**Static where possible, dynamic where necessary:**

- Product pages, store listing, and landing page are statically generated at build time
- Medusa webhooks trigger a re-deploy when products are created, updated, or deleted — keeping static pages in sync
- Product variant availability is refreshed client-side to prevent stale inventory data
- Cart, checkout, and navigation hydrate as interactive React islands
- Middleware handles region detection and country-based routing
- Cart state persists client-side via Nanostores + `localStorage`

## Pages

| Route                        | Description                                      |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `/:country/`                 | Landing page                                     |
| `/:country/store`            | Product catalog                                  |
| `/:country/store/:productId` | Product detail with image carousel               |
| `/:country/cart`             | Shopping cart                                    |
| `/:country/checkout`         | Multi-step checkout (address, shipping, payment) |
| `/:country/order/confirmed`  | Order confirmation                               |

All routes are prefixed with an ISO-2 country code for region-based pricing and shipping.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) 18+
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) 4.x
- A running [Medusa v2](https://docs.medusajs.com) backend
- [Stripe](https://stripe.com) account (for payments)

### Setup

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/bystrol/astro-medusa-starter.git
cd astro-medusa-starter/

# Install dependencies
yarn

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
```

Fill in your `.env`:

```env
PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:9000
PUBLIC_MEDUSA_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_...
DEFAULT_REGION=us
PUBLIC_STRIPE_KEY=pk_test_...
S3_DOMAIN=your-bucket.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
PUBLIC_INPOST_GEOWIDGET_TOKEN=your-token
PUBLIC_INPOST_SANDBOX=true
```

> Make sure your Medusa backend has [CORS configured](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/configurations/medusa-config#httpstorecors) to allow requests from your storefront origin.

### Development

```bash
yarn dev        # Start dev server on localhost:8000
```

### Production

```bash
yarn build      # Build for Cloudflare Workers
yarn preview    # Preview the production build locally
```

```

## Key Design Decisions

- **Islands architecture** — React only loads for interactive components (cart, nav, checkout). Everything else ships as zero-JS static HTML.
- **Real-time inventory checks** — Product variant stock data is fetched client-side on page load, ensuring accurate availability even though pages are statically generated.
- **Edge deployment** — Cloudflare Workers adapter means your storefront runs close to your customers, everywhere.
- **Tailwind v4** — No config file. Theme customization lives in CSS with `@theme`. Powered by the Vite plugin.
- **Region-aware routing** — Country code in the URL drives pricing, currency, and available shipping options — all resolved via Medusa regions.
