I do believe you may have found a very solid niche on KZitem, since you most likely are the only BigCommerce tutorial channel out. Even BigCommerce themselves have videos that are multiple years old.

Wow, this is the clearest, most consice explanation on how to use Stencil CLI for theme development. Your walkthrough was very informative and helpful. I've gone through the Big Commerce Development Docs several times, but I'm a novice at console commands and such so I never knew the final step of publishing. This video, along with your others, are some of the best resources I've stumbled upon for Big Commerce theme dev. Thanks!

@bc-kalwiggins

Different colors like the text? That’s probably a setting in your IDE. If its showing crazy colors when you’re doing NPM install, then you probably have a conflict between your node or a broken or deprecated package. You might need help.

Hi Kal, thanks for the informative video! I have a question regarding version control through github. It seems this info is a little vague out there, but I was curious how you might handle two BigCommerce remote environments (i.e. production and sandbox) but retain all of the code in one git repository (example: "master" branch contains production code, "develop" contains sandbox code) and you could theoretically run each branch locally and use the stencil CLI for each as well. Is this even possible? Thanks!
@bc-kalwiggins
Жыл бұрын
hey Greg, Great question. I don't personally use continuous deployment in my gitflow so I push manually to the store at the same time I push changes to git. So in my setup it would totally work to use a separate branch as the sandbox branch and push it to the sandbox store. I guess you'd have to have it initialized with a separate CLI key so you should make sure to exclude your stencil key file from your git repo so they don't get crossed. BUT... I will say that I almost never use a sandbox store for development. I just code and push a non-active theme and use the BigCommerce customizer to proof it. It's not ALWAYS perfect but it at least marries up your working theme with their live data so its more perfect than a sandbox usually, and less extra work. Just don't make it active and you shouldn't have any problems. Hope it helps!

Hey Kal so when I type npm install it throws me a deprecated error do I need to change my nodejs version?
@bc-kalwiggins
2 жыл бұрын
as of this moment, stencil cli has been updated fairly recently and now requires python 2.7x and node14. node12 is deprecated. if you have those both applied then you're probably good (unless you're on mac silicon). note that there is ALWAYS some deprecated errors when installing, AND your particular theme might require older packages that might be outdated too.
@noneyabusiness804

I believe the reason it's not applying is because you are changing the name instead of the version number.
@bc-kalwiggins
Жыл бұрын
I never change the version numbers... I recommed using those to keep track of what theme version I'm on to make it easier to know when i need to update it later. so if it says you're on 5.5 and 6.5 is out, you have an idea of where you're at.

If you need to change the port, you can rerun "stencil init" and change it when it shows on the screen, or you can edit it in config.stencil.json and then rerun "stencil start"

Is there a way to use stencil objects to call a single product to display? I know this is something I can do using the customizer, but I'm trying to do something a little more unique that can dynamically change.

hi Jake, only on the product page. Every page has its context and stencil manipulates the context of that page and/or global objects. Individual products aren't global objects. You CAN however, use graphQL or stencil utils to query an individual product's data but that's pretty advanced. I'm happy to consult if needed.

I'm guessing that your API Key was generated before they started encoding the channels into the key. Just generate a new one and I bet it will work.

if your local CLI doesn't match the live site, the difference is usually either in widget content or in scripts that are loaded on the front end, and those scripts only run on the front end (live store). EG your stamped or yotpo script.

I tried to reach out to Epic Design Labs because I'd like your help in installing Stencil Local Development, I got close to the end and then a bunch of errors popped up. I submitted a request through the "Want To Work With Us?" button, but got a 404 error. Please fix this as soon as possible because you're losing money.

Thanks for the headsup, that link should be good. BigCommerce updates their docs a lot but they can't seem to pick a consistent system so a lot of times their links break... I agree they need to work on this. I can't fix that but I can pump out loads of videos to build the community in my own way tho!
