What it is

Vendure is an open-source headless commerce platform built on Node.js, NestJS, and GraphQL, providing a single extensible backend that serves any frontend (D2C, B2B, marketplace) with built-in catalog, orders, payments, promotions, and customer management. It emphasizes plugin-first architecture and TypeScript end-to-end, allowing teams to extend or override core behavior without forking the codebase. Monorepo structure with packages/ containing core engine (packages/admin-ui-plugin, packages/admin-ui) and shared utilities. The admin-ui follows modular Angular library layout with lib/catalog containing routable modules (catalog.routes.ts, catalog.module.ts) and organized component…

Start here

Open these first:

  • packages/admin-ui-plugin/src/plugin.ts — Main plugin entry point that integrates the admin UI with the Vendure core platform and registers API extensions.
  • packages/admin-ui/src/app/app.module.ts — Root Angular module that bootstraps the admin UI application and configures core dependencies.
  • packages/admin-ui/src/app/app.routes.ts — Central routing configuration that defines all navigable sections of the admin dashboard.
  • packages/admin-ui-plugin/src/api/api-extensions.ts — Defines GraphQL schema extensions that bridge admin UI requests to the NestJS backend.
  • packages/admin-ui/src/lib/catalog/src/catalog.module.ts — Feature module for catalog management UI that handles products, variants, collections, and facets.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
  • Node.js version pinning is strict (20.19+ or 22.12+ required); older versions will fail. SQL database must be explicitly provisioned before init (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite). Admin UI is Angular-based, not…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
