I'm trying to store state between calls similar to the documentation here: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help#code-examples
However, I try to run the code from a Zap, I get:
StoreClient is not defined
The documentation states that I shouldn't have to require anything to use StoreClient: "There is no need to require it - it comes pre-imported in your Code environment."
I'm on the latest version of zapier-platform-core (8.3.0). I'm using the exact code from the example linked above.
const count = await store.get('some counter')
const newCount = (count || 0) + 1;
await store.set('some counter', count);
return {count: newCount};
David here, from the Zapier Platform team. Great question!
This is a little bit unclear based on the docs - StoreClient is only available in the Code app (aka Code by Zapier). If you're using zapier-platform-core, you're creating a cli app, which is a vanilla node.js environment. If you want to interact with Storage by Zapier from within a cli app, you can use the docs on the site: https://store.zapier.com. Namely:
{
"how does it work?": {
"always provide either `?secret=12345` or `X-Secret: 12345`": "",
"GET /api/secret": [
"will return a random secret for you to use if you need one."
],
"GET /api/records": [
"will return a full object of all values stored by default.",
"you can also specify only the keys you want via the",
"querystring like`?key=color&key=age`."
],
"POST /api/records": [
"provide a body with a json object with keys/values you want",
"to store like `{\"color\": \"blue\", \"age\": 29}`."
],
"DELETE /api/records": ["completely clear all the records in this account"],
"PATCH /api/records": [
"A data with a particular schema needs to be received.",
"The schema specifies which action to do and with what parameters.",
"For example {\"action\": \"increment_by\", \"data\": {\"key\": \"<key_name>\", \"amount\": 1}} to increment the value specified by \"key\"."
]
}
}
Requests to those endpoints can be made using the standard z.request, which is well-documented here: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/tree/master/packages/cli#making-http-requests
