shopware/frontends - api-client ​
Dynamic and fully typed API Client for Shopware 6. Usable in any JavaScript and TypeScript project. You can use types generated from your custom API instance to have autocompletion and type safety.
To generate your own types use @shopware/api-gen CLI.
Setup ​
Install npm package:
sh
# ✨ Auto-detect
npx nypm install @shopware/api-client
# npm
npm install @shopware/api-client
# yarn
yarn add @shopware/api-client
# pnpm
pnpm install @shopware/api-client
# bun
bun install @shopware/api-client
Store API client setup ​
Recommended practice is to create a separate module file. For example src/apiClient.ts
, and import it whenever you need to use API Client.
typescript
import { createAPIClient } from "@shopware/api-client";
// You can pick types of your current API version, the default one:
import type { operations } from "@shopware/api-client/store-api-types";
// or - RECOMMENDED - your types generated by [@shopware/api-gen](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shopware/api-gen) CLI:
import type { operations } from "./api-types/storeApiTypes";
// you can pick cookies library of your choice
import Cookies from "js-cookie";
export const apiClient = createAPIClient<operations>({
baseURL: "https://demo-frontends.shopware.store/store-api",
accessToken: "SWSCBHFSNTVMAWNZDNFKSHLAYW",
contextToken: Cookies.get("sw-context-token"),
});
apiClient.hook("onContextChanged", (newContextToken) => {
Cookies.set("sw-context-token", newContextToken, {
expires: 365, // days
path: "/",
sameSite: "lax",
secure: shopwareEndpoint.startsWith("https://"),
});
});
Admin API client setup ​
typescript
import { createAdminAPIClient } from "@shopware/api-client";
The setup works the same way as creteAPIClient
function, with few differences
credentials (optional) - Quick scripting or token-based authentication ​
We provide optional credentials
parameter to createAdminAPIClient
. Which allows you to use authentication type of your choice whenever you wish to create connection to any endpoint.
Example:
typescript
import type {
operations,
} from "@shopware/api-client/admin-api-types"; // we take default admin api types from different directory than store-api - use your own types by generating schema with @shopware/api-gen CLI
import type { operations } from "./api-types/adminApiTypes"; // or use your own types generated by @shopware/api-gen CLI
const adminApiClient = createAdminAPIClient<operations>({
baseURL: `${process.env.SHOP_URL}/api`,
credentials: {
grant_type: "password",
client_id: "administration",
scopes: "write",
username: process.env.SHOP_ADMIN_USERNAME,
password: process.env.SHOP_ADMIN_PASSWORD,
},
// credentials: { // or token-based example
// grant_type: "client_credentials",
// client_id: "administration",
// client_secret: process.env.SHOP_ADMIN_TOKEN,
// },
});
await adminApiClient.invoke(...); // invoke defined endpoint
sessionData (optional) - Persistent authentication ​
This parameter is used to store session data in cookies (or other place you want to store it), so you can keep your session persistent.
You can combine this option with credentials
property.
typescript
// example adminApiClient.ts file
import { createAdminAPIClient } from "@shopware/api-client"; // we use different function to create admin api client
import { createAdminAPIClient } from "@shopware/api-client";
import type { operations, Schemas } from "@shopware/api-client/admin-api-types"; // we take default admin api types from different directory than store-api
import Cookies from "js-cookie";
export const adminApiClient = createAdminAPIClient<operations>({
baseURL: "https://demo-frontends.shopware.store/api",
sessionData: JSON.parse(Cookies.get("sw-admin-session-data") || "{}"),
});
adminApiClient.hooks("onAuthChange", (sessionData) => {
Cookies.set("sw-admin-session-data", JSON.stringify(sessionData), {
expires: 1, // days
path: "/",
sameSite: "lax",
secure: shopwareEndpoint.startsWith("https://"),
});
});
the rest works the same as store-api client.
Basic usage ​
Take a look at example project using API Client.
Simple invocation ​
typescript
import { apiClient, RequestReturnType } from "./apiClient";
// could be reactive value, you can use ApiReturnType to type it properly
let productsResponse: RequestReturnType<"readProduct">;
async function loadProducts() {
productsResponse = await apiClient.invoke("readProduct post /product", {
limit: 2,
});
}
Fetch features ​
The new API client is leveraging ofetch library, which has built in support for AbortController, timeout and other features.
Example usage of AbortController to cancell your request:
typescript
const controller = new AbortController();
const request = client.invoke("readContext get /context", {
fetchOptions: {
signal: controller.signal,
},
});
controller.abort(); // At this point client will throw an error with the information, that the request has been cancelled
Other example of using fetchOptions
for setting the timeout:
typescript
const request = client.invoke("readContext get /context", {
fetchOptions: {
timeout: 5000, // 5 seconds
},
});
All exposed options available under fetchOptions
are:
cache
duplex
keepalive
priority
redirect
retry
retryDelay
retryStatusCodes
signal
timeout
Predefining methods ​
If you prefer to add another layer of abstraction you can use created previously types to define your own concept of methods.
typescript
// add for example into apiClient.ts file
const readNavigation = ({
depth,
type,
}: {
depth: number;
type: "main-navigation";
}) =>
apiClient.invoke("readNavigation post /navigation/{activeId}/{rootId}", {
headers: {
"sw-include-seo-urls": true,
},
pathParams: {
activeId: type,
rootId: type,
},
body: {
depth,
},
});
// in another file you can use it, and depth property will be set to 2 by default
import { readNavigation } from "./apiClient";
async function loadMainNavigation() {
const navigation = await readNavigation({
body: { activeId: "main-navigation", rootId: "main-navigation" },
});
}
Error handling ​
Client is throwing ApiClientError
with detailed information returned from the API. It will display clear message in the console or you can access details
property to get raw information from the response.
typescript
import { ApiClientError } from "@shopware/api-client";
try {
// ... your request
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ApiClientError) {
console.error(error); // This prints message summary
console.error("Details:", error.details); // Raw response from API
} else {
console.error("==>", error); // Another type of error, not recognized by API client
}
}
