In this documentation, you'll learn how to install and use Medusa's JS SDK.
## What is Medusa JS SDK?
Medusa's JS SDK is a library to easily send requests to your Medusa application. You can use it in your admin customizations or custom storefronts.
---
## How to Install Medusa JS SDK?
The Medusa JS SDK is available in your Medusa application by default. So, you don't need to install it before using it in your admin customizations.
To install the Medusa JS SDK in other projects, such as a custom storefront, run the following command:
```bash npm2yarn
npm install @medusajs/js-sdk@rc @medusajs/types@rc
```
You install two libraries:
- `@medusajs/js-sdk`: the Medusa JS SDK.
- `@medusajs/types`: Medusa's types library, which is useful if you're using TypeScript in your development.
---
## Setup JS SDK
In your project, create the following `config.ts` file:
<Note>
For admin customizations, create this file at `src/admin/lib/config.ts`.
</Note>
<CodeTabs group="sdk-project">
<CodeTab label="Admin" value="admin">
```ts title="src/admin/lib/config.ts"
import Medusa from "@medusajs/js-sdk"
export const sdk = new Medusa({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:9000",
debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
auth: {
type: "session",
},
})
```
</CodeTab>
<CodeTab label="Storefront" value="storefront">
```ts title="config.ts"
import Medusa from "@medusajs/js-sdk"
let MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL = "http://localhost:9000"
if (process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL) {
MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL
}
export const sdk = new Medusa({
baseUrl: MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL,
debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
publishableKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
})
```
</CodeTab>

</Table.Row>
</Table.Body>
</Table>

## Medusa JS SDK Tips
### Use Tanstack (React) Query in Admin Customizations
In admin customizations, use [Tanstack Query](https://tanstack.com/query/latest) with the JS SDK to send requests to custom or existing API routes.
Tanstack Query is installed by default in your Medusa application.
Use the [configured SDK](#setup-js-sdk) with the [useQuery](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/reference/useQuery#usequery) Tanstack Query hook to send `GET` requests, and [useMutation](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/reference/useMutation#usemutation) hook to send `POST` or `DELETE` requests.
For example:
<CodeTabs group="query-type">
<CodeTab label="Query" value="query">
export const queryHighlights = [
["8", "useQuery", "Use Tanstack Query's `useQuery` to send a `GET` request."],
["9", "sdk.admin.product.list", "Use the SDK to send the request."],
["10", "queryKey", "Specify the key used to cache data."]
]
```tsx title="src/admin/widgets/product-widget.ts"
import { defineWidgetConfig } from "@medusajs/admin-sdk"
import { Button, Container } from "@medusajs/ui"
import { useQuery } from "@tanstack/react-query"
import { sdk } from "../lib/config"
import { DetailWidgetProps, HttpTypes } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
const ProductWidget = () => {
const { data, isLoading } = useQuery({
queryFn: () => sdk.admin.product.list(),
queryKey: ["products"]
})
return (
<Container className="divide-y p-0">
{isLoading && <span>Loading...</span>}
{data?.products && (
<ul>
{data.products.map((product) => (
<li key={product.id}>{product.title}</li>
))}
</ul>
)}
</Container>
)
}
export const config = defineWidgetConfig({
zone: "product.list.before",
})
export default ProductWidget
```
</CodeTab>
<CodeTab label="Mutation" value="mutation">
```tsx title="src/admin/widgets/product-widget.ts"
import { defineWidgetConfig } from "@medusajs/admin-sdk"
import { Button, Container } from "@medusajs/ui"
import { useMutation } from "@tanstack/react-query"
import { sdk } from "../lib/config"
import { DetailWidgetProps, HttpTypes } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
const ProductWidget = ({
data: productData
}: DetailWidgetProps<HttpTypes.AdminProduct>) => {
const { mutateAsync } = useMutation({
mutationFn: (payload: HttpTypes.AdminUpdateProduct) =>
sdk.admin.product.update(productData.id, payload),
onSuccess: () => alert("updated product")
})
const handleUpdate = () => {
mutateAsync({
title: "New Product Title"
})
}
return (
<Container className="divide-y p-0">
<Button onClick={handleUpdate}>Update Title</Button>
</Container>
)
}
export const config = defineWidgetConfig({
zone: "product.details.before",
})
export default ProductWidget
```
</CodeTab>
</CodeTabs>
Refer to Tanstack Query's documentation to learn more about sending [Queries](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/reference/useQuery#usequery) and [Mutations](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/reference/useMutation#usemutation).
### Cache in Next.js Projects
Every method of the SDK that sends requests accepts as a last parameter an object of key-value headers to pass in the request.
In Next.js storefronts or projects, pass the `next.tags` header in the last parameter for data caching.
For example:
```ts highlights={[["2", "next"], ["3", "tags", "An array of tags to cache the data under."]]}
sdk.store.product.list({}, {
next: {
tags: ["products"]
}
})
```
The `tags` property accepts an array of tags that the data is cached under.
Then, to purge the cache later, use Next.js's `revalidateTag` utility:
```ts
import { revalidateTag } from "next/cache";
// ...
revalidateTag("products")
```
Learn more in the [Next.js documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/caching#fetch-optionsnexttags-and-revalidatetag).

## Connect to the Medusa Application
<Note type="soon">
Support for Medusa v2 in Medusa React and the JS Client is coming soon.
</Note>
To send requests from the storefront to the Medusa applications Store API Routes, you have three options:
- **For JavaScript frameworks**: use Medusas [JS SDK](../../js-sdk/page.mdx) in any JavaScript framework. This NPM package facilitates interacting with the backends REST APIs.
- **For other frontend technologies**: interact directly with the Medusa application by sending requests to its [Store REST APIs](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/store).
- **For React-based storefronts**: use Medusa React. It provides you with the necessary hooks to retrieve or manipulate data from your Medusa application.
- **For JavaScript frameworks**: use Medusas JavaScript Client in any JavaScript framework. This NPM package facilitates interacting with the backends REST APIs.
