QuickStart an Angular Ecommerce App using a Headless CMS API

Cosmic is an API-first content management platform that makes it easy to add content to any existing or new application. Developers get a suite of powerful APIs while content managers manage content in a familiar cloud-based content editor. To demonstrate how easy it is to get started with Cosmic, we'll utilize the Cosmic CLI to quickstart an Angular Ecommerce App. 

This Angular ecommerce app allows you to process orders from customers and accept Stripe payments for goods and services.  Manage inventory in your Cosmic Dashboard or in the admin area on the website. You can even subsequently deploy the app to Cosmic, Zeit, Heroku or Netlify.

🛠️ Installation

Install via the Cosmic CLI:

I set up an example Bucket for this blog:

Run cosmic -h for a list of all commands. Run cosmic [command] -h for details on options for a specific command. You're now up and running with an Angular Ecommerce App that can be managed entirely from your Cosmic Bucket Dashboard and Command Line Terminal tool of choice. 

Conclusion

I was able to easily install an Angular Ecommerce App using a headless CMS API that I can now use to manage dynamic content changes. When ditching the installed content management system and going API-first isn't quick enough, check out the Starter Apps from Cosmic  to get a project up and running in seconds. 🔥
