Getting Started with Solidus Starter Frontend
summary
Converts the Solidus frontend from a gem into a rails application template that copies code into your app so customization is direct; installs by adding individual Solidus components then running the template; adds controllers, routes, mailers, assets and RSpec tests used in CI; implements components with the view_component gem and ships a working product listing-to-checkout demo; supports only the latest Solidus release and requires manual updates for frontend security patches because updates do not propagate automatically.
