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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@shopware/api-gen) CLI.
To take a deep dive into the topic visit the [🧑🎓 API Client Tutorial](https://api-client-tutorial-composable-frontends.pages.dev) first.
Install npm package:
<!-- automd:pm-install name="@shopware/api-client" -->
```sh
npx nypm install @shopware/api-client
npm install @shopware/api-client
yarn add @shopware/api-client
pnpm install @shopware/api-client
bun install @shopware/api-client
deno install @shopware/api-client
```
<!-- /automd -->
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://"),
});
});
```
```typescript
import { createAdminAPIClient } from "@shopware/api-client";
```
The setup works the same way as `creteAPIClient` function, with few differences
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
```
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.
Take a look at [example project using API Client](https://stackblitz.com/github/shopware/frontends/tree/main/examples/new-api-client).
```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,
});
}
```
The new API client is leveraging [ofetch](https://github.com/unjs/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`
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" },
});
}
```
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
}
}
```
Api client provides hooks to listen to events like context change, authentication change or default headers change. Example:
```typescript
apiClient.hook("onDefaultHeaderChanged", (key, value) => {
// here we can detect that the default header has changed, either by the user or by the headers incoming from the API
});
```
Available hooks:
- `onContextChanged`: Triggered when context token changes
- `onResponseError`: Triggered when API returns an error
- `onSuccessResponse`: Triggered when API request succeeds
- `onDefaultHeaderChanged`: Triggered when default headers are modified
- `onRequest`: Triggered before each request is made, allowing for request inspection and modification
calling `apiClient.hook` will autocomplete the list of available hooks.
The API client provides methods to manage its base configuration:
```typescript
// Get current configuration
const config = apiClient.getBaseConfig();
console.log(config.baseURL); // "https://demo-frontends.shopware.store/store-api"
console.log(config.accessToken); // "SWSCBHFSNTVMAWNZDNFKSHLAYW"
// Update configuration
apiClient.updateBaseConfig({
baseURL: "https://new-url.com/store-api",
accessToken: "NEW_TOKEN",
});
```
This allows you to dynamically change the API endpoint or access token during runtime, for example when switching between different environments or when the access token needs to be updated.

- `getBaseConfig`: Returns current baseURL and accessToken values
This change replaces the previous `updateBaseUrl` method with a more flexible configuration management system that can be extended in the future.
