||
In this chapter, you'll learn how to pass additional data in requests to Medusa's API Route. | ||
|
||
## Why Pass Additional Data? | ||
|
||
Some of Medusa's API Routes accept an `additional_data` parameter whose type is an object. The API Route passes the `additional_data` to the workflow, which in turn passes it to its hooks. | ||
|
||
This is useful when you have a link from your custom module to a commerce module, and you want to perform an additional action when a request is sent to an existing API route. | ||
|
||
For example, the [Create Product API Route](!api!/admin#products_postproducts) accepts an `additional_data` parameter. If you have a data model linked to it, you consume the `productsCreated` hook to create a record of the data model using the custom data and link it to the product. | ||
|
||

## How to Pass Additional Data | ||
|
||
### 1. Specify Validation of Additional Data | ||
|
||
Before passing custom data in the `additional_data` object parameter, you must specify validation rules for the allowed properties in the object. | ||
|
||
To do that, use the middleware route object defined in `src/api/middlewares.ts`. | ||
|
||
For example, create the file `src/api/middlewares.ts` with the following content: | ||
|
||
```ts title="src/api/middlewares.ts" | ||
import { defineMiddlewares } from "@medusajs/medusa" | ||
import { z } from "zod" | ||
|
||
export default defineMiddlewares({ | ||
routes: [ | ||
{ | ||
method: "POST", | ||
matcher: "/admin/products", | ||
additionalDataValidator: { | ||
brand: z.string().optional() | ||
} | ||
} | ||
] | ||
}) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The middleware route object accepts an optional parameter `additionalDataValidator` whose value is an object of key-value pairs. The keys indicate the name of accepted properties in the `additional_data` parameter, and the value is [Zod](https://zod.dev/) validation rules of the property. | ||
|
||
In this example, you indicate that the `additional_data` parameter accepts a `brand` property whose value is an optional string. | ||
|
||
<Note> | ||
|
||
Refer to [Zod's documentation](https://zod.dev) for all available validation rules. | ||
|
||
</Note> | ||
|
||
### 2. Pass the Additional Data in a Request | ||
|
||
You can now pass a `brand` property in the `additional_data` parameter of a request to the Create Product API Route. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9000/admin/products' \ | ||
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ | ||
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \ | ||
--data '{ | ||
"title": "Product 1", | ||
"additional_data": { | ||
"brand": "Acme" | ||
} | ||
}' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
<Note title="Tip"> | ||
|
||
Make sure to replace the `{token}` in the authorization header with an admin user's authentication token. | ||
|
||
</Note> | ||
|
||
In this request, you pass in the `additional_data` parameter a `brand` property and set its value to `Acme`. | ||
|
||
The `additional_data` is then passed to hooks in the `createProductsWorkflow` used by the API route. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
## Use Additional Data in a Hook | ||
|
||
<Note> | ||
|
||
Learn about workflow hooks in [this guide](../../workflows/workflow-hooks/page.mdx). | ||
|
||
</Note> | ||
|
||
Step functions consuming the workflow hook can access the `additional_data` in the first parameter. | ||
|
||
For example, consider you want to store the data passed in `additional_data` in the product's `metadata` property. | ||
|
||
To do that, create the file `src/workflows/hooks/product-created.ts` with the following content: | ||
|
||
```ts title="src/workflows/hooks/product-created.ts" | ||
import { StepResponse } from "@medusajs/workflows-sdk" | ||
import { createProductsWorkflow } from "@medusajs/core-flows" | ||
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/utils" | ||
|
||
createProductsWorkflow.hooks.productsCreated( | ||
async ({ products, additional_data }, { container }) => { | ||
if (!additional_data.brand) { | ||
return | ||
} | ||
|
||
const productModuleService = container.resolve( | ||
Modules.PRODUCT | ||
) | ||
|
||
await productModuleService.upsertProducts( | ||
products.map((product) => ({ | ||
...product, | ||
metadata: { | ||
...product.metadata, | ||
brand: additional_data.brand | ||
} | ||
})) | ||
) | ||
|
||
return new StepResponse(products, { | ||
products, | ||
additional_data | ||
}) | ||
} | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This consumes the `productsCreated` hook, which runs after the products are created. | ||
|
||
If `brand` is passed in `additional_data`, you resolve the Product Module's main service and use its `upsertProducts` method to update the products, adding the brand to the `metadata` property. | ||
|
||
### Compensation Function | ||
|
||
Hooks also accept a compensation function as a second parameter to undo the actions made by the step function. | ||
|
||
For example, pass the following second parameter to the `productsCreated` hook: | ||
|
||
```ts title="src/workflows/hooks/product-created.ts" | ||
createProductsWorkflow.hooks.productsCreated( | ||
async ({ products, additional_data }, { container }) => { | ||
// ... | ||
}, | ||
async ({ products, additional_data }, { container }) => { | ||
if (!additional_data.brand) { | ||
return | ||
} | ||
|
||
const productModuleService = container.resolve( | ||
Modules.PRODUCT | ||
) | ||
|
||
await productModuleService.upsertProducts( | ||
products | ||
) | ||
} | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This updates the product to their original state before adding the brand to their `metadata` property. |
