About Flagship

Flagship accelerates development of the best omnichannel commerce experiences by providing a library of pre-built components and integrations. That way, you can focus more on innovations that matter.

Flagship helps you to:

• Build sites and apps in a singular codebase using components based on proven best practices
• Connect commerce APIs automatically using our API adapters
• Manage personalized engagement campaigns using the tools you already use or ours

It’s written in React Native and developed by Branding Brand.

How It Works

Flagship is comprised of a core flagship package and a number of ancillary modules which work together to help you build an ecommerce experience.

You can use modules independently — with or without the flagship core package. For example, fsproductindex displays a product index which you can use as a screen or embed as part of a larger screen. See packages for an exhaustive list of modules.

Flagship core manages the boilerplate Android, iOS, and web code, similar in concept to Expo. For a more detailed exploration of the features of Flagship, see the flagship package.

Modules are built using a shared stack of foundation packages which provide a unified interface for networking, analytics, commerce integrations, components, and more across each of our supported platforms. Higher-level modules do not need to implement platform-specific code.

Foundation packages provide a normalization over their integrations. For example, fscommerce provides a single interface to query both Demandware and Shopify. The higher-level fsproductindex module doesn’t need to know what the data source is to display a grid of products.

These foundation packages are built on top of one another. For example, fscomponents has props that inherit from fscommerce; fscommerce sends analytics using fsengage; and fsengage talks to the network using fsnetwork.

Foundation

Flagship’s foundation is comprised of:

fsengage	analytics, content management, and A/B testing
fsnetwork	networking and caching
fsfoundation	baseline types used by other Flagship packages
