* }
*/
const item = {
// product id, in Shogun Frontend CMS that is `product.id`
id: 124810,
quantity: 1,
// optionSelections required if a product has options
optionSelections: [{ optionId: 12, optionValue: 120 }],

JavaScript

/**
* Retrieve inventory data directly from the platform API
* This hook accepts an array of IDs
* The hook will retrieve the inventory data on the given product IDs
* Optionally, an interval (in milliseconds) can be passed to automatically refresh the data after the given interval

* products: Record<id, { availableForSale: boolean, quantity: number, minOrder: number, maxOrder: number, price: number }>
* status: 'initial' | 'loading' | 'loaded' | 'error'
* }
*/
import { useInventory } from 'frontend-checkout'

const id = 124810

// By passing an id and product type, useInventory will fetch the data for given ids
// Note that ids will always expect an array of IDs whether you wish to retrieve the data
// For a single product or multiple products.

// To retrieve data for a single product, pass the ID as a single element array
const { products, status } = useInventory({ ids: [id], productType: 'Product' })

// By passing an id and product type, useInventory will fetch the data for given ids
const { products, status } = useInventory({ ids: [id], productType: 'Product' })
// minOrder and maxOrder comes from Shogun Frontend CMS and
// it will only be updated after building and publishing the store
const { availableForSale, quantity, minOrder, maxOrder, price } = products[id] || {}

// To retrieve the inventory data for multiple products, pass the IDs as an array
// Note that in this case you must ensure that all IDs are of the same product type
// When passing multiple IDs, they cannot be of a mixed product type
// Retrieving the inventory data for an array of products can be useful when used in collection pages
const ids = [124810, 224812]
const { products, status } = useInventory({ ids, productType: 'Product' })

ids.forEach(productKey => {
const { availableForSale, quantity, minOrder, maxOrder, price } = products[productKey] || {}
})

// A custom interval (in milliseconds) can be passed
const { products, status } = useInventory({ ids: [ id ], productType: 'Product', interval: 5000 })
const { availableForSale, quantity, minOrder, maxOrder, price } = products[id] || {}
