Swell Js
JS library for building storefronts and checkouts with Swell ecommerce.
Overview:
Swell.js is a headless ecommerce storefront SDK that provides a Universal JavaScript client for Swell's Frontend API. It allows developers to have client-safe access to store and customer data. This SDK can be used in various applications like JAMstack or SSR apps to perform a range of functions such as fetching products, categories, store settings, nav menus, and custom content; creating, recovering, and updating shopping carts; building custom checkout and subscription flows; authenticating customers and allowing them to edit account details, orders, and subscriptions; resolving linked content to dynamically generate page URLs; and formatting prices in the store's currency. The SDK is designed to be safe to use in any context, as it implements a subset of operations available in Swell's Backend API and is authorized with a public key + session token. It is recommended to only use the Backend API server-side and store secret keys as environment variables.

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
