Marketplace example help.

[jbeckton]

I cloned the marketplace example from the repo. Ran it locally and added an admin user via the cli. I can log into the local instance so everything seems to be functioning properly.

The part I am struggling with is there is no documentation in the repo regarding what to do next. I downloaded the yml file for Postman, hit some of the endpoints but I am at a loss as to what these endpoints do.

is there any docs out there that explain what these added endpoints do? How do I create a vendor and vendor login with them?

http://localhost:9000/auth/vendor/emailpass
sent it an email and password and got a token back.
{
"email":"[email protected]",
"password":"password"
}

http://localhost:9000/auth/vendor/emailpass/register
sent it an email and password and got a token back.
{
"email":"[email protected]",
"password":"password"
}

http://localhost:9000/vendors

sent:

{
"name": "Vendor Two",
"handle": "Vend2",
"admin": {
"email":"[email protected]",
"first_name": "Vendor2",
"last_name": "Admin"
}

}

got back a large vendor object

http://localhost:9000/vendors/products
use token from auth response and get back

{
"message": "Unauthorized"
}

After 4 days of struggling, I found a work around based on this tutorial article by Igor Khomenko. Then add this to your create-vendor-admin workflow, add a password field to the API route, zod schema and workflow.

src/workflows/marketplace/create-vendor-admin/steps/create-user.ts:

import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { createStep, StepResponse } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
import { CreateVendorAdminWorkflowInput } from ".."

const createUserStep = createStep(
  "create-user",
  async (
    { admin, authIdentityId }: CreateVendorAdminWorkflowInput,
    { container }
  ) => {
    const userModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.USER)
    const authModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.AUTH)

    const user = await userModuleService.createUsers(admin)

    await authModuleService.updateAuthIdentities({
      id: authIdentityId,
      app_metadata: {
        user_id: user.id,
      },
    })

    return new StepResponse({ user }, user.id)
  },
  async (id: string, { container }) => {
    const userModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.USER)

    await userModuleService.deleteUsers([id])
  }
)

export default createUserStep

src/workflows/marketplace/index.ts:

import {
  createWorkflow,
  WorkflowResponse,
} from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
import { setAuthAppMetadataStep } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"
import createVendorAdminStep from "./steps/create-vendor-admin"
import createUserStep from "./steps/create-user"

export type CreateVendorAdminWorkflowInput = {
  admin: {
    email: string
    password: string
    first_name?: string
    last_name?: string
    vendor_id: string
  }
  authIdentityId: string
}

const createVendorAdminWorkflow = createWorkflow(
  "create-vendor-admin",
  function (input: CreateVendorAdminWorkflowInput) {
    const vendorAdmin = createVendorAdminStep({
      admin: input.admin,
    })

    createUserStep(input)

    setAuthAppMetadataStep({
      authIdentityId: input.authIdentityId,
      actorType: "vendor",
      value: vendorAdmin.id,
    })

    return new WorkflowResponse(vendorAdmin)
  }
)

export default createVendorAdminWorkflow
