Just like in the myth, Perseus will help you smite all of the challenges of managing all of your medusa stores.
A very early version of a medusa desktop client. At this point, it is mostly a wrapper of the default medusaJS admin site. However, it's final form will be radically different.
Although the idea was born as a fun concept, with limited actual utility, maybe it could be used by someone for some actual use.
In the future it could be useful for anyone with a few medusa stores
- Built with Tauri app - a better Electron alternative.
- Dashboard - allowing one click access to many webstore admins from one place.
- Admin themes - user defined color themes.
- Fix issue of having to add localhost to backend CORS. Solution will allow simply adding admin URLs within the app.
- Native desktop notifications.
- Much more.
Technically, the project itself does not have any strict medusa dependencies. However, a running medusa backend would allow you to get beyond the login screen.
- Install Tauri Prerequisites
Because the project is built using Tauri, its prerequisites must be met.
They include Rust lang and Visual Studio C++ Build Tools for windows. For MacOS Tauri requires CLang and macOS development tools.
Specifics and how to install can be found here: Tauri Prerequisites
- Install dependencies
yarn
- Add your medusa backend CORS URL to evironment variables
If running in development (yarn tauri dev)
// .env.development
GATSBY_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL=<ADMIN_CORS_URL>
For production (yarn tauri build)
// .env.production
GATSBY_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL=<ADMIN_CORS_URL>
- Start dev server
yarn tauri dev
Be forewarned, the initial build might take a while as both Gastby and Tauri are quite phat. Though subsequent builds are much quicker as they update changes.
- Optional: start only Gatsby server
yarn startAll config at this time is all thats available in medusa and in Tauri (available in tauri.config.json - more info on tauri.app).
More to come soon.
