Migration Guide: @moltin/sdk to @elasticpath/js-sdk

Background and rationale

The Elastic Path Commerce Cloud JavaScript SDK has been migrated from @moltin/sdk to @elasticpath/js-sdk. This was an overdue change, and will allow us to consolidate our version control usage behind the @elasticpath namespace.

We are also taking this opportunity to entirely remove legacy naming (moltin) from the codebase to avoid confusion.

Key Changes

  • Package Name: The package name has changed from @moltin/sdk to @elasticpath/js-sdk.
  • GitHub Repository: The GitHub repository has moved from moltin/js-sdk to elasticpath/js-sdk.

Note

We are aligning the package name with the repository name, i.e. js-sdk, rather than just sdk. We are reserving the sdk name for future use.

Installation

Old Package Installation

npm install --save @moltin/sdk

New Package Installation

Replace the old package with the new one:

npm install --save @elasticpath/js-sdk

Example Usage

Importing the SDK

Old Usage

import { gateway as MoltinGateway } from '@moltin/sdk'

const Moltin = MoltinGateway({
  client_id: 'XXX'
})

New Usage

import { gateway as ElasticPathGateway } from '@elasticpath/js-sdk'

const ElasticPath = ElasticPathGateway({
  client_id: 'XXX'
})

Migration

  1. Change the import path: Update all occurrences of @moltin/sdk to @elasticpath/js-sdk.
  2. Rename the import alias: If you are using MoltinGateway, change it to ElasticPathGateway (or a name of your choice).
  3. Update instance names: Rename any instances of Moltin to ElasticPath to maintain consistency and clarity in your codebase.

If you are directly accessing any of the state the SDK persists in localStorage or cookies, update your references like so:

  • mcart becomes epcart
  • mcurrency becomes epcurrency
  • moltinCredentials becomes epCredentials

Caution

Accessing this SDK state directly is not recommended

The compiled SDK and types published in /dist as moltin.cjs.js, moltin.d.ts, moltin.esm.js, and moltin.js are now published as index
