shopify-routes

[Travis]

In most of my Shopify apps I end up having to write routes for
redirecting the user back to Shopify. Usually to the shop's admin
page, or the products, or orders pages. I kept adding to the list of
routes I would include in config/routes.rb, and it started getting
rather sloppy. So I wrote this gem so I could do this in my config/
routes.rb:

namespace :shopify do
ShopifyAPI.routes self, only: [:products, :orders]
end

Then I'd have these paths available to use in my app:

shopify_products_url
shopify_orders_url

The gem is published if anybody wants to use it. Just include shopify-
routes in your Gemfile. The code and docs are on Github here:

It's really early in development. I haven't written the tests for it,
yet. The gem just kind of evolved naturally as I was writing other
apps, so any feedback would be appreciated!

Handy! I will fork that idea and make myself a handy Sinatra module providing that for my Apps too. Will keep that public when I do...

I am also tired of always having to keep track of the relevant Shop URL to return someone to from within the App code... thanks!

Hey Travis,

That looks great! When you're happy with your code we'd love to see a pull request including the gem in shopify_app.
