Shopify JavaScript Buy SDK
Note: For help with migrating from v0 of JS Buy SDK to v1 check out the
Migration Guide.
The JS Buy SDK is a lightweight library that allows you to build ecommerce into
any website. It's based on Shopify's Storefront API
and provides the ability to retrieve products and collections from your shop, add products to a cart, and checkout.

Installation
With Yarn:
$ yarn add shopify-buy
With NPM:
$ npm install shopify-buy
CDN:
There is a minified UMD build available via CDN (see the Changelog for details about the latest release):
<script src="http://sdks.shopifycdn.com/js-buy-sdk/v2/latest/index.umd.min.js"></script>
You can also use a specific release version:
<script src="https://sdks.shopifycdn.com/js-buy-sdk/1.11.0/index.umd.min.js"></script>
You can also fetch the unoptimized release for a version (2.0.1 and above). This will be larger than the optimized version, as it will contain all fields that are available in the Storefront API:
<script src="https://sdks.shopifycdn.com/js-buy-sdk/2.0.1/index.unoptimized.umd.min.js"></script>
Builds
The JS Buy SDK has four build versions: ES, CommonJS, AMD, and UMD.
ES, CommonJS:
import Client from 'shopify-buy';
AMD:
import Client from 'shopify-buy/index.amd';
UMD:
import Client from 'shopify-buy/index.umd';
UMD Unoptimized:
This will be larger than the optimized version, as it will contain all fields that are available in the Storefront API. This should only be used when you need to add custom queries to supplement the JS Buy SDK queries.
import Client from 'shopify-buy/index.unoptimized.umd';

});
Fetching Collections

const lineItemsToAdd = [
{
variantId: 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0VmFyaWFudC8yOTEwNjAyMjc5Mg==',
quantity: 5,
customAttributes: [{key: "MyKey", value: "MyValue"}]
}
];
client.checkout.addLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemsToAdd).then((checkout) => {
console.log(checkout.lineItems);
});
Updating checkout attributes
const checkoutId = 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9DaGVja291dC9kMTZmM2EzMDM4Yjc4N=';

client.checkout.updateAttributes(checkoutId, input).then((checkout) => {
});
Updating Line Items
const checkoutId = 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0SW1hZ2UvMTgyMTc3ODc1OTI=';
const lineItemsToUpdate = [
{id: 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0Lzc4NTc5ODkzODQ=', quantity: 2}
];
client.checkout.updateLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemsToUpdate).then((checkout) => {
console.log(checkout.lineItems);
});
Removing Line Items
const checkoutId = 'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0SW1hZ2UvMTgyMTc3ODc1OTI=';
const lineItemIdsToRemove = [
'Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9Qcm9kdWN0Lzc4NTc5ODkzODQ='
];
client.checkout.removeLineItems(checkoutId, lineItemIdsToRemove).then((checkout) => {
console.log(checkout.lineItems);
});
Fetching a Checkout
const checkoutId = '2U4NWNkYzI4ZWEyOTdlOD9rZXk9MDVjMzY3Zjk3YWM0YWJjNGRhMTkwMDgwYTUzOGJmYmI='
client.checkout.fetch(checkoutId).then((checkout) => {
console.log(checkout);
});
Adding a Discount

Expanding the SDK
Not all fields that are available on the Storefront API are exposed through the SDK. If you use the unoptimized version of the SDK, you can easily build your own queries. In order to do this, use the UMD Unoptimized build.
Initializing the Client
import Client from 'shopify-buy/index.unoptimized.umd';
const client = Client.buildClient({
domain: 'your-shop-name.myshopify.com',
storefrontAccessToken: 'your-storefront-access-token'
});
Fetching Products
const productsQuery = client.graphQLClient.query((root) => {
root.addConnection('products', {args: {first: 10}}, (product) => {
product.add('title');
product.add('tags');
});
});
client.graphQLClient.send(productsQuery).then(({model, data}) => {
console.log(model);
});
