Readme
This plugin is used to source product data from builder.io and the checkout API.
How To publish:
npm publish --access=public
How this works:
On build:
- query all the productPage pages that exist
- query the product selector for each productPage
- get the list of references to ProductVariant
- fetch product data from the checkout API for each ProductVariant
- merge the checkout API data with the builder data to generate a
productPageData
node with the following shape:
{
id: "",
path: "",
productSelector: {
onetime: {
products: [],
discounts: []
},
subscription: {
products: [],
discounts: []
}
}
}
The productPage page template should have a single page query that queries productPageData where path = '$path' to get all the product data for that specific productPage.
We aren't querying allBuilderModels since they don't include refs so instead we query our own data type 'productPageData'
Improvement opportunities:
- use gatsby cache to cache requests in gatsby-node.js to improve build times
- create graphql fragments to simplify page queries
- create a distinction between otp and subs products in builder.io
- do a single request to the checkout API in sourceNodes per page rather than a request per product (checkoutSDK can query a list of products)
