Vendure Dev Server

This package is not published to npm. It is used in development of the Vendure server and plugins.

Running

To run the server, run the start script. The database configuration can be specified by the --db=<type> flag:

yarn start --db=mysql
yarn start --db=postgres
yarn start --db=sqlite

The default if no db is specified is mysql.

Populating data

Test data can be populated by running the populate script. This uses the same sample data as is used by the Vendure CLI when running init, albeit with the additional step of populating some sample customer & address data too.

Specify the database as above to populate that database:

yarn populate --db=sqlite

Load testing

This package also contains scripts for load testing the Vendure server. The load testing infrastructure and scripts are located in the ./load-testing directory.

Load testing is done with k6, and to run them you will need k6 installed and (in Windows) available in your PATH environment variable so that it can be run with the command k6.

The load tests assume the existence of the following tables in the MySQL database:

• vendure-load-testing-1000
• vendure-load-testing-10000
• vendure-load-testing-100000

The npm scripts load-test:1k, load-test:10k and load-test:100k will populate their respective databases with test data and then run the k6 scripts against them.

Results

The results of the test are saved to the ./load-testing/results directory.
