The OrderCloud JavaScript SDK is a modern client library designed for building robust solutions targeting the OrderCloud eCommerce API. It significantly enhances developer productivity and reduces common errors by providing a full feature parity with the underlying API, comprehensive built-in TypeScript support, and an auto-generated API reference. The SDK operates seamlessly in both browser and Node.js environments and offers an ESM module for bundlers that support tree shaking, enabling leaner project bundles. The current stable version is 12.0.0, with minor releases occurring frequently, indicating an actively maintained project. A key differentiator is its deep integration with the OrderCloud platform, offering dedicated functionalities for authentication, advanced filtering, and impersonation. It explicitly handles `axios` as a peer dependency to prevent potential version conflicts and avoid unnecessary bundle bloat.
npm install ordercloud-javascript-sdkVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
Demonstrates how to authenticate with the OrderCloud API using a username/password flow, store the access token for subsequent API calls, and handles potential errors during the authentication process.
Always review the `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` document in the package's GitHub repository or documentation when upgrading to a new major version to understand and apply necessary code changes.
Ensure `axios` is installed in your project: `npm install axios` or `yarn add axios`.
Always use named imports (e.g., `import { Auth } from 'ordercloud-javascript-sdk';`) for ESM, or access properties on the `require`'d object (e.g., `OrderCloudSDK.Auth`) for CJS.Install `axios` using your package manager: `npm install axios` or `yarn add axios`.
For ESM, ensure you use `import { Auth } from 'ordercloud-javascript-sdk';` and then directly call `Auth.Login(...)`. For CJS, use `const OrderCloudSDK = require('ordercloud-javascript-sdk');` and then call `OrderCloudSDK.Auth.Login(...)`.
