SuiteCommerce Shopping Object

When working in SuiteCommerce, there are a variety of methods to use to access data in the shopping context provided by the commerce API.

The shopping session object is retrieved from the Models.Init.js file found in the source code under Commons > SspLibraries > SuiteScript.

Things to Know When Working With the Shopping Object

• To access this object, you must import ‘SC.Models.Init’. The shopping object is defined in a “session” variable.
• See line 45 of the example below for method call

var addOnItems = ModelsInit.session.getItemFieldValues('addonitems', addOnItemIds).items;

• The first parameter passed into the function is the field set id. “addOnItemIds” is an array of items.
• Items can be accessed by the “items” attribute returned in the object from getItemFieldValues().

SuiteCommerce Shopping Object Example Code

define('AddOnItems.Model',
    [
        'SC.Model',
        'SC.Models.Init',
        'underscore'
    ],
    function (
        SCModel,
        ModelsInit,
        _
    ) {


        'use strict';


        return SCModel.extend({


            name: 'AddOnItems.Model',


            getAddOnItems: function (data) {


                var returnObj = {};


                try {
                    var columns = _.pluck(data.addOnItemsConfig, 'fieldId'),


                        fieldValues = nlapiLookupField('item', data.itemId, columns),


                        addOnItemIds = [];
                        
                    addOnItemsConfig = _.map(data.addOnItemsConfig, function (configType) {


                        var field_value = fieldValues[configType.fieldId];


                        configType.itemIds = field_value ? field_value.split(',') : [];


                        addOnItemIds = _.union(configType.itemIds, addOnItemIds);


                        return configType;
                    });


                    addOnItemIds = _.uniq(addOnItemIds);


                    if (addOnItemIds.length) {


                        var addOnItems = ModelsInit.session.getItemFieldValues('addonitems', addOnItemIds).items;


                    }
                }
                catch (e) {
                    returnObj.error = e;
                }


                return returnObj;
            }
        });
    }
);
