Can we develop plugins for shopify using MERN stack? - shopify

I checked on various blogging site or on google but I did not get the answer of this question. So can anyone tell me if we can create plugin or POS type application for shopify websites using MERN stack?
If yes, can you please share links which will help me to look more into the same topic? It would be great help.
Thank you

You can create any kind of app you want with your stack. There is nothing special about that stack that would prevent you from developing a web application with it. It is after all suitable since you get a database, web server, and the scripting to tie it all into an API-driven platform.
I have built hundreds of Shopify Apps, and some have used MongoDB, some have used Express, and some have used React, so clearly, to me at least, if I have done it in production, you can too!

I am developing a website which has a "meeting room", this site is built using Wordpress. I am trying to use some videocalls APIs, but couldn't understand the steps in order to integrate with de Worpress. Do I have to build a plugin?
I know some existing plugins for videocall, but they do not have the features I need, therefore I found some videocalls APIs that have the features I need. I also know how to embbed a videocall using iframe.
Thanks in advance.

Where to store an Rest API

So I wrote an app in React Native. Now I have my Django Rest framework and a mysql database. I know: I should pay a hosting service to host my database and put the React Native code in the playstore. (This is meant symbolically) But Now I still have the Django Rest framework project - where should I store that? I may also have profile images in the app. Where should I store those? Sorry if the question seems a bit silly
You just need to get a webserver. For example Digital Ocean or Amazon Webservice, etc.. There you have to upload the project and you access the website over your own domain e.g.: www.yourproject.com
Now you can use your urls for example
www.yourproject.com/api/user
I hope I could help you

Getting started with Vue Storefront

I am trying to build multi vendor eCommerce progressive web application and I came across vue storefront. Although the documentation is very helpful I want to hear if I have made the right choice and where I could find some resources to build. Thanks in adavnce.
We had an e-commerce website built using Magento 2. Recently we decided to build our frontend using Vue Storefront PWA. It is feature rich but we've faced lots of issues regarding customizations. So my suggestion is to you that if your project doesn't need highly customization then go for it.

Building a Custom API on top of Parse.com?

I'm planning on building a developer API similar to what Uber and Yo have done. Is it possible to build such API if my app's backend is powered by parse.com? I don't want my custom API pointing to parse, but instead my own site.
I'm planning on using ruby, and was wondering if there would be any limitations over other options (not sure what options I have). Thanks
I'm not sure if it is possible using ruby, but I know it's definitely possible to build your own REST API.
We have decided to go a bit further and wrote a parse-angular seed project for developing web apps. It can be found here.
After you pulled it, do a npm install
As usual,
cloud code should go into cloud/main.js
express code: cloud/app.js
angular code: cloud/public/js/
Note that: You will need to change your AppId and AppKey in
config/global.json
cloud/public/js/app.js
As for custom apis, you can define your own in cloud/routes/api.js.
At this point you should have a nice parse-angular project set up and good to go.
If there's anything wrong, please feel free to open a pull request. :)

Security questions for iOS app interaction with API

I am going to develop an iOS app for my web application so I will be working on an API Service that the iOS app will consume.
My question is :
How can I make sure to protect the access to my API ?
My main concern is just that I don't want someone else to use my API in order to duplicate the content to another app or website.
Thanks in advance,
Unfortunately this is very difficult to do. In short, you can't do this with 100% assurance because once your code is in the client's hands you have no control over it. Check out this StackOverflow question: Security When Using REST API in an iPhone Application
