Shopify Next.js x Prisma Boilerplate

An embedded app starter template to get up and ready with Shopify app development with Next.js and Prisma.

I've included notes on this repo which goes over the repo on why certain choices were made.

Video

I made a video that goes over the entire repo, creating theme extension and deploying with Vercel and PlanetScale. If you want to learn Shopify app dev in-depth, I also sell a course How To Build Shopify Apps

Why I made this

Building with Express and React was great but eventually there comes a time where you have to remind yourself that you need to get on with the times and use what's new and stable. Serverless made sense, and Next.js made even more.
