@dashcommerce/core

The e-commerce plugin for EmDash CMS.

Current npm version: 0.1.2. See the monorepo README for the full feature list and quick start, or dashcommerce.dev/docs for guides. Live demo: demo.dashcommerce.dev.

Package exports

Entry	Context	Purpose
.	Vite / build time	Descriptor factory (dashcommerce()) — imported in astro.config.mjs. Side-effect-free.
./sandbox	Runtime server	definePlugin({ hooks, routes }) loaded by the emdash runtime. Sandbox-safe.
./admin	Browser	React admin pages + dashboard widgets + field widgets.
./astro	Host SSR	blockComponents registry for Portable Text block renderers.
./astro/components/*	Host SSR	Storefront Astro components (<ProductCard>, <CartSummary>, etc.).
./astro/islands/*	Host SSR + client	React islands (CartDrawerIsland, CheckoutIsland, etc.).

Install

Four steps to add DashCommerce to an existing EmDash + Astro site:

bun add @dashcommerce/core

Register the plugin in astro.config.mjs:

import { dashcommerce } from "@dashcommerce/core";

emdash({ plugins: [dashcommerce()] });

Merge the products collection + taxonomies into your seed file, then re-apply:

bunx dashcommerce-merge-seed
bun emdash seed --on-conflict=update

Open /_emdash/admin/plugins/dashcommerce/settings and paste your Stripe test keys.

Want sample data? Add --with-demo-catalog to the merge step to seed six demo products (one per product type) plus product_category and product_tag terms, so the admin isn't empty on first boot:

bunx dashcommerce-merge-seed --with-demo-catalog
bun emdash seed --on-conflict=update

Re-running is safe — existing products with matching ids are preserved. Swap or delete the demo entries any time from the Products admin.

For a fully-wired reference setup (seed data, storefront pages, Stripe keys), see @dashcommerce/starter. Full walkthrough: dashcommerce.dev/docs/getting-started.

Seed merge CLI

@dashcommerce/core ships a dashcommerce-merge-seed binary (on your PATH via node_modules/.bin). It writes the products collection and product_category / product_tag taxonomies into your EmDash seed.json, replacing any prior DashCommerce entries by slug / name. Unrelated keys in the seed file (settings, content, menus, other collections) are left intact.

# Typical one-liner after emdash init (fresh DB)
bunx dashcommerce-merge-seed && bun emdash seed --on-conflict=update

Or add to package.json:

"scripts": {
  "bootstrap": "dashcommerce-merge-seed && bun emdash seed --on-conflict=update"
}

Why --on-conflict=update? On a first run it's a no-op, but subsequent runs (after a DashCommerce release that tweaks the products schema) need it to update the collection in place rather than skipping it.

Options: --seed <path> (override file), --cwd <dir>, --with-demo-catalog (append 6 demo products + curated taxonomy terms). When --seed is omitted the CLI uses the same default resolution as emdash seed: .emdash/seed.json if present, otherwise package.json → emdash.seed.

Prefer to assemble the seed in TypeScript? Import mergeDashCommerceSeed(seedObject, { withDemoCatalog }) from the package root — same dedupe rules as the CLI. The demo catalog is also exported directly as DEMO_PRODUCTS, DEMO_PRODUCT_CATEGORY_TERMS, and DEMO_PRODUCT_TAG_TERMS for cherry-picking.

Runtime surface

Public routes (storefront)

All paths mount under /_emdash/api/plugins/dashcommerce/.

GET    /cart                              Current cart (creates if missing; re-runs recalculate)
POST   /cart/items                        Add line item
PATCH  /cart/item?lineId={id}             Update qty

Admin-gated routes

Same prefix, gated by emdash's admin auth:

GET    /admin/settings                    Read all settings:* keys
POST   /admin/settings                    Write (validated via schema)

POST   /admin/orders/:id/refund           Full or partial refund
PATCH  /admin/orders/:id/status           Transition order status (triggers review-request etc.)
GET    /admin/customers …                 Customer CRUD

… plus coupons, vendors, shipping zones/methods, tax rates, subscriptions, reviews moderation, menu, customer-portal-session

Hooks

• content:beforeSave on the products collection — field validation (price map, variants, stock, shipping class)
• cron — stock-lock sweep (5 min), abandoned-cart reminders (hourly), subscription renewals dry-check
• plugin:install — seed default settings (taxMode=flat, currencies, download TTLs, etc.)
• plugin:activate — assert Stripe keys present; emit config warnings if not

Plugin storage collections

19 collections declared in storage-collections.ts:

orders · order_items · order_refunds · customers · customer_addresses
product_variants · inventory_ledger · stock_locks
coupons · coupon_usages · shipping_zones · shipping_methods · shipping_classes
tax_rates · reviews · subscriptions · vendors · vendor_payouts · download_grants

Plus one content collection declared by the host via defineProductsCollection():

products  (lives on host content, not plugin storage — emdash restriction)

KV namespaces

Prefixes ctx.kv uses under the hood:

settings:*                  plugin configuration (tax mode, currencies, Stripe keys, etc.)
cart:{sessionId}            active carts (30-day TTL via cookie)
lock:{productId}:{variant}  stock soft-locks during checkout
abandoned:{sessionId}       abandoned-cart marker (sent / not sent)
email-throttle:{category}:* per-customer email de-duplication keys

Admin surface

React pages served at /_emdash/admin/plugins/dashcommerce/*:

• Orders (list, detail, refund, status transitions)
• Customers (list, detail, order history)
• Coupons (CRUD + usage reports)
• Shipping (zones + methods + classes)
• Tax (mode + flat rate + rate table + Stripe Tax status)
• Subscriptions (list, detail, pause/resume, invoice history)
• Reviews (moderation queue, bulk approve/reject)
• Vendors (invite, onboarding status, payout history)
• Menus (storefront nav editor, nested up to 4 levels)
• Reports (revenue + top products + top customers + MRR)
• Settings (all settings:* keys with per-key validation)
• Dashboard widgets: Revenue, Low Stock, Recent Orders, Pending Reviews, Failed Renewals

Field widgets (for use in any collection via widget: "dashcommerce:<name>"):

• vendor-select — picks a vendor from vendors storage
• price-map — multi-currency price input, respects settings:enabledCurrencies

Portable Text blocks (for any rich-text field):

• product-embed — single product card by slug
• product-grid — N products from a category slug
• review-quote — inline quote of an approved review

Events & emails

The plugin sends these transactional emails via ctx.email.send (HTML + plain text):

Event	Template	Triggered by
Order receipt	emails/receipt	Webhook charge.succeeded / checkout.session.completed
Refund	emails/refund	Webhook charge.refunded or admin refund POST
Subscription renewed	emails/subscription-renewed	Webhook invoice.payment_succeeded (cycle only)
Dunning	emails/dunning	Webhook invoice.payment_failed
Abandoned cart	emails/abandoned-cart	Hourly cron, per settings:abandonedCartDelayHours
Review request	emails/review-request	Order status → completed on physical items
Vendor invite	emails/vendor-onboarding	startOnboarding() in vendors/onboarding.ts
Vendor activated	emails/vendor-onboarding	Webhook account.updated when chargesEnabled flips true
Vendor payout	emails/vendor-payout	Webhook payout.paid

All senders are idempotent via ctx.kv de-dup keys.

Development

bun install
bun run typecheck
bun run build          # tsdown bundles index + sandbox-entry + admin/entry
bun run dev            # tsdown --watch
bun test               # 66 tests across money / cart / coupons / webhook / tokens / split

src/astro/ is shipped as source — it is NOT bundled. It imports .astro components that rolldown can't compile; the host's Astro build resolves the imports at consumer build time.
