Process Breakdown:

1. Requirement Gathering:

   • Plugin Dashboard Repo - Local Dev Setup & Research. 

     • Develop overview of system, define .

     • Define system purpose.

   • Shopify Dashboard & Research.

     • Develop overview of Shopify system.

     • Document

       Define Shopify requirements.
       

2. Planning & Design:
   The plugin is broken down into components, namely:
   

   1. App install

      • Install requires registration as an app provider.

      • Authentication process and Token exchange.

      • The app registers within Shopify and Customer shop.

      • Privilege establishment

      • Persists to DB.

   2. App uninstall

      • Authentication process and Token exchange.

      • The app un-registers within Shopify and Customer shop.

      • Deletes from DB.

   3. App Configuration

      • Configuration settings. App requires configuring.
        Options are provided to be either an eKomi client or Netcomm or both.

        • eKomi Client settings:

          • ShopId

          • Shop Interface Password

        • Netcomm Client settings:

          • NetcommId

      • App configuration will be persisted in the DB.
        CRUD functionality.

   4. Requirements:
      Shopify has requirements that each app should meet.
      https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/app-requirements-checklist

      1. App is installable from shopify store and needs to be registered.

      2. App needs to store Netcomm & eKomi credentials.

      3. App is embedded, uses Shopify App Bridge functionality.
         https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-bridge

   5. Native Symfony / Docker app.

   6. DB Entity

   Implementation:

3. Local Dev Setup.

   1. Setup environment to develop - environment specifics needed for the repo to work.
      

4. Learn Plugin Dashboard system.

   1. Read Plugin documentation.

   2. Read Plugin code as I’m supposed to model off them.
      

5. Shopify Setup

   1. Learn what Shopify requires and how to do development with them.
      https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/app-requirements-checklist
      https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-bridge
      So based upon our tech stack it seems like we actually just use the PHP library / dependancy to intergrate the app with Shopify.
