cimplify init

Scaffold a working Next.js App Router storefront from one of seven industry templates. After `bun install`, `bun dev` boots the local mock API alongside Next, and you have a real shop in 60 seconds.

Usage

cimplify init [dir] [-t <template>]

# Pick a target directory and template
cimplify init my-store -t retail
cimplify init bakery-shop --template bakery

Arguments & flags

Flag	Description
`[dir]`	Target directory. Must be empty or non-existent. Defaults to `my-storefront`.
`--template <name>`, `-t`	One of `bakery` (default), `restaurant`, `retail`, `services`, `grocery`, `fashion`, `pharmacy`.

Templates

Template	Best for	Industry-specific routes
`bakery`	Warm food storefront with product modal.
`restaurant`	Menu-driven, with reservations.	`/reservations`
`retail`	Variant-aware retail shop.	`/products/[slug]` with full PDP
`services`	Bookable services with calendar.	`/book`
`grocery`	High-SKU grocery with quick-add.
`fashion`	Editorial multi-drop fashion.	`/lookbook`, `/size-guide`
`pharmacy`	Licensed pharmacy with prescription uploads + pharmacist consults.	Prescription-input fields on PDP

Every template is a Next.js 16 App Router project with the same architectural shape. Server Components are cached via Next 16 ISR (export const revalidate per page + cacheOptions: { revalidate, tags } on SDK reads); cart, checkout, and orders are client islands.

Rebrand checklist

Every visible string flows from lib/brand.ts, every visible color from app/globals.css's @theme block. Do not edit pages or components for content changes.

File	Edits for
`lib/brand.ts`	Name, contact, hero, header nav, FAQ, policy bodies, account copy.
`app/globals.css` `@theme`	Palette, radius, fonts.
`.env.local`	`NEXT_PUBLIC_CIMPLIFY_PUBLIC_KEY` (required). `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL` is optional; only set it to override the canonical URL the storefront derives from the request `Host`.
`app/layout.tsx`	(Optional) `next/font/google` swap.

Test scripts

Script	Runs	Time
`bun run check:brand`	`assertBrand(brand)` + placeholder detector.	<2s
`bun run check:cart`	Add / dedupe / remove against the in-process mock.	~5s
`bun run check:contract`	Zod-validates outbound and inbound shapes.	~3s
`bun run check`	typecheck + lint + all suites.	~15s

Where next

mock: local API Seven seeds, frozen clocks, webhooks.
login: authorize the CLI Browser-first PKCE.
deploy: ship to preview Then promote with --prod.
React SDK Provider, components, hooks.
