api_host [required]

• api_host is the full URL of your store

Examples

1. https://my-curios-shop.lemonstand.com - if your store name is my-curios-shop and does not use a custom domain.
2. https://my-curios-shop.ca - if you have a custom domain and have SSL configured.

Note: LemonSync will only modify the theme marked as the editing theme for the user who owns this API key. You can put a theme into editing mode by using the theme settings in the LemonStand backend.

---

watch_dir [required]

The watch_dir should point to your local theme folder, which should have the theme.yaml file in it.

file_patterns [optional]

Examples

• Watch for changes only to .js and .css files.

  file_patterns = [ "*.js", "*.css" ]
  

• Watch for changes in specific directories.

   file_patterns = [ "*/pages/*", "*/resources/*" ]
  

  This will match against all directories named pages and resources in your watch_dir. To watch on the root level pages and resources directories only, you need to specify the full path to the directories.

  file_patterns = [ "/full/path/to/pages/*", "/full/path/to/resources/*" ]

  To match a file in a specific directory, the full path needs to be specified.

  ignore_patterns = [ "/full/path/to/file.ext" ]
  

• Ignore directories.
