Configure & Run Headless Storefront
Once you have generated your Bagisto Headless project, the next essential phase is to establish a bridge between your storefront and your backend services. This ensures that your application is dynamic and ready to serve real-time data to both web and native platforms.
What you will do in this section:
- Environment Setup: Configure the critical connection strings required to communicate with your API.
- Server Initialization: Launch the storefront on your local development environment.
- Data Verification: Confirm that the frontend is successfully retrieving and displaying products from the backend.
Importance of this Step
A correctly configured environment is the foundation for the native bridge. Without a functional API connection, the native mobile shell will have no content to render.
