Pionia
Welcome to Pionia v3. Start with Introduction (install + meet Pionia Shop), then open the Pionia Shop tutorial in the sidebar when you are ready to code.
The example app (read this first)
Docs do not use random sample names. We build one small store end to end:
- Pionia Shop — a fictional online store with products, orders, and a customer wallet
- ada@pionia.shop — the sample customer in curl examples
- pionia-shop — the project folder name in commands
| Table | Role |
|---|---|
products | What you sell |
customers | Who shops |
orders / order_items | What they bought |
wallets / wallet_transactions | Balance and payments |
Introduction explains the idea; the Pionia Shop tutorial walks you through building it in 15 steps.
