# AdminProductTypesResource

This class is used to send requests to [Admin Product Type API Routes](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin#product-types). All its method
are available in the JS Client under the `medusa.admin.productTypes` property.

All methods in this class require [user authentication](js_client.AdminAuthResource.mdx#createsession).

Product types are string values created when you create or update a product with a new type.
Products can have one type, and products can share types. This allows admins to associate products with a type that can be used to filter products.

## Methods

### list

Retrieve a list of product types. The product types can be filtered by fields such as `q` or `value` passed in the `query` parameter.
The product types can also be sorted or paginated.

#### Example

To list product types:

```ts
import Medusa from "@medusajs/medusa-js"
const medusa = new Medusa({ baseUrl: MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL, maxRetries: 3 })
// must be previously logged in or use api token
medusa.admin.productTypes.list()
.then(({ product_types }) => {
  console.log(product_types.length);
})
```

By default, only the first `20` records are retrieved. You can control pagination by specifying the `limit` and `offset` properties:

```ts
import Medusa from "@medusajs/medusa-js"
const medusa = new Medusa({ baseUrl: MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL, maxRetries: 3 })
// must be previously logged in or use api token
medusa.admin.productTypes.list({
  limit,
  offset
})
.then(({ product_types }) => {
  console.log(product_types.length);
})
```
