TypeScript SDK

​

Before You Begin

• Node.js: a platform for creating scalable network applications that includes the npm package manager.
• A Dev Center Account with a provisioned sandbox.
• An Application Key (also called the Client ID) and Secret.
• A Kibo tenant.

​

Get Started

​

Create an Application

1. Log in to Dev Center.
2. Create a new application.
3. Add the Customer Read behavior to the application. This step is necessary to give your application the necessary permissions to read customer accounts. If you design additional functionality for your application, such as updating an order, then add the appropriate behaviors to avoid a permissions error.
4. Install the application to a sandbox.
5. Enable the application in Admin. If you decide to add additional behaviors to your application after this step, you must reinstall the application to your sandbox and re-enable the application in Admin to apply the new behaviors.
6. Locate your Application Key, Shared Secret, Tenant ID, and Site ID. Obtain the Application Key and Shared Secret from the application details page in the Dev Center. Obtain the Tenant ID and Site ID by viewing your site and looking at the URL, which has the format t{_TenantID}_‑s{_SiteID}_.sandbox.mozu.com. 
   • You can also use the Get Tenant API call to return the Site ID and a Master Catalog ID if needed. The Master Catalog ID is not required for the particular API call used in this tutorial.

​

Install the TypeScript SDK

1. Create a new directory on your local machine.
2. Open a command prompt in the new directory.
3. Run npm init to create a package.json file in your directory. When prompted, provide a name for your npm package and accept the default values for the remaining prompts, making sure that the entry point for your application is index.js. When you build a fully-fledged application, you can customize these responses instead of accepting the default values like you do for this tutorial.
4. Run npm install @kibocommerce/rest-sdk to install the TypeScript SDK.
5. Run npm install typescript ts-node @kibocommerce/rest-sdk.

​

Create an API Client

1. If you want to use environment variables, create a .env file at the root of your project and enter your credentials and any other required values such as Catalog IDs.
   Copy

   KIBO_LOCALE=
   KIBO_TENANT=
   KIBO_SITE=  
   KIBO_MASTER_CATALOG=  
   KIBO_CATALOG=
   KIBO_CURRENCY=
   KIBO_AUTH_HOST=
   KIBO_CLIENT_ID=
   KIBO_SHARED_SECRET=
   KIBO_API_ENV=
   
2. Import the Kibo Configuration and Customer Account API packages, as well as .env configurations if you are using environment variables.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   // Import necessary modules
   import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk';
   import { CustomerAccountApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CustomerAccount';
   
   // Load configuration from environment variables using dotenv
   import 'dotenv/config';
   
3. Create a Configuration object using either hardcoded values or environment variables.
   • Hardcoded Values:
     Copy

     Ask AI

     // Import necessary modules
     import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk';
     import { CustomerAccountApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CustomerAccount';
     
     // Create a Configuration Object with hardcoded values
     const configuration = new Configuration({
       tenantId: 26507,
       siteId: 41315,
       catalog: 1,
       masterCatalog: 1,
       sharedSecret: '12345_Secret',
       clientId: 'KIBO_APP.1.0.0.Release',
       pciHost: 'pmts.mozu.com',
       authHost: 't00000.sandbox.mozu.com',
       apiEnv: 'sandbox',
     });
     
   • Environment Variables:
     Copy

     Ask AI

     // Import necessary modules
     import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk';
     import { CustomerAccountApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CustomerAccount';
     import 'dotenv/config';
     
     
     // Load configuration from environment variables
     const configuration = Configuration.fromEnv();
     
4. Create a Customer Account API client using your configurations to retrieve customer accounts.

// Import necessary modules
import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk';
import { CustomerAccountApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CustomerAccount';
import 'dotenv/config';

// Load configuration from environment variables
const configuration = Configuration.fromEnv();

// Create an instance of the CustomerAccount API client
const client = new CustomerAccountApi(configuration);

try {
    // Attempt to retrieve customer accounts
    const response = await client.getAccounts();
    
    // Process the response as needed
} catch (error) {
    // Handle any errors that occur during the API request
    console.error(error);
}

​

Other API Clients

import { SomeApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/*'

// Import the InventoryApi module from the SDK
import { InventoryApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/Inventory'

// Create an instance of the InventoryApi using the provided configuration (assuming 'config' is defined elsewhere)
const client = new InventoryApi(config)

// Attempt to retrieve inventory information for items with UPC '1234'
const resp = await client.getInventory({ items: [{ upc: '1234' }] })

​

Customize with Middleware

// Import necessary modules and types from the SDK
import {
  Middleware,
  RequestContext,
  ResponseContext,
  FetchParams,
  ErrorContext,
} from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/types'

// Define a LoggerMiddleware class that implements the Middleware interface
export class LoggerMiddleware implements Middleware {
  // Middleware pre() method: executed before making the API request
  public async pre(context: RequestContext): Promise<FetchParams | void> {
    console.log(\`sending METHOD: ${context.init.method} URL: ${context.url}\`)
  }
  
  // Middleware post() method: executed after receiving the API response
  public async post(context: ResponseContext): Promise<Response | void> {
    console.log(\`response STATUS: ${context.response.status}\`)
  }
  
  // Middleware onError() method: executed if an error occurs during the API request
  public async onError(context: ErrorContext): Promise<Response | void> {
    console.error('logging error', context.error)
  }
}

// Import necessary modules from the SDK
import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk'
import { ProductSearchApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CatalogStorefront'

// Create an instance of the LoggerMiddleware
const loggerMiddleware = new LoggerMiddleware()

// Create a Configuration object with specified settings and middleware
const configuration = new Configuration({
  tenantId: 26507,
  siteId: 41315,
  catalog: 1,
  masterCatalog: 1,
  sharedSecret: '12345_Secret',
  clientId: 'KIBO_APP.1.0.0.Release',
  pciHost: 'pmts.mozu.com',
  authHost: 't00000.sandbox.mozu.com',
  apiEnv: 'sandbox',
  middleware: [loggerMiddleware], // Include the logger middleware
})

// Create an instance of the ProductSearchApi using the configuration
const client = new ProductSearchApi(configuration)

// Import necessary modules from the SDK
import { Configuration } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk';
import { ProductSearchApi } from '@kibocommerce/rest-sdk/clients/CatalogStorefront';

// Create an instance of the LoggerMiddleware
const loggerMiddleware = new LoggerMiddleware();
// Create an instance of the ProductSearchApi using the 'configuration'
const client = new ProductSearchApi(configuration);

// Attach the logger middleware to the ProductSearchApi client
client.withMiddleware([loggerMiddleware]);
