Recently Shopify released a way to retrieving metafields with the Storefront API . In order to get read access to metafields from Shopify GraphQL Storefront API we have to whitelist metafields from Shopify GraphQL Admin API.

I created 2 local plugins:

  1. gatsby-source-shopify-metafields which uses graphql-request to updateMetafieldStorefrontVisibility of the exact metafield on a product. To run updateMetafieldStorefrontVisibility mutation do cd plugins/gatsby-source-shopify-metafields && node lib.js.
  2. gatsby-source-shopify it's an updated version of the default gatsby-source-shopify plugin with edited queries.js, nodes.js and gatsby-node.js files to include newly avialable metafields field.

After running updateMetafieldStorefrontVisibility I was able to query product metafields using curl:

curl -X POST \
"https://shop-name.myshopify.com/api/graphql.json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/graphql" \
-H "X-Shopify-Storefront-Access-Token: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
-d '
query {
  productByHandle(handle: "nike-air-max-720") {
    metafield(namespace: "global", key: "free_shipping") {
      value
    }
  }
}
'

Response: {"data":{"productByHandle":{"metafield":{"value":"true"}}}}

I'm expecting to get clean build, instead, I get Invariant Violation: Encountered an error trying to infer a GraphQL type

This is a pretty common error message I’ve seen when using other GraphQL endpoint plugins with Gatsby, ex. the with WordPress. Usually it means you are getting something like false back from the API when you actually need null, and/or or you built the Gatsby site in one environment that assumed some kind of data would be present and now on a new Shopify site that data isn’t there yet. In this case, maybe no “Shopify__ProductMetafields” yet? What are you seeing in the GraphiQL interface? (localhost:8000/___graphql)kennethormandy

Run gatsby clean. This is a node reference error in a cached file.
