FastStore: Simplified FastStore setup with FastStore CLI dependency update

To simplify the installation process and reduce potential version conflicts, the FastStore CLI (@faststore/cli) package now directly depends on FastStore Core (@faststore/core).

Previously, both @faststore/core and @faststore/cli packages were required dependencies in the package.json file to install and run a FastStore project.

Now, the new @faststore/cli version depends on the @faststore/core package, eliminating the need for an explicit dependency of both in the package.json file, preventing potential version conflicts, and simplifying installation.

If the @faststore/cli is already listed in your dependencies, no further action is needed. To check if the package is listed, open your FastStore project in a code editor, go to the package.json file, and check the dependencies property. For example:

If the @faststore/cli is not listed, follow these steps:

Before applying the following changes to your production environment, test them in a local development environment to ensure compatibility and avoid issues with your live store.

1. Open your FastStore project in a code editor, navigate to the package.json file, and locate the dependencies property.

2. In the dependencies property, replace @faststore/core with @faststore/cli. Before removing the @faststore/core, the dependencies property might look like this:

   package.json

   
   

   _10

   "dependencies": {

   _10

   "@faststore/core": "^3.0.xx",

   _10

   "next": "^13.5.6",

   _10

   "react": "^18.2.0",

   _10

   "react-dom": "^18.2.0"

   _10

   },

   
   

   After replacing @faststore/core with @faststore/cli, the dependencies property should look like this:

   package.json

   
   

   _10

   "dependencies": {

   _10

   + "@faststore/cli": "^3.0.87",

   _10

   "next": "^13.5.6",

   _10

   "react": "^18.2.0",

   _10

   "react-dom": "^18.2.0"

   _10

   },

   
   

   Replace for a @faststore/cli version equals or greater than 3.0.87. The 3.0.87 is when these package dependencies changes were applied.

3. Still on the package.json file, remove the @faststore/cli from the devDependencies property. After removal, it should look like this:

   package.json

   
   

   _10

   "devDependencies": {

   _10

   "@cypress/code-coverage": "^3.12.1",

   _10

   "@faststore/lighthouse": "^3.0.68",

   _10

   "@lhci/cli": "^0.9.0",

   _10

   "@testing-library/cypress": "^10.0.1",

   _10

   "cypress": "12.17.4",

   _10

   "cypress-axe": "^1.5.0",

   _10

   "cypress-wait-until": "^2.0.1",

   _10

   "typescript": "^4.9.4"

   _10

   },

   
   

4. Open the terminal and run yarn to install the updated dependencies and update your yarn.lock file.

5. If no errors occur during or after running yarn, create a pull request with these changes to your remote repository to apply the updates to production.

If you encounter any errors when updating these dependencies, please open a ticket with VTEX Support.
