Order-Ahead Sample Application

Step 3: Generate Test Catalog Items

If you do not already have catalog items in your test account, you can run a script to generate some test catalog items. The order-ahead sample application automatically reads your catalog item data (including images and prices) and imports them into the application.

To generate some test catalog items:

Run the following command in the root directory of the sample application:

npm run seed

On success, you see a list of successfully generated catalog items:
