Types

Types allow you to define additional project-specific fields on resources and data types, so-called "Custom Fields."

commercetools Composable Commerce APIs provide flexible data models that cover a wide range of use cases with the standard fields on the resources and their data objects. However, you might want to add additional fields to resources and data types to better support your usage scenario.

With Types, you can model your own Custom Fields on the data types listed in here.

A Type can contain multiple FieldDefinitions, each of which defines a Custom Field.

FieldDefinition is an analog of AttributeDefinition of Product Types.

Multiple Types can be created for a single resource or data type, but a particular resource or data type can be customized with only one Type at the same time.

The value representations of Custom Fields are separately documented on the Custom Fields page.

Find a step-by-step example on how to use Types and Custom Fields in our respective tutorial.

List of customizable data types

With Types, you can model your own Custom Fields on the following resources and data types:

Type

`id` String	Unique identifier of the Type.
`version` Int	Current version of the Type.
`key` String	User-defined unique identifier of the Type. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`name` LocalizedString	Name of the Type.
`description` LocalizedString	Description of the Type.
`resourceTypeIds` Array of ResourceTypeId	Resources and/or data types for which the Type is defined.
`fieldDefinitions` Array of FieldDefinition	Defines Custom Fields.
`createdAt` DateTime	Date and time (UTC) the Type was initially created.
`createdBy`BETA CreatedBy	IDs and references that created the Type.
`lastModifiedAt` DateTime	Date and time (UTC) the Type was last updated.
`lastModifiedBy`BETA LastModifiedBy	IDs and references that last modified the Type.

TypeDraft

`key` String	User-defined unique identifier for the Type. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`name` LocalizedString	Name of the Type.
`description` LocalizedString	Description of the Type.
`resourceTypeIds` Array of ResourceTypeId	Resources and/or data types for which the Type is defined.
`fieldDefinitions` Array of FieldDefinition	Defines Custom Fields.

TypePagedQueryResponse

PagedQueryResult with results containing an array of Types.

`limit` Int	Number of results requested.
`offset` Int	Number of elements skipped.
`count` Int	Actual number of results returned.
`total` Int	Total number of results matching the query. This number is an estimation that is not strongly consistent. This field is returned by default. For improved performance, calculating this field can be deactivated by using the query parameter `withTotal=false`. When the results are filtered with a Query Predicate, `total` is subject to a limit.
`results` Array of Type	Types matching the query.

TypeReference

Reference to a Type.

`id` String	Unique identifier of the referenced Type.
`typeId` ReferenceTypeId	`"type"` References a Type.
`obj` Type	Contains the representation of the expanded Type. Only present in responses to requests with Reference Expansion for Types.

TypeResourceIdentifier

ResourceIdentifier of a Type. Either id or key is required. If both are set, an InvalidJsonInput error is returned.

`id` String	Unique identifier of the referenced Type. Required if `key` is absent.
`key` String	User-defined unique identifier of the referenced Type. Required if `id` is absent. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `256`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`typeId` ReferenceTypeId	`"type"` References a Type.

ResourceTypeId

IDs indicating the customizable resources and data types.

address: Address on BusinessUnit, Cart, Order, OrderEdit, Customer, and Channel
asset: Asset on Category and ProductVariant
approval-flow: ApprovalFlow
associate-role: AssociateRole
business-unit: BusinessUnit
cart-discount: CartDiscount
category: Category
channel: Channel
customer: Customer
customer-group: CustomerGroup
custom-line-item: CustomLineItem on Cart and Order
discount-code: DiscountCode
inventory-entry: InventoryEntry
line-item: LineItem on Cart and Order, and LineItem on ShoppingList
order: Cart and Order. When a Cart is ordered, the CustomFields need to be copied to the Order. For this reason, the Types for Carts are also valid for Orders, and hence both have the same identifier: order.
order-edit: OrderEdit
order-delivery: Delivery
order-parcel: Parcel
order-return-item: ReturnItem
payment: Payment
payment-interface-interaction: InterfaceInteraction on Payment
product-price: Embedded Price on ProductVariant
product-selection: ProductSelection
quote: Quote, QuoteRequest and StagedQuote. When a StagedQuote is created, the CustomFields will be copied from the QuoteRequest and when a Quote is created, the CustomFields will be copied from the StagedQuote. For this reason, the Types for Quotes are also valid for QuoteRequests and StagedQuotes, and hence all have the same identifier: quote.
review: Review
shipping: Shipping
shipping-method: ShippingMethod
shopping-list: ShoppingList
shopping-list-text-line-item: TextLineItem on ShoppingList
standalone-price: StandalonePrice
store: Store
transaction: Transaction on Payment

FieldDefinition

Defines a Custom Field and its meta-information. This FieldDefinition is similar to an AttributeDefinition of Product Types.

`type` FieldType	Data type of the Custom Field to define.
`name` String	Name of the Custom Field to define. Must be unique for a given ResourceTypeId. In case there is a FieldDefinition with the same `name` in another Type, both FieldDefinitions must have the same `type`. MinLength: `2`MaxLength: `36`Pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$`
`label` LocalizedString	A human-readable label for the field.
`required` Boolean	Defines whether the field is required to have a value.
`inputHint` TypeTextInputHint	Defines the visual representation of the field in user interfaces like the Merchant Center. It is only relevant for string-based FieldTypes like CustomFieldStringType and CustomFieldLocalizedStringType. Default: `SingleLine`

TextInputHint

Provides a visual representation type for this field. It is only relevant for string-based field types like CustomFieldStringType and CustomFieldLocalizedStringType. Following values are supported:

SingleLine: Hint for GUIs to display the field's content in a single line of text.
MultiLine: Hint for GUIs to display the field's content over multiple lines of text.

Example: json

{
  "action": "changeKey",

  "action": "changeName",
  "name": {
    "en": "NameDE",
    "de": "NameEN"
  }

Set Description

`action` String	`"setDescription"`
`description` LocalizedString	Value to set. If empty, any existing value will be removed.

Example: json

{
  "action": "setDescription",
  "description": {
    "de": "DescriptionDE",
    "en": "DescriptionEN"
  }
}

Add FieldDefinition

Defines a new field for a Type. Adding new required fields to a Type that is already referenced by existing entities can put those entities in a temporarily inconsistent state.

If a Type that is already in use requires new fields, we recommend making them optional (required set to false) whenever possible. Alternatively, any new required fields should be added one at a time followed by an update to all the resources using the Type. This prevents validation errors caused by an entity missing more than one required custom field.

`action` String	`"addFieldDefinition"`
`fieldDefinition` FieldDefinition	Value to append to the array.

Example: json

{
  "action": "addFieldDefinition",
  "fieldDefinition": {
    "type": {
      "name": "LocalizedString"
    },
    "name": "fieldDefinitionName",
    "label": {
      "de": "labelDE",
      "en": "labelEN"
    },
    "required": false,
    "inputHint": "MultiLine"
  }
}

Remove FieldDefinition

`action` String	`"removeFieldDefinition"`
`fieldName` String	`name` of the FieldDefinition to remove. The removal of a FieldDefinition deletes asynchronously all Custom Fields using the FieldDefinition as well.

Example: json

{
  "action": "removeFieldDefinition",
  "fieldName": "fieldDefinitionName"
}

Change FieldDefinition Label

`action` String	`"changeLabel"`
`fieldName` String	Name of the Field Definition to update.
`label` LocalizedString	New value to set. Must not be empty.

Example: json

{
  "action": "changeLabel",
  "fieldName": "CustomTextField",
  "label": {
    "de": "NewLabelDE",
    "en": "NewLabelEN"
  }
}

Add EnumValue to FieldDefinition

Adds a value to an EnumType. This update action can be used to update an EnumType FieldDefinition and a SetType FieldDefinition of EnumType.

`action` String	`"addEnumValue"`
`fieldName` String	`name` of the Field Definition to update.
`value` CustomFieldEnumValue	Value to append to the array.

Example: json

{
  "action": "addEnumValue",
  "fieldName": "CustomENumField",
  "value": {
    "key": "NewENumKey",
    "label": "NewENumLabel"
  }
}

Add LocalizedEnumValue to FieldDefinition

Adds a value to a LocalizedEnumType. This update action can be used to update a LocalizedEnumType FieldDefinition and a SetType FieldDefinition of CustomFieldLocalizedEnumType.

`action` String	`"addLocalizedEnumValue"`
`fieldName` String	`name` of the FieldDefinition to update.
`value` CustomFieldLocalizedEnumValue	Value to append to the array.

Example: json

{
  "action": "addLocalizedEnumValue",
  "fieldName": "CustomLeNumField",
  "value": {
    "key": "NewLocalizedEnumKeyString",
    "label": {
      "en": "NewLocalizedEnumLabelEN",
      "de": "NewLocalizedEnumLabelDE"
    }
  }
}

Change the order of FieldDefinitions

`action` String	`"changeFieldDefinitionOrder"`
`fieldNames` Array of String	Must match the set of `name`s of FieldDefinitions (up to order).

Example: json

{
  "action": "changeFieldDefinitionOrder",
  "fieldNames": ["CustomENumField", "CustomLeNumField", "CustomTextField"]
}

Change the order of EnumValues

Changes the order of EnumValues in an EnumType FieldDefinition. This update action can be used to update an EnumType FieldDefinition and a SetType FieldDefinition of EnumType.
