@particular./shopify-request


🎮 Minimal Shopify API request library for Node

Installation

yarn add @particular./shopify-request # npm install @particular./shopify-request

Quickstart (OAuth)

const { createClient } = require('@particular./shopify-request');
// import { createClient } from '@particular./shopify-request'

const shopify = new createClient({
  store_name: '...', //Shopify Store Name
  admin_access_token: '...', //Shopify OAuth token received after registering as Public App and installing to Store
  storefront_access_token: '...' //Shopify OAuth token received after using admin_access_token to call 'admin/storefront_access_tokens.json'
});

shopify
  .delete('admin/products/:product_id.json')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

shopify
  .get('admin/products.json')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

shopify
  .post('admin/products.json', {
    product: {
      title: 'My Product',
      body_html: "<strong>It's great!</strong>",
      variants: [
        {
          option1: 'S',
          price: '10.00',
          sku: '123'
        }
      ]
    }
  })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

shopify
  .put('admin/products/:product_id.json', {
    product: {
      id: 632910392,
      tags: 'tag 1, tag 2, tag 3'
    }
  })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

Quickstart (Basic Auth)

NOTE: This should not be used in production as it passes client_pass in base64 encoded clear text using basic auth.

const shopify = new createClient({
  store_name: '...', //Shopify Store Name
  client_key: '...', //Shopify API Key
  client_pass: '...' //Shopify API Password
});

Kitchen sink

const shopify = new createClient({
    store_name: '...',
    admin_access_token: '...',
    storefront_access_token: '...',
    application: '...',
    headers: {
        // ...
    }
})

-OR- //access_token (above) -OR- client_key AND client_pass BUT INSECURE (below)

const shopify = new createClient({
    store_name: '...',
    client_key: '...',
    client_pass: '...'
    application: '...',
    headers: {
        // ...
    }
})

Custom headers per request

The API provides you the ability to send various request headers that change the way data is stored or retrieved.
By default this library will encode all data as JSON, however you can customise this by setting your own Content-Type header as an additional argument to get, patch, post, put and delete.
Note: If you add the Content-Type custom header to patch, post, put or delete you will need to encode data yourself.

const shopify = new createClient({
  store_name: '...',
  admin_access_token: '...',
  storefront_access_token: '...'
});

const headers = {
  'X-My-Header': 'custom'
};

shopify
  .get('admin/products.json', headers)
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);
