OrderCloud React

This is a developer library for OrderCloud developers utilizing React for their frontend development. It is essentially a wrapper for Tanstack query, which provides a lot of good functionality out of the box for background refreshes, request de-duplication, and caching. You configure your API client settings on the OrderCloudProvider which will provide you with a global context accessible though the useOrderCloudContext() hook. In addition to this context hook, it provides "authenticated" versions of useQuery and useMutation for reading and manipulating OrderCloud data in an efficient manner.

Peer Dependencies

To keep this package small, there are some required peer dependencies that are typical of an OrderCloud React application that utilizies tanstack libraries:

- @tanstack/react-query@^5.20.1
- @tanstack/react-table@^8.11.8
- ordercloud-javascript-sdk@^5.3.0
- react@^18.2.0
- react-dom@^18.2.0

Usage

OrderCloudProvider

It is recommended that the OrderCloudProvider be configured as close to the root of your application as possible. At the very least it needs to wrap any part of your application that will need to communicate with the OrderCloud API.

$3

#### baseApiUrl: string
The OrderCloud base API URL for your marketplace. Usually found in the OrderCloud Portal.

#### clientId: string
The OrderCloud API Client ID that will be used for authentication

#### scope: string[]
An array of OrderCloud API Roles that will be requested upon authentication

#### customScope: string[]
An optional array of Custom Roles (strings) that will be requested upon authentication. Generally only needed if you are using Custom Roles in your marketplace's Security Profiles.

#### allowAnonymous: boolean
True will enable anonymous authentication (when the API client is properly configured). False will remain unauthenticated until the login() method is called by your application.

#### xpSchemas: OpenAPIV3.SchemaObject
An optional Open API specification object containing one or more xp schema definitions for OrderCloud resources. Xp schemas will be used to generate resource property definitions in the useColumns hook as well as form fields in the useOcForm hook. In the absence of a provided resource schema, xp data types will be inferred by default for individual items when using the useOcForm hook.

#### defaultErrorHandler (error:OrderCloudError) => void
An optional callback function for globally handling OrderCloud errors in your application. Useful for wiring up toast-like feedback.

#### openIdConnect object
An optional object containing configuration for single-sign-on via OpenID Connect.

$3

Set to true to activate single-sign-on via OpenIDConnect in your application. If false, all OIDC logic (such as login redirects and token handling) will be disabled, even if configs are defined.

#### openIdConnect.configs {id: string, roles?: string[], clientId: string}[]
An array of OpenID Connect configuration objects. Each defines the settings required to authenticate against a specific identity provider. At least one configuration must be provided.

#### openIdConnect.configs.[i].id string
The ID of the OpenID connect configuration that should be targeted for authentication

#### openIdConnect.configs.[i].roles string
An optional array of roles that will be requested when authenticating. If excluded, the token generated will contain any roles assigned to the user. Unless you have a specific reason for limiting roles, we recommend omitting this option.

#### openIdConnect.configs.[i].clientId string
An optional OrderCloud clientId to authenticate against. By default, will use clientId at the root of the provider settings.

#### openIdConnect.configs.[i].appStartPath string
An optional path to redirect the user to after returning from the identity provider. See here for more information

#### openIdConnect.configs.[i].customParams string
optional query parameters passed along to the AuthorizationEndpoint. See here for more information

#### openIdConnect.autoRedirect boolean
True will automatically redirect the user to the first openIdConnect config stored if the token is expired, or invalid. This is a simplified use case. For more control, or when you need to handle multiple identity providers set this to false and handle redirect on your own by calling loginWithOpenIdConnect

$3

Query parameter name where the OrderCloud access token is stored after login. For example, if AppStartUrl is https://my-application.com/login?token={0}, use token

$3

The optional query parameter name for the refresh token after login. Example: if AppStartUrl is https://my-application.com/login?token={0}&refresh={3}, use refresh

$3

The optional query parameter name for the identity provider access token after login. Example: if AppStartUrl is https://my-application.com/login?token={0}&idptoken={1}, use idptoken

useOrderCloudContext() hook

This hook returns the OrderCloud context that the OrderCloudProvider sets up based on your provided options. If anonymous authentication is allowed the OrderCloud context will automatically be in an authenticated state on first page load (shortly after the first React lifecycle).

$3

The OrderCloud context returns all of the information you configure on the OrderCloudProvider (baseApiUrl, clientId, etc.), along with some additional properties listed below.

#### isAuthenticated: boolean
When false, there is no valid OrderCloud access token available. Not to be confused with isLoggedIn.

#### isLoggedIn: boolean
When true, the currently active OrderCloud access token is a _registered_ user (not anonymous).

#### login: (username:string, password:string, rememberMe:boolean) => Promise
An asyncrhonous callback method for building a login form for your application. When rememberMe is set to true, the OrderCloudProvider will attempt to store and use the refresh_token as long as it is valid. It is not necessary to do anything with the AccessToken response as this method will take care of managing the active token and authentication state for you.

$3

A method for manually redirecting a user to the identity provider login page defined by the openIdConnectId. To use this method you must define the relevent openIdConnect properties

#### logout: () => void
A callback for logging out a registered user from your application. This will also clear the Tanstack query client cache for OrderCloud API calls, forcing any actively used queries to refetch once anonymous auth takes over again or the user logs back in.

useAuthQuery() hook

This is a wrapper for the useQuery Tanstack hook that utilizes the OrderCloud context to set enabled equal to isAuthenticated. It also checks for the presence of query.error and calls out to the supplied defaultErrorHandler if it was configured on the provider.

This hook supports all of the normal UseQueryOptions documented by Tanstack. In addition to these options, you can override the default error handler by passing a modified error handler as the second argument. Ultimately this hook will return the same UseQueryResult that is documented on Tanstack query.

$3

Here is an example of using the useAuthQuery hook to create a hook that returns the current user.
``tsx
import { Me, MeUser, OrderCloudError, RequiredDeep } from "ordercloud-javascript-sdk";
import { useAuthQuery } from "@rwatt451/ordercloud-react";
import { UseMutationResult, UseQueryResult } from "@tanstack/react-query";

export function useCurrentUser():UseQueryResult, OrderCloudError> {
return useAuthQuery({
queryKey: ["currentUser"],
queryFn: async () => await Me.Get(),
retry: false,
refetchOnMount:false,
});
}
`
Specifying the queryKey is important here as it is what controls the query client caching and de-deuplication. This allows you to use the useCurrentUser hook anywhere in your application and it will only ever be called once.

useAuthMutation() hook


This is a wrapper for the useMutation Tanstack hook that utilizes the OrderCloud context to set enabled equal to isAuthenticated - just like useAuthQuery.

This hook supports all of the normal UseMutationOptions documented by Tanstack. Because useMutation already has an option for onError, the wrapped useAuthMutation will utilize the defaultErrorHandler if configured at the provider level and a more specific onError callback hasn't been provided. This ultimately returns the same UseMutationRestult as Tanstack query.

$3


Here is an example of using the useAuthMutation hook to create a UseMutationResult for modifying the current user.
`tsx
import { Me, MeUser, OrderCloudError, RequiredDeep } from "ordercloud-javascript-sdk";
import { queryClient, useAuthMutation } from "@rwatt451/ordercloud-react";
import { UseMutationResult } from "@tanstack/react-query";

export function useMutateCurrentUser():UseMutationResult, unknown, Partial, unknown> {
return useAuthMutation({
mutationKey: ["currentUser"],
mutationFn: async (userData:Partial) => await Me.Patch(userData),
onSuccess: (data) => {
queryClient.setQueryData(["currentUser"], data)
},
})
}
`
Specifying the mutationKey is important here as it is what controls the query client caching and de-deuplication. The onSuccess option provides an avenue for updating the queryClient qury data cache. That way, any componenent that had used useCurrentUser will automatically get the updated value no matter where/when mutate() is called.

useOcResourceList() hook


Returns an OrderCloud resource list query result from the resource List operation defined on the OrderCloud OpenAPI spec. This hook supports all of the normal UseQueryOptions documented by Tanstack. Ultimately this hook will return the same UseQueryResult that is documented on Tanstack query.

Important Notes


While it is not necessary to use the actual OrderCloud SDK to communicate with the OrderCloud API, it definitely makes things easier. The isAuthenticated state is based on the returned value of SDKs Tokens.GetValidToken() method and the OrderCloud SDK Configuration object is set up using the values passed into the OrderCloudProvider. Additonally, the SDK provides typed responses which make working with useAuthQuery and useMutationQuery generics easier.

On the flip side, it is also not entirely necessary to use the wrapped Tanstack hooks. If you want to just use the normal OrderCloud SDK, just be certain that you aren't making any calls when isAuthenticated` is false. Though, in doing so you will miss out on all of the benefits that Tanstack provides.
