We're running Vue Storefront 2.x with the server middleware (middleware.config.js) proxying a commerce backend, and we need backend date fields — order dates, promotion start/end times — to respect each shopper's region. The documented behavior is that the integration's axios api-client forwards cookies from the incoming request to preserve session identity,
Frontend-Backend Interoperability Vue Storefront utilizes a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) pattern to normalize data from e-commerce platforms like Magento or BigCommerce. When migrating a small application to a new version of the frontend, the goal is to achieve zero downtime by routing traffic via a Load Balancer or CDN to a new environment. Cache and Versioni
Integration Boundary Vue Storefront's commercetools middleware ( @vsf-enterprise/commercetools-api ) requires valid projectKey, clientId, and clientSecret at startup; there is no configuration flag to enable a mock adapter. Constraints commercetools sandbox credentials come from a per-developer trial project that expires after 60 days of inactivity. Communit
Goal Determine the exact maximum GraphQL query length accepted by the Vue Storefront middleware and how it influences pagination responses. Constraints The default limit is reported as 1000 characters, but log formats differ between Community and Enterprise editions, and Docker image tags may change logging paths. Questions Is the 1000‑character limit enforc
Vue Storefront's accessibility challenge with overlay focus management Vue Storefront's composable frontend renders overlays like the cart drawer, login modal, and search panel as Vue components within the theme layer. A persistent accessibility question centers on how to handle keyboard focus when these overlays open: should the implementation rely on a cus
Goal Establish a single, version-controlled development environment that works across Magento, Shopify, and other backend integrations without requiring each developer to maintain custom Docker overrides or local .env files. Constraints and uncertainty The CLI-scaffolded docker-compose.yml only defines the frontend service and expects external API endpoints.
Distributed Cache Invalidation Vue Storefront utilizes a middleware layer to decouple the frontend from backend APIs, often implementing caching strategies to minimize latency. In clustered environments where multiple middleware instances are deployed, the system must synchronize cache purges to prevent stale data from being served to users. While the framew
Context Vue Storefront 2.10+ composables such as useProduct and useCategory cache responses in Pinia stores keyed by normalized parameters. During SSR, the @vue-storefront/nuxt module serializes Pinia state, but client-side hydration recomputes cache keys using runtime parameters—including locale, currency, and custom headers—that may not match the SSR conte
Goal Gracefully handle request cancellations and timeouts when calling commerce backends through Vue Storefront’s SDK/middleware layer. Constraints Vue Storefront routes all storefront calls through a server‑side middleware that wraps an HTTP client (commonly axios). The timeout and cancellation behavior is therefore defined by the client configuration and t
