How can I add a new shop?

[DerHOgi]

What do I have to do, to add a new shop? I tried to add medimax.de to the list of stores.

I created the file:
/src/store/model/medimax.ts with the necessary parameters.

2 files where created by the bot itself:
/build/store/model/medimax.js
/build/store/model/medimax.js.map

I edited the files:
/src/store/model/index.ts
/build/store/model/index.js

I add the store to /.env

But... something is missing.
If I start the bot, I get an error that there is no store named medimax. What is missing?

Take a look here: #1018

Recently pulled this in. This is how you would add a new store.

Other than that, I'm working on a big update to help make this easier for users.

Thanks!

I also wanted to add medimax to the stores list (as well as otto and other smaller stores), how could this be done?

You have to create a new *.ts file for the store e.g. /src/store/model/medimax.ts
Simplest way is to make a copy of an existig store and then ajust all the necessary parameters.

After that, you only have to edit /src/store/model/index.ts and add the new store at two places in the same format like the other stores.

Finally you have to add the store to /.env
That's it.

I have Medimax and Otto up and running but only for sonyps5c.

@DerHOgi thanks a lot! would you mind sharing the .ts files, as I don't know the url, container and texts?

Thanks for the help @DerHOgi!

@DerHOgi - I'm trying but it is failing stating warn :: No store named smyths, skipping.

Any chance you can help us?

@DerHOgi thanks a lot! would you mind sharing the .ts files, as I don't know the url, container and texts?

I think the url would just be the page that has the add to cart.

@DerHOgi & @jef I followed the guide and I am not quite sure how to locate the input for the container: in the function of inStock:. Many apologies in advance if it is a simple fix, I have little to no programming knowledge.

I am currently trying to create a .ts file for called walmart-ca for ps5. I copied and paste from walmart.ts, but as I am trying to locate and find what I should input for container, I realized the canadian walmart uses very different coding for their site. For example, I am able to locate that the text 'add to cart' in a wrap within a class that has data-tl-id=ProductPrimaryCTA-cta_add_to_cart_button when I inspect the element of "add to cart" button, but I cannot locate the same thing on walmart canada. Any suggestion?

[jef]

For the containers, what you'll wanna do is use F12 on the site you want to Inspect and click this button

Hover over the item you want and it should give you the context:

You can also right-click on any website element and select 'Inspect'. That should also give you the same results.

Some people will decide to choose a parent element as it can be unique. Like this case!

I'd rather use .button spin-button prod-ProductCTA--primary button--primary instead of .spin-button-children as there are probably other elements on the page that are also .spin-button-children.

The reason why we use these selectors anyway is to wait for the webpage to load these specific elements, to help eliminate false positives.

Below is my walmart-ca.ts file using the very unique selector for the container, but It is still timing out. However, I have tested it by changing the url to US walmart link, and applying your .button spin-button prod-ProductCTA--primary button--primary as container for a item that is in stock, it is not timing out but it is also saying that the item is out of stock (I know that is a whole different issue and probably not a good test). Point is I understand what you mean on the container but I am not able to get it to work unfortunately.....

import {Store} from './store';

export const WalmartCa: Store = {
	labels: {
		inStock: {
			container: '.css-1z01by0 e6mlhfu0',
			text: ['Add to cart']
		},
		maxPrice: {
			container: 'span[class*="price-characteristic"]'
		}
	},
	links: [
		{
			brand: 'sony',
			model: 'ps5 console',
			series: 'sonyps5c',
			url: 'https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/playstation5-console/6000202198562'
		},
