ResourcePicker

The ResourcePicker action set provides a search-based interface to help merchants find and select one or more products, collections, or product variants, and then returns the selected resources to your app.

Setup

Create an app and import the ResourcePicker module from @shopify/app-bridge/actions. Note that we'll be referring to this sample application throughout the examples below.

import createApp from '@shopify/app-bridge';
import {ResourcePicker} from '@shopify/app-bridge/actions';

const app = createApp({
  apiKey: '12345',
  shopOrigin: shopOrigin,
});

Create a product picker

const productPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Product,
});

Create a product variant picker

const variantPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.ProductVariant,
});

Create a collection picker

const collectionPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Collection,
});

Picker selection and cancellation

Resource pickers have two main actions that you can subscribe to:

ResourcePicker.Action.CANCEL - App Bridge dispatches this action when the user cancels the resource picker, without making a selection.
ResourcePicker.Action.SELECT - App Bridge dispatches this action after the user confirms a selection. This action provides a SelectPayload: an Object with id and selection keys. The selection key is an array of all the selected resources.

const picker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Product,
});

picker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.CANCEL, () => {
  // Picker was cancelled
});

picker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.SELECT, (selectPayload) => {
  const selection = selectPayload.selection;
  // Do something with `selection`
});

Options

initialQuery

default value: undefined
optional
type: string
note: Prepopulates the search bar of the resource picker.

initialSelectionIds

default value: []
optional
type: Resource[]
note: initialSelectionIds takes an array of minimal resource objects, which only need to contain a resource id (in GraphQL ID format, ie 'gid://shopify/Product/1'). Product resources may also contain selected variants. If no variants are specified, all variants will be selected.

const productWithSpecificVariantsSelected = {
  id: 'gid://Shopify/Product/12345',
  variants: [{
    id: 'gid://Shopify/ProductVariant/1',
  }],
};

const productWithAllVariantsSelected = {
  id: 'gid://Shopify/Product/67890',
};

const productPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Product,
  options: {
    initialSelectionIds: [productWithVariantsSelected, productWithAllVariantsSelected],
  },
});

actionVerb

default value: ResourcePicker.ActionVerb.Add
optional
type: ResourcePicker.ActionVerb (values: Add, Select)
note: The actionVerb appears in the title <actionVerb> <resourceType> and as the primary action of the resource picker.

selectMultiple

default value: true
optional
type: boolean or number
note: Whether to allow selecting multiple items or not. If a number is provided, then limit the selections to a maximum of that number of items. Providing a number requires version 1.28.0.

Boolean options

Option	Default	Optional	Version	Note
`showHidden`	`true`	✔️		`hidden` refers to products that are not published on any sales channels.
`showVariants`	`true`	✔️		Only applies to the `Product` resource type picker.
`showDraft`	`true`	✔️	1.28.0	Whether to show draft products or not. Only applies to the `Product` resource type picker.
`showArchived`	`true`	✔️	1.28.0	Whether to show archived products or not. Only applies to the `Product` resource type picker.
`showDraftBadge`	`false`	✔️	1.28.0	Whether to show draft badge for draft products or not. Only works when `showDraft` prop is set, and only applies to the `Product` resource type picker.
`showArchivedBadge`	`false`	✔️	1.28.0	Whether to show archived badge for archived products or not. Only works when `showArchived` prop is set, and only applies to the `Product` resource type picker.

You can subscribe to modal actions by calling subscribe. This returns a function that you can call to unsubscribe from the action:

const productPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Product,
  options: {
    selectMultiple: true,
    showHidden: false,
  },
});

const selectUnsubscribe = productPicker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.SELECT, ({selection}) => {
  // Do something with `selection`
});

const cancelUnsubscribe = productPicker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.CANCEL, () => {
  // Picker was cancelled
});

// Unsubscribe to actions
selectUnsubscribe();
cancelUnsubscribe();

Unsubscribe

You can call unsubscribe to remove all subscriptions on the resource picker:

const productPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Product,
  options: {
    selectMultiple: true,
    showHidden: false,
  },
});

productPicker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.SELECT, () => {
  // Do something with `selection`
});

productPicker.subscribe(ResourcePicker.Action.CANCEL, () => {
  // Picker was cancelled
});

// Unsubscribe from all actions
productPicker.unsubscribe();

Dispatch actions

const collectionPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Collection,
  options: {
    selectMultiple: true
    showHidden: false,
  }
});

// Open the collection picker
collectionPicker.dispatch(ResourcePicker.Action.OPEN);

Update options

You can call the set method with partial picker options. This automatically triggers the update action on the modal and merges the given options with the existing options:

const collectionPicker = ResourcePicker.create(app, {
  resourceType: ResourcePicker.ResourceType.Collection,
  options: {
    selectMultiple: true,
    showHidden: false,
  },
});

collectionPicker.set({showHidden: true});
