How can I test Server events in local environment?​

To test server events in a local environment, you need a Redis server, and you must configure redis host and port in your front-commerce.config.ts file:

front-commerce.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@front-commerce/core/config";

export default defineConfig({
  extensions: [themeChocolatine()],
  serverEvents: {
    integrations: [],
    redis: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 6379,
    },
  },
});

Then you need to start the worker by running the following command from your project : pnpm run worker

If you would like to obtain additional information and enable debug mode, you can do one of the following:

  • Run the command with the DEBUG flag : DEBUG=front-commerce:server-events:cli pnpm run worker
  • Add the debug flag to your .env file : DEBUG=front-commerce:server-events:cli

What data is published for a Server Event?​

The data returned by the events is an object with the following properties :

{
  event_type: string, // Type of the event defined in the Event emitter
  created_at: string // Timestamp of when the event was created
  payload: object // The data of the event
  metadata: object // The metadata of the event
}
