## What it is
An official Shopify template for building Shopify apps with Node.js and React. It scaffolds OAuth installation, Admin API access (GraphQL and REST), webhooks, and a Polaris/App Bridge frontend out of the box.

## Use cases
- start building a shopify app in node
- shopify app boilerplate with oauth
- scaffold a shopify embedded app with react
- connect to shopify admin graphql api
- handle shopify webhooks in express
- build a shopify app frontend with polaris

## When to choose
- you are starting a new Shopify app in JavaScript/React
- you want official OAuth, webhook, and Admin API setup maintained by Shopify
- you want Polaris and App Bridge preconfigured

## When to avoid
- you are building a Shopify app in another language or stack
- you need a custom architecture that a template would fight against
- you are building a non-Shopify e-commerce integration
