Shopify SDK Patterns

Overview

Production-ready patterns for the @shopify/shopify-api library: singleton clients, typed GraphQL operations, session management, cursor-based pagination, codegen-typed operations, bulk operations, and webhook registry patterns.

Prerequisites

• @shopify/shopify-api v9+ installed
• Familiarity with Shopify's GraphQL Admin API
• Understanding of async/await and TypeScript generics

Instructions

Step 1: Typed GraphQL Client Wrapper

Initialize a singleton shopifyApi instance with LATEST_API_VERSION, cache sessions per shop, and expose a typed shopifyQuery<T>() helper that wraps client.request().

See Typed GraphQL Client for the complete implementation.
