Business configuration

Adobe Commerce App Management is for Beta users only and is not yet accessible to all customers.

Based on the businessConfig schema that you defined in the app.commerce.config, the configuration library generates the runtime actions that the App Management UI uses to render a configuration form with no custom code required.

See the Configure your project topic for more information about initializing the configuration library to generate the required runtime actions, and project structure.

Example

The following example shows a complete configuration schema with various field types:

import { defineConfig } from "@adobe/aio-commerce-lib-app/config"

export default defineConfig({
  businessConfig: {
    schema: [
      {
        name: "api-name",
        label: "API name",
        type: "text",
        default: "",
      },
      {
        name: "api-endpoint",
        label: "API Endpoint",
        type: "url",
        default: "https://api.example.com",
      },
      {
        name: "api-key",
        label: "API Key",
        type: "password",
      },
      {
        name: "level",
        label: "Risk Level",
        type: "list",
        options: [
          { label: "Low", value: "low" },
          { label: "Medium", value: "medium" },
          { label: "High", value: "high" },
        ],
        default: "medium",
        selectionMode: "single",
      },
    ],
  },
});

      {

        label: "API Endpoint",
        type: "url",
        default: "https://api.example.com",
      },
      {
        name: "api-key",
        label: "API Key",
        type: "password",
      },
      {
        name: "level",
        label: "Risk Level",
        type: "list",
        options: [
          { label: "Low", value: "low" },
          { label: "Medium", value: "medium" },
          { label: "High", value: "high" },
        ],
        default: "medium",
        selectionMode: "single",
      },
    ],
  },
});

Renderized schema

Schema properties

This businessConfig schema contains the following properties:

Property	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Unique field identifier. Used to retrieve values at runtime.
`label`	string	Yes	Display label of a configuration field.
`type`	string	Yes	Field type. See Supported types.
`default`	varies	No	Default value. Must match the field type.
`description`	string	No	Help text displayed below the field.
`options`	array	Conditional	Required for `list`. Defines available options to be displayed in the dropdown list.
`selectionMode`	string	Conditional	Required for `list`. Values can be `single` or `multiple`. The type of selection that is allowed in the schema.

Supported field types

The following field types are available for your businessConfig schema:

Field type	Type	Description
`text`	string	Single-line text input
`password`	string	Masked input for sensitive values like API keys and tokens. Run schema validation to ensure that the encryption key is correctly generated
`email`	string	Email address input with validation
`tel`	string	Phone number input with format validation
`url`	string	URL input with validation
`list`	string	Dropdown with preconfigured options

Validate your schema

Run validation before deploying:

npx @adobe/commerce-lib-config validate schema
Copied to your clipboard
npx @adobe/commerce-lib-config validate schema

This will only function properly if @adobe/aio-commerce-lib-config is installed and included in your package.json file.

Validation checks that your configuration matches the expected schema. Common errors include:

Type mismatches. A text field with a number default
Missing properties. Fields must have name, label, and type

The encryption key is automatically generated if your schema contains password fields and encryption is not yet configured.

By default, schema validation runs automatically during aio app build through the pre-app-build hook configured by the library.

Retrieve configuration at runtime

Use getConfigurationByKey from the configuration library to access configuration values in your runtime actions:

import { getConfigurationByKey, byCodeAndLevel } from "@adobe/aio-commerce-lib-config";

async function main(params) {
  const storeCode = params.store_code || "default";
  const storeLevel = params.store_level || "store_view";

  // Use values in your app logic
  const { config: { value: endpoint } } = await getConfigurationByKey("api-endpoint", byCodeAndLevel(storeCode, storeLevel));
  const { config: { value: apiKey } } = await getConfigurationByKey("api-key", byCodeAndLevel(storeCode, storeLevel));
}
Copied to your clipboard
import { getConfigurationByKey, byCodeAndLevel } from "@adobe/aio-commerce-lib-config";

async function main(params) {
  const storeCode = params.store_code || "default";
  const storeLevel = params.store_level || "store_view";

  // Use values in your app logic
  const { config: { value: endpoint } } = await getConfigurationByKey("api-endpoint", byCodeAndLevel(storeCode, storeLevel));
  const { config: { value: apiKey } } = await getConfigurationByKey("api-key", byCodeAndLevel(storeCode, storeLevel));
}
