The docs say "Hydrogen can only be used to build Shopify web storefronts. Currently, Hydrogen doesn't support building other types of custom storefronts, including mobile apps, video games, and smart devices."
I get that the shopify components expect to receive shopify-format data, but are there other restrictions we should understand? The docs do say Hydrogen apps can hit 3rd-party API's, so how do we think about the dividing line between what Hydrogen can and can't do?
- jplhomer 5y agoNot in particular — this was meant as way to clarify that Hydrogen isn't a drop-in solution for e.g. Android or Unity apps. Though we're exploring the use of Hydrogen + React Native > Android/iOS.
- yodon 5y agoAh - I think I answered my own question. The doc comment is focusing on you can only use it to build _web_ storefronts and I was reading it as you can only use it to build web _storefronts_. It's a general purpose React web framework built on Shopify, but it doesn't yet do React Native or etc.
