It's recommended to install the plugin from the repository when developing, please read the install section.

When developing or testing the module it may be useful to connect it to your local Nosto environment or the staging environment instead of the live one. This can be done by modifying a "Dot Env" (.env) file in the Nosto SDK that the module uses. After having installed the module in Shopware, copy SHOPWARE/engine/Shopware/Plugins/Local/Frontend/NostoTagging/vendor/nosto/php-sdk/.env.example to SHOPWARE/engine/Shopware/Plugins/Local/Frontend/NostoTagging/vendor/nosto/php-sdk/.env and modify the parameters.

• NOSTO_SERVER_URL is the Nosto URL used in the storefront

• NOSTO_API_BASE_URL is the base URL for all API calls to Nosto

• NOSTO_OAUTH_BASE_URL is the base URL for connecting Nosto accounts through OAuth

• NOSTO_WEB_HOOK_BASE_URL is the base URL for Nosto web hooks

• NOSTO_IFRAME_ORIGIN_REGEXP is a regexp for validating window.postMessage() event origin dispatched by the account configuration iframe (not in use in this module)

The sample .env file can viewed here​

Note that you can only have one .env file at a time, and if you wish to switch between environments you can copy them into .env.[environment] files. This way you can switch the environment by replacing the .env with the correct .env.[environment] file.

NOTE: when modifying the backend ExtJS app, you need to either disable the Shopware cache or clear it every time you want to test your new changes.
