Guard::Shopifytheme

Uses Guard to watch for changes and update Shopify when a file is changed. Very similar functionality to guard-shopify, except that it uses the shopify_theme gem to do most of the work. This has a couple of advantages:

• shopify_theme is maintained by Shopify, so will usually be up-to-date.
• The config settings are stored in the project directory (rather than in ~/.guard_shopify, as with guatd-shopify)
• If you choose to use the theme watch command provided by shopify_theme instead of Guard, then everything will still work properly – you don't need to maintain two sets of config files.

Installation

Make sure you have installed Guard.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'guard-shopifytheme'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself with:

$ gem install guard-shopifytheme

If you don't already have shopify_theme set up, create a config.yml file in your project directory (see here):

---
:api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
:password: YOUR_PASSWORD
:store: YOURSHOP.myshopify.com
:theme_id: 'YOUR_THEME_ID'
:ignore_files:
- README.md
- CHANGELOG.md

Add the Guard definition to your Guardfile with:

$ guard init guard-shopifytheme

Usage

There aren't any options, so usage is pretty simple:

# Upload Changes to Shopify
guard :shopifytheme do
  watch(/assets\/.*/)
  watch(/config\/.*/)
  watch(/layout\/.*/)
  watch(/snippets\/.*/)
  watch(/templates\/.*/)
end

An Alternative

If you don't want to install this gem, you can just add this to your Guardfile:

require 'guard/plugin'

module ::Guard
  class ShopifyTheme < ::Guard::Plugin
    def run_all
    end

    def start
    end

    def run_on_changes(paths)
      paths.each do |path|
        system "theme upload #{path}"
      end
    end

    def run_on_removals(paths)
      paths.each do |path|
        system "theme remove #{path}"
      end
    end
  end
end

Todo
