Non-root install?

[basicfeatures]

Hello! Trying to add the starter frontend to my namespaced Rails app but it seems the installer places everything into the root so I have to manually move things around afterwards. Maybe in the future it could support something like this?

rails generate solidus:install --frontend=solidus_starter_frontend --namespace=store

Thanks 🙏

Thanks for your feedback, @basicfeatures. That's something present in our roadmap but not there yet 🙂

@basicfeatures would you be able to provide the basic steps (no need for it to be fancy!) you used to move manually from root to a namespace?

That could turn very useful for:

1. anyone wanting to take up the challenge and submit a PR addressing this feature
2. other people having the same need, at least until a better solution is in place 🙏

Hey guys,

Thanks for the interest!

I'll be back with a working solution ASAP.

@jarednorman right now everything is placed in store if I am not mistaken, so can be closed

[jarednorman]

No, just because everything is added to the host app does not mean that there's a way to install somewhere other than root. You would have to do the work yourself and I don't know how much work that is. If it's insignificant, then we should document the process and close this. If it's significant, someone should eventually add support.

Hey @basicfeatures , you opened up this ticket some time ago, did manage to workout some solution?

@jarednorman @fthobe I think would be fair to close this as stale as it seems to be just a sporadic need, unless we've seen a frequent need for it ourselves.

If @basicfeatures comes back with instructions we'll still be happy to incorporate them to the documentation.

[jarednorman]

Sure. I'm sure someone will want this eventually, but realistically no one will do it until someone needs it.
