Integration

Boxalino provides several repositories you will need. This one plays the role of the initial environment you will extend with your team. You also need the data layer and the framework layer. The data layer repository manages the export of your data to Boxalino. The framework layout is built following Magento 2 practices and provides elements (blocks, observers, helpers, etc) which your integration plugin can re-use and which is maintained by Boxalino.

While the other repositories (data layer and framework layer) will be maintained by Boxalino, this repository will not, as it is your integration environment in which you will work and use what you need and extend what you want. Therefore, as this repository is provided as a guideline (tutorial), you will need to integrate it (which means replicate it) in a repository/moduled maintainted&developed by the client's team. For this reason, this repository is generally not subject to Boxalino maintenance on client setup.

This repository can be deployed for testing Boxalino features or in order to prepare your own integration. In order to deploy it as is in a local environment, check the Setup steps bellow.

This repository can also be deployed for checking out Boxalino features (as a demo). By requiring this repository, it will also install other dependencies. Please review the composer.json and follow-up with other dependencies deployments guidelines.

In order to create your own integration layer All At Once - please check the wiki on Initial Setup (All-At-Once).
