Spartacus + xdn-router configuration

This is an experimental configuration of Spartacus and xdn-router. More about the two here:

• Spartacus https://github.com/SAP/cloud-commerce-spartacus-storefront
• XDN https://www.moovweb.com/faq

Usage

1. Build Spartacus SSR $ yarn build:ssr
2. Start the server $ yarn serve:ssr
3. Start the xdn router server $ node server.js
4. Test - open http://localhost:3000

What's going on

XDN is a CDN as code provided by MOOVWEB. It let's you control caching mechanism programmatically. To use it we set up an Express server that renders Spartacus app (listening on localhost:3002). Then we set up the xdn-router in front of it (listening on localhost:3000), so that it calls Spartacus and is able to cache it. We can configure the caching mechanism in router.js.

What's next

This is a PoC (Proof of Concept) that it is possible to deploy Spartacus or plain Angular apps to MOOVWEB XDN. However, it requires some extra development to be production ready.
