FastStore Release Notes - March 2022

FastStore UI

Dropdown

• 🎉 New Dropdown molecule - #1178
  Use the Dropdown component as an options menu or a dropdown select.

FastStore SDK

setSession function

• 🐛 Fixed setSession function type - #1172
  Now the ContextValue of the setSession function receives a session: Partial<Session> argument. With the fix, it's possible to pass partial information of a session. For example:

const { setSession } = useSession()
setSession({ postalCode: 'foo' })

• ✨ Improve the performance of useStorage hook - #1186
  The setTimeout function was created to prevent the creation of tasks that take longer than 50ms to process. The function improves the performance of the useStorage hook by wrapping two of its tasks: the async promise and the set state of an item.

• ✨ Add setFacets function to the search context - #1189
  The setFacets function sets all selected facets without any processing, allowing full control of the selected facets.

FastStore API

VTEX Platform

• 🐛 Added missing totalCount field to pageInfo in allCollections query - #1173
  Now the resolver for the allCollections query returns the number of valid collections in the store when a user asks for pageInfo.totalCount field.

• 🎉 New Session query - #1176
  The Session query returns only the channel and country values. The addition of this query enables VTEX regionalization, which requires the regionId located within the channel.

• 🎉 Add local server and GraphQL tests - #1179
  The @faststore/api package now comes with an Express GraphQL Server setup allowing you to test the API without having to link the package to a store.

• ✨ hideUnavaibleitems parameter in the search API - #1180
  The Search API now has a parameter called hideUnavailableItems. This parameter either hides (true) or displays (false) an out-of-stock product.

• 🐛 Removed frontend computation to the backend - #1184
  Offers are now sorted according to the order of the offers array.

• ✨ Returning null as profile - #1190
  Now the API returns null for the person query when executed by an anonymous user, avoiding a mismatch with the default user session values, preventing the session of the anonymous user from being reset, and lowering the Total Blocking Time (TBT) metric.

Documentation

• 📑 Added VTEX Headless CMS API Reference - #1194
  The vtex.admin-releases@0.x app was added to Step 2 - Installing the Headless CMS app on your VTEX account. The app is one of the VTEX Headless CMS's required apps.

Internal

• 🐛 Fixed codebase typos - #1183
