• Added store/order/transaction/created and store/order/transaction/updated webhook events. Please note that if your application uses the store/order/* scope to create webhooks, it will start receiving this event and should be prepared to respond with a 200 status code. See Handling callbacks for more details.

• Created Widget Builder Guide for the newly-released Widget Builder development tool.

• Updates to the Tools and Resources page and the API Docs' Building Apps section's Quick Start, Guide, and Build a Next.js Sample App tutorial reflect continuing support for app developers.

• Introducing Widget Builder

• The Add to Cart URLs example now uses promises to demonstrate using JavaScript to make serial requests to a single endpoint.

• The Add Consignments to Checkout endpoint now reflects limits to the number of line items a consignment can contain.

This change is being made in order to support storefronts which may have more than 50,000 URLs, which is the limit of URLs-per-sitemap defined by the sitemap specification.

However, there are other benefits to using a sitemap index, as it may provide better visibility into the indexing status of your sitemaps in tools such as Google Webmaster Tools.

Using this capability, you can fetch data a little bit more flexibly to build your themes.

Here’s an example of using a GraphQL query in Front Matter to fetch metafields in product.html:

---
product:
   videos:
       limit: {{theme_settings.productpage_videos_count}}
   reviews:
       limit: {{theme_settings.productpage_reviews_count}}
   related_products:
       limit: {{theme_settings.productpage_related_products_count}}
   similar_by_views:
       limit: {{theme_settings.productpage_similar_by_views_count}}
gql: "query productMetafieldsById($productId: Int!) {
  site {
    product(entityId: $productId) {
      metafields(namespace: \"my-namespace\") {
        edges {
          node {
            key
            value
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
"

More information on how to use this new storefront capability is available here: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/stencil-docs/reference-docs/front-matter-reference#graphql-attributes

This will allow you to have a more realistic preview of what theme changes will look like in conjunction with any Page Builder content, before you publish your theme.

To update to the latest version of stencil-cli, simply run:

npm i -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli

Consider this query:

query CategoryByUrl {
  site {
    route(path: "/shop-all") {
      node {
        __typename
        id
        ... on Category {
          name
          products(first: 20, sortBy: DEFAULT) {
            # Use sortBy parameter to use any of the available storefront sorts
            edges {
              node {
                name
                defaultImage {
                  url(width: 360)
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

mutation Login($email: String!, $pass: String!) {
  login(email: $email, password: $pass) {
    result
    customer {
      entityId
      firstName
      lastName
      email
      storeCredit {
        value
        currencyCode
      }
      attributes {
        attribute(entityId: 123) {
          name
          value
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
