The Broadleaf Demo store provides a simple example of how certain Broadleaf Commerce Framework features can be implemented. It is useful to observe typical browse, search, checkout, promotion, and content-targeting features.
The demo can also serve as an easy starting point for those looking to quickly prototype a specific feature.
Running the Demo Online
The web storefront for the Broadleaf Demo is available online at http://www.broadleafcommerce.org/broadleafdemo.
To request a virtual demo site where you can use the administration console, fill out the form on our main website. http://www.broadleafcommerce.org/get-started
We've prepared a couple of Demo Guides to help you explore the Broadleaf Admin and the demo site.
Questions about the Demo
The Broadleaf Commerce forums has a topic dedicated to questions about the Broadleaf Commerce demo.
Running the Demo Locally
The Broadleaf Demo is located on GitHub as a public repository at https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/BroadleafCommerceDemoSite. You can easily download and extend the demo for your own purposes. The demo is not intended to be used as the basis for a production implementation but can be useful for familiarizing yourself with the framework and for prototyping.
The demo application is a Maven project and includes an Ant build to run the project.
After downloading the demo application, use the following steps to run the demo locally.
1. Update build.properties to point to your installation of Maven.
2. Run the Maven->Install (this could take some time as it will download all of the related libraries and build the admin module for the first time.)
3. Next, run the jetty-demo ant task found in build.xml.
