## Problem Summary

Shopify provides APIs, CLI, and templates, but the app development experience is often fragmented. Most official starters are built for Remix or Next.js, and the React ecosystem lacks a truly modern, flexible starter that leverages TanStack's best-in-class libraries. Developers end up re-implementing authentication, embedded context, and API patterns from scratch.

## Solution

Shopify App TanStack React offers a ready-to-use foundation for building Shopify Apps with React and the TanStack suite. It's not just a boilerplate, but a real-world, production-tested foundation that is easy to adapt and extend.

## Key Features

- **Modern React + TanStack**: Uses TanStack Router, Query, Table, and more for best-in-class DX and scalability.
- **Production-ready authentication**: Shopify OAuth flow fully integrated.
- **Embedded App support**: Works seamlessly inside Shopify Admin with App Bridge.
- **Polaris UI**: Native Shopify UI components out of the box.
- **API integration layer**: Clean separation of API logic using TanStack Query.
- **TypeScript-first**: Fully typed for safety and maintainability.
- **Deployment-ready**: Works on Vercel, Render, and other modern platforms.

## Quick Start

1. Clone the repo: [github.com/yan-ad/shopify-app-tanstack](https://github.com/yan-ad/shopify-app-tanstack)
2. Follow the README to set up your Shopify API key & secret.
3. Run the development server (`pnpm dev` or `yarn dev`) and start building your app.
4. Deploy to Vercel, Render, or your preferred platform.
