How to change BaseStore from SAP Spartacus storefront

Question

As Spartacus is for B2C process there is no any option to change BaseStore from storefront. I have a drop down for different countries and now want to change BaseSite from it.

Answer 1

So finally I made it working. I am storing baseSite to session if its changed from dropdown and if user is coming back reading it first from session. here what you have to do to make it working:

1. Override BaseSite service and change initialize method similar to the initialize method of LanguageService. (which check if baseStore is stored in session )

2. Listen to SET_ACTIVE_BASE_SITE action and set payload to session. (again similar like activeLanguage effect in LanguagesEffects)

3. Now in B2cStorefrontModule config add your other sites as

 B2cStorefrontModule.withConfig({
     context: {
       baseSite: ['electronics','mystore2','mystore-uk', 'mystore-canada'],
       language: ['en'],
       currency: ['USD']
     }

So the main solution is, you listen to basestore change action and store the value to session and on page load you read basestore from session
