Customer Account API / Authentication

[ghisleouf]

Hi there !

Congrats for the amazing work !
As we are working on Shopify headless integration with custom Nuxt build, I'm really interested about asking you how you plan to integrate customer account authentication and creation into your project, regarding nuxt-auth-utils.

Could you please tell us a little bit more about it ?

Thanks again.

Best regards

Hey!

I am still looking at implementing the customer account API into the module first. For now i haven't had time to really think about how i would like the implementation in the store template to be, if you have any ideas i would love to hear them though!

Best regards
Freddy

@ghisleouf I'm gonna close this ticket for now, you can reopen it anytime if you have more questions!

I think the full store template implementation will not be done within at least the next 4-6 weeks, the customer account api integration is making good progress though

Hey @freb97

Can you tell me, what the progress on the customer account api is?
I was thinking about supporting the development, but there is no active branch yet.

Hey @Syrex-o! I would love to have some help on this so if you want, feel free to start a branch to work on it!

What i did in the last few months was working towards a custom API client, which is now in use for the storefront and admin APIs. Before the module was using @shopify/storefront-api-client and @shopify/admin-api-client, but there is no client for the customer account API from shopify itself, so the module was refactored to only use the @shopify/graphql-client package and augment the client typescript types.

So from this standpoint, everything is ready to start integrating the customer account API. I can create a branch for you because there are some more changes that need to be merged first because of some missing types exports.

That would be nice.

I thought there was already progress on this, as you mentioned it in this issue before :)

Well, sort of, i prepared many things but unfortunately never found the time to actually implement it 😁
I thought maybe over the holidays but it would of course also be nice to share some of the work

I'll call the branch feat/customer-account-api

Hey guys ! Thanks for the repo and the work !

If you use the Customer Account API you can maybe also plug the nuxt auth utils to manage session ?
