Magento Storefront Events SDK

Overview

This package serves as the foundation for eventing on an Adobe Commerce storefront. It provides access to a common data layer, and an event publishing and subscription service.

You can handle the events in a custom implementation, or use the Magento Storefront Event Collector package that listens for events and sends them to Adobe Commerce edges for processing.

Note: When an event is published through the SDK, all subscribers to that event get notified. Defining a custom listener shouldn't preclude you from also running the Magento Storefront Event Collector.

Our context schemas are designed to simplify forwarding to two edges:

• Adobe Commerce Data Services (maintained by Adobe Engineering and used to power merchant performance dashboards)
• Adobe Experience Platform (requires a subscription and additional merchant setup; data can be used by merchants inside the Adobe Experience Platform for detailed analytics, targeted merchandising, real time customer data profiles, and more)

Installation

This SDK can be used as a hosted script, or bundled in a JavaScript application. The script version is hosted on unpkg, and the bundled version is hosted on npm.

To load the SDK as a script, use the following snippet.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@adobe/magento-storefront-events-sdk/dist/index.js"></script>

To install the script as a dependency, run this command.

npm install @adobe/magento-storefront-events-sdk

Quick Start

Once imported, you have access to the four main functions of the Events SDK.

• Context - set context data
• Publish - publish events
• Subscribe - subscribe to events
• Unsubscribe - unsubscribe from events

Below is a code example of how to get started.

IMPORTANT: Relevant context data must be populated before publishing events that require it.

import mse from "@adobe/magento-storefront-events-sdk";
// handler - can go in a different module
function addToCartHandler(event) {
    // do something with the event
}
// subscribe to events
mse.subscribe.addToCart(addToCartHandler);

// set context data
const shoppingCartContext = {
    id: "1",
    items: [
        {
            id: "shoppingCart",
            product: {
                productId: 111111,
                sku: "ts001",
                pricing: {
                    regularPrice: 20.0,
                    currencyCode: "USD",
                },
            },
            quantity: 1,
        },
    ],
};
mse.context.setShoppingCart(shoppingCartContext);

// publish events
mse.publish.addToCart();

// unsubscribe from events
mse.unsubscribe.addToCart(addToCartHandler);

API Reference

The SDK API is broken down into four major parts: Context, Publish, Subscribe, Unsubscribe.

Context

These setters can be used to specify context in the mse:

setAEP

mse.context.setAEP(aepCtx);

Sets the AEP which can be used by event handlers to forward events to the Adobe Experience Platform. A client must have an AEP subscription and provide a valid IMS Org Id and Datastream Id.

setEventForwarding

mse.context.setEventForwarding(eventForwardingCtx);

Sets the EventForwarding context. Tells a handler if it should forward events to Adobe Commerce DataSolutions (commerce: true), Adobe Experience Platform (aep: true), or both.
