State Importer

A package that helps with importing commercetools states in JSON format to the commercetools platform. This package is built to be used in conjunction with sphere-node-cli

Configuration

The constructor accepts three arguments:

• A required object containing the following values:
  • apiConfig (Object): AuthMiddleware options for authentication on the commercetools platform. (Required. See here)
  • continueOnProblems (Boolean): Flag whether to continue processing if an error occurs (Optional. Default: false)
• accessToken (String): Access token to be used to authenticate requests to API. Requires scope of [manage_project] to create and/or update states or [manage_orders] to update states
• An optional logger object having four functions (info, warn, error and verbose)

Usage with sphere-node-cli

You can use this package from the sphere-node-cli. In order for the cli to import states, the file to import from must be a valid JSON and follow this structure:

[
  {
    "key": "foobar",
    "type": "ReviewState",
    "name": {
      "en": "chancellor"
    },
    "description": {
      "en": "Some state used for reviews"
    },
    "initial": false
  },
  {
    "key": "Wubalubadubdub",
    "type": "LineItemState",
    "name": {
      "en": "science"
    },
    "initial": true
  },
  {
    "key": "Meeseeks",
    "type": "LineItemState",
    "name": {
      "en": "can do!"
    },
    "initial": true
  },
  {
    "key": "new-product-state",
    "type": "ProductState",
    "name": {
      "en": "new-sample-product-state",
      "de": "neue-beispiele-product-state"
    },
    "description": {
      "en": "john and jane doe",
      "de": "Denkt euch daran"
    },
    "initial": true
  },
  ...
]

Then you can import this file using the cli:

sphere import -t state -p my-project-key --host 'https://api.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com' --authHost 'https://auth.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com' -f /path/to/file.json -c
 '{"continueOnProblems": true}'

Direct Usage

If you would like to have more control, you can also use this module directly in Javascript. To do this, you need to install it:

npm install @commercetools/state-importer

Then you can use it to import states:

import StateImport from '@commercetools/state-importer'

const states = [
  {
    key: 'foobar',
    type: 'ReviewState',
    name: {
      en: 'chancellor'
    },
    description: {
      en: 'Some state used for reviews'
    },
    initial: false
  },
  {
    key: 'Wubalubadubdub',
    type: 'LineItemState',
    name:{
      en: 'science'
    },
    initial: true
  },
  {
    key: 'Meeseeks',
    type: 'LineItemState',
    name: {
      en: 'can do!'
    },
    initial: true
  },
  {
    key: 'new-product-state',
    type: 'ProductState',
    name: {
      en: 'new-sample-product-state',
      de: 'neue-beispiele-product-state'
    },
    description: {
      en: 'john and jane doe',
      de: 'Denkt euch daran'
    },
    initial: true
  },
  ...
]

const options = {
    apiConfig: {
      host: 'https://auth.commercetools.com'
      projectKey: <PROJECT_KEY>,
      credentials: {
        clientId: '*********',
        clientSecret: '*********'
      }
    },
    accessToken: '123456yuhgfdwegh675412wefb3rgb',
    continueOnProblems: false
  }
}

const logger = {
  error: console.error,
  warn: console.warn,
  info: console.log,
  debug: console.debug,
}

const stateImport = new StateImport(options, logger)

stateImport.run(states)
  .then(() => {
    stateImport.summaryReport()
    // handle successful import
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // handle error
  })

On successful completion, a call to the .summaryReport() method returns a report in the following format:

{
  reportMessage: 'Summary: there were 5 successfully states (3 were newly created, 2 were updated and 0 were unchanged).',
  detailedSummary: {
    created: 3,
    updated: 2,
    unchanged: 0,
    errors: {
      create: []
      update: []
    }
  }
}

Note: By default, if a state exists, the module tries to build update actions for it, and if no update actions can be built, the states will be ignored
