Commerce Layer Demo Store types

This package contains all types used by the Demo Store.

You can install it and use them to build your own Demo Store data and configuration files.

To build Demo Store data you'll probably need to write a script that converts data from your source to the Demo Store data format.

By using this package, that operation will be much easier to do and error-proof.

Create data

The Demo Store data are composed of a set of 8 JSON files usually located at /data/json.

• catalogs.json

  writeFileSync(
    'catalogs.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataCatalog[])
  )

• countries.json

  writeFileSync(
    'countries.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataCountry[])
  )

• languages.json

  writeFileSync(
    'languages.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataLanguage[])
  )

• organization.json

  writeFileSync(
    'organization.json',
    JSON.stringify({ ... } satisfies RawDataOrganization)
  )

• pages.json

  writeFileSync(
    'pages.json',
    JSON.stringify({
      '/': {
        'en': { ... }
      }
    } satisfies RawDataPages)
  )

• products.json

  writeFileSync(
    'products.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataProduct[])
  )

• taxonomies.json

  writeFileSync(
    'taxonomies.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataTaxonomy[])
  )

• taxons.json

  writeFileSync(
    'taxons.json',
    JSON.stringify([{ ... }] satisfies RawDataTaxon[])
  )

Test data

This package is shipped with built-in tests.

You can use it inside a JavaScript file like so:

//= runTestData.js

const { testJsonData } = require('@commercelayer/demo-store-types/dist/test')

testJsonData('./data/json/')

node runTestData.js

Example

Here below you can find a working example with Node.js 18 that converts a list of products coming from an external service, to the Demo Store products.json.

Setup a new project from scratch:

mkdir demo
cd demo
npm init -y
npm install typescript @types/node tsm @commercelayer/demo-store-types

Create a new file index.ts:

//= index.ts

import type { RawDataProduct } from '@commercelayer/demo-store-types'
import { writeFile } from 'fs/promises'

(async () => {

  // this represent a list of products taken from an external source
  const remoteProducts: any[] = await fetch('https://run.mocky.io/v3/57f0a452-eae1-4f67-8a33-e4119e73c2db')
    .then(response => response.json())

  const demoStoreProducts: RawDataProduct[] = remoteProducts.map(
    ({ code, name, description, image_url }) => ({
      productCode: code.substring(0, 8),
      variantCode: code.substring(0, 8 + 6),
      sku: code,
      slug: `/${name.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W]+/g, '-').replace(/^-|-$/g, '')}/${code}`,
      name: {
        en: name.replace(/\s\(.*\)$/, '')
      },
      description: {
        en: description
      },
      images: [
        image_url
      ]
    }) satisfies RawDataProduct
  )

  await writeFile('products.json', JSON.stringify(demoStoreProducts, undefined, 2))

  console.log(demoStoreProducts)

})()

Just run:

node -r tsm index.ts
