Re: Headless Commerce Plugin for OFBiz
Hello Team,
As per our last community discussion on headless commerce, we decided to
prepare wiki pages to list down the eCommerce features that OFBiz provides
so that the API roadmap can be defined. I have worked on preparing those
documents. It will be great if we could get these documents reviewed by
more members of the community. Here are the docs-
*1. OOTB OFBiz eCommerce Feature Set*: This document contains the
eCommerce features that OFBiz provides and will help us to define the API
roadmap and quick-start implementation.
Here is the Wiki Page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/WIP%3A+OOTB+OFBiz+eCommerce+Feature+Set
*2. Headless Commerce (OFBiz) - API RoadMap: *This document contains the
API endpoints to expose the OOTB eCommerce functionalities.
Here is the Wiki Page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/WIP%3A+Headless+Commerce+%28OFBiz%29+-+API+Roadmap
*3*. *Headless Commerce Requirement Specifications: *The purpose of this
document is to describe the standard features that a modern eCommerce
system should have. So even if it is not implemented in the OFBiz yet can
be added to this document. At the end of this effort, we can compare the
OOTB eCommerce Feature Set and the Headless Commerce specification document
to identify the gaps. It will help us to identify the new features that we
can plan to introduce in the near future.
Here is the Wiki Page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/WIP%3A+Headless+Commerce+Requirement+Specification
These documents are work in progress. Please feel free to share your
feedback and collaborate to further refine these documents.
Kind Regards,
