Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) is an open-source frontend platform for building composable-commerce storefronts on Vue.js. It provides developer tools, UI components, and backend integrations to help developers build, deploy, and monitor e-commerce frontends. The platform is fully customizable and backend-agnostic, so it works with any commerce backend that exposes an API.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

What should I check when deploying Vue Storefront 2 on a self-hosted Linux server?

Use the Ubuntu-focused self-hosted deployment example and inspect the built output for the API client, composables, and theme packages.

Can I connect a commerce backend that does not have a ready-made Alokai connector?

Yes, you can create a custom integration when a connector is not already available for a commerce, CMS, payment, or search service.

Is Vue Storefront a good fit for a beginner launching a small store?

It is better suited to a customized store; the community answer suggests beginners start with Shopify or WooCommerce and test demand first.
