Do you have physical stores? This extension is for you! Tell your customers where they can get your products.

It adds an admin option to easily create Store Locations.

It uses jQuery Store Locator Plugin to allow your users to find the stores by providing an address or zip code.

Add spree_store_locator to your Gemfile:

gem 'spree_store_locator'

Bundle your dependencies and run the installation generator:

bundle
bundle exec rails g spree_store_locator:install

All the markup needed for jQuery Store Locator Plugin is in the app/views/spree/stores/index.html.haml. If you want to customize the Store Locator, you might need to override this view.

If you don't need to customize a lot, you might want to add some basic styling.

Keep in mind that the following markup is mandatory:

#form-container
  %form#user-location{action: "#", method: "post"}
    #form-input
      %label{for: "address"} Enter Address or Zip Code:
      %input#address{name: "address", type: "text"}/
    %button#submit{type: "submit"} Submit
#map-container
  #loc-list
    %ul#list
  #map

If you want to customize the plugin functionality, then you will need to override the :coffescript section. Here are some examples and the full list of available options of the plugin.

You also can override the templates that the plugin uses for dinamically generate the Stores List. Those templates are located on your public/templates folder. After running the installation generator of course.

First bundle your dependencies, then run rake. rake will default to building the dummy app if it does not exist, then it will run specs. The dummy app can be regenerated by using rake test_app.

bundle
bundle exec rake

When testing your applications integration with this extension you may use it's factories. Simply add this require statement to your spec_helper:
