description Structure of the Smartstore repository and solution

Source code organization

Smartstore's repository keeps concerns separated and supports modular development.

Solutions

  • Smartstore.sln – main solution containing application projects, modules, and tests.
  • Smartstore.Tools.sln – separate solution for tooling and utilities.

Top-level directories

Path Purpose
src/ Application source code: core libraries, domain layer, web host, database providers, and modules.
test/ Unit and integration tests mirroring the structure of src/.
build/ Build automation scripts and configuration.
tools/ Additional tools used during development and build.

src/ breakdown

  • Smartstore – cross-cutting infrastructure (caching, I/O, routing, engine runtime).
  • Smartstore.Core – domain models, business logic, migrations, and service abstractions.
  • Smartstore.Web – ASP.NET Core host with controllers, views, and configuration.
  • Smartstore.Web.Common – shared web helpers, MVC components, theming, and bootstrapping.
  • Smartstore.Modules – optional features like payment or shipping providers. Each module is a separate project with its own resources and optional migrations.
  • Smartstore.Data.* – database provider packages (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) keeping data access provider-specific.

During a build, modules from src/Smartstore.Modules are compiled and copied to src/Smartstore.Web/Modules for runtime loading.

Tests

Test projects reside in the test/ directory and follow the layout of src/. Typical projects include Smartstore.Tests, Smartstore.Core.Tests, and module-specific tests. All tests run via:

dotnet test Smartstore.sln
