FastStore Release Notes - October 2021

Full Changelog

Features

• 🚀 Send and receive custom events via the Analytics module #937

  We've added the UknownEvent event type to the Analytics module. This is a minimal event sent via the sendAnalyticsEvent function, which can be overwritten by other event types, such as pre-purchase interactions.

  • Check out the details on how to manage analytics events in the Analytics module documentation and the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) data model.

• 🚀 Source store plugin #944

  We've added the plugin gatsby-source-store to source products and collections into the Gatsby's GraphQL layer. This plugin replaces the gatsby-source-vtex plugin and works with the store-api GraphQL schema.

  • Learn how to install and use the gatsby-source-store plugin here.

• 🚀 Modal Molecule #957

  Use the Modal Molecule to create alert windows in your storefront.

  

• 🚀 GraphQL Code Generator #960

  We've added the GraphQL Code Generator CLI to automatically generate TypeScript typings for store-api.

• 🚀 Spinner atom #961

  Now, you can use the Spinner atom as a loading button component.

  

• 🚀 Cart component with state validation #963

We modified the Cart APIs to provide a cart with state validation. The browser now has its cart state, which is validated by the backend. The backend signalizes if the frontend should be modified or not. For example, if the browser's state is not valid, containing a product currently unavailable at your store, the backend will send the updated cart state to the frontend.

• 🚀 Storybook theme #979

  Besides adding a new logo and theme to the Store UI Storybook, we also synced the FastStore CHANGELOG.md with the Storybook Changelog.

Bug Fixes

• 🐛 Developing a store in an account without the CMS Pages module #969 - You can now develop on a store that does not have the CMS Pages module yet.

• 🐛 Synchronously reading regionId initial value #974 - The regionIDis no longer lazy loaded, avoiding it to return a null value.
