Builder.io Plugin Tools

Easily connect your custom data sources and ecommerce backends to your Builder.io content!

This package's main exports are registerCommercePlugin and registerDataPlugin, which allow you to define what your ecommerce backend or data API needs (e.g., apiToken, password, environment), prompt Builder.io users for those settings, and register multiple field types per resource that allow for easy embedding and custom targeting for each resource (products, collections, personas, etc.) in your store or data source.

For real-world examples, check the @builder.io/ecom-swell-is and @builder.io/plugin-contentful folders.

API

registerCommercePlugin(config, settingsCallback)

Registers a commerce plugin with Builder.io.

export declare const registerCommercePlugin: (
  config: CommercePluginConfig,
  apiOperationsFromSettings: (
    settings: any
  ) => CommerceAPIOperations | Promise<CommerceAPIOperations>
) => Promise<void>;

• config: An object containing the plugin's name, ID, settings, and CTA text.
• settingsCallback: A function that receives the user-provided settings and returns an object with methods for querying and transforming product data.

registerDataPlugin(config, settingsCallback)

Registers a data plugin with Builder.io.

export declare const registerDataPlugin: (
  config: DataPluginOptions,
  apiOperationsFromSettings: (settings: any) => APIOperations | Promise<APIOperations>
) => Promise<void>;

• config: An object containing the plugin's name, ID, settings, and CTA text.
• settingsCallback: An asynchronous function that receives the user-provided settings and returns an object with methods for querying and transforming data from the external API.

Both registerCommercePlugin and registerDataPlugin allow you to define the required settings for connecting to your backend, prompt users for these settings, and register various resources and their corresponding field types for easy integration with Builder.io content.
