Shopify App Bridge not working with React

[charliehe]

I am trying to use a React single-page application as the embedded UI for my Shopify app. I’ve followed the guides on https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli to link my Shopify app and set direct API access to online in my shopify.app.toml file. I’ve also ensured that my app configuration has been deployed.

Unfortunately, when I deploy my React app to shopify.mydomain.com, the React app loads in the embedded UI on my test store, but I get the following errors in console in the embedded UI when trying to access the shopify global variable or try to fetch any Shopify API endpoint.

Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('<URL>') does not match the recipient window's origin ('<URL>').
index-8r6ap7z6.js:41 

Fetch API cannot load shopify:admin/api/graphql.json. URL scheme "shopify" is not supported.

Here’s my React component:

import { useEffect } from "react";

import { Loading, Provider } from "@shopify/app-bridge-react";
import { AppProvider, Card } from "@shopify/polaris";

const config = {
  apiKey: "c795d90d920207874dcf902bdfc422d3",
  host: new URLSearchParams(location.search).get("host") as string,
  forceRedirect: true,
};

const getDomain = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch("shopify:admin/api/graphql.json", {
      method: "POST",
      body: JSON.stringify({
        query: `
        query {
          shop {
            domains {
              host
            }
          }
        }
      `,
      }),
    });

    const {
      shop: { domains },
    }: {
      shop: { domains: { host: string }[] };
    } = await response.json();

    return domains.find(({ host }) => !host.includes(".myshopify.com"));
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);

    return null;
  }
};

export default function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const initialize = async () => {
      console.log(shopify);
      const domain = await getDomain();
      console.log(domain);
    };

    initialize();
  });

  return (
    <AppProvider i18n={[]}>
      <Provider config={config}>
        <Loading />
        <Card />
      </Provider>
    </AppProvider>
  );
}

I’ve followed these guides and I cannot for the life of me find any more documentation…

• https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-bridge-library
• https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-bridge/previous-versions/app-bridge-from-npm/using-react

Am I doing something wrong?

[Liam]

Hi Charliehe,

This does seem like an unusual error - I’ve connected with the App Bridge team on this and will report back asap.

[Liam]

Hi again Charliehe - can you confirm that you have the app-bridge.js script tag added to you app? (See doc highlighting this here)

[Fabien_Sebban]

Hi @Liam

This app example is a React-embedded app. This means he already loaded the npm package @shopify/app-bridge-react. The app-bridge.js shouldn’t be included in the @shopify/app-bridge-react npm package?

Thanks

[Fabien_Sebban]

The alert caution message in the app bridge documentation made me think there was probably something wrong with the way I installed the app bridge library in my code.

Then, I added the script and meta tags:

But the error persists. Does it mean I have to uninstall the shopify app-bridge npm packages?

But I still have the error message “Fetch API cannot load shopify:admin/api/graphql.json. URL scheme “shopify” is not supported.”

[pklitscher]

Hey @Liam

I am experiencing the same. Currently migrating to the latest app bridge and cannot get authenticated fetch to work.

I have added the shopify-api-key and script to the head of my index.html

I can confirm that the global shopify object is available and I can launch the new modal using the ui-modal modal element

However, I am getting the same “Fetch API cannot load shopify:admin/api/graphql.json. URL scheme “shopify” is not supported.” error and fetch requests to my own endpoints are not being sent with the authorization headers as described here https://shopify.dev/docs/api/app-bridge-library/reference/resource-fetching

[Stephen2020]

Same problem here:

Fetch API cannot load shopify:admin/api/graphql.json. URL scheme “shopify” is not supported.

In the documentation at https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration it is suggested to add a section [access.admin] to shopify.app.toml and that the property “embedded_app_direct_api_access” must be set to true:

But that only gives an error when starting “npm run dev”:

[Kharazian]

I’ve been working on a project, and I’m encountering a similar issue with the developing code. It seems like I’m not the only one facing this challenge.

Has anyone found a successful solution or workaround for this problem?

[Kharazian]

I find this information helpful. This guide on upgrading components to Shopify App Bridge 4 seems particularly useful. It says that a context provider, which was previously required, is no longer needed.

Replace this:

import {Provider} from '@shopify/app-bridge-react';
return (
   
);

With this:

return (
   My app

);

Now, you don’t need the provider in the latest App Bridge React version.

[BertrandProvost]

Hello,

I had this error and I was able to fix it by creating a config file shopify.app.toml like described here https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration with the following config for access.admin

[access.admin]
direct_api_mode = "online"
embedded_app_direct_api_access = true

and then deploying it with (in the same folder):

shopify app deploy

I also had to add those lines to load app-bridge.js

<meta name="shopify-api-key" content="ClientId"/>
<script src="https://cdn.shopify.com/shopifycloud/app-bridge.js"></script>

[Kharazian]

Hello @BertrandProvost ,

Can you tell me which framework you utilize (Remix, Next.js, or React)? Additionally, are you able to specify the version of the @shopify/app-bridge-react library you currently use?

Thanks!

[BertrandProvost]

React with those packages:

"@shopify/app-bridge-react": "^4.1.1",
"@shopify/polaris": "^12.21.0",
"@shopify/polaris-icons": "^8.8.0",
"@shopify/theme-currency": "^4.1.1",

And in dev deps:

"@shopify/app-bridge-types": "^0.0.9",

[Kharazian]

Thanks, I checked it with Remix, and unfortunately the issues still exist.

[Dugani]

Im still experiencing the same problem did you manage to fix it?

[ScalaApps]

I can’t also make this work. I don’t think there’s any reason you would need app-bridge-react to make this work as well.

[ScalaApps]

I’m pretty sure I did nothing different and is now working. Maybe you have to wait 24 hours after you enable the direct mode api in the toml file.

[CapitalCastle]

Hello,

I did off to “Development store preview” and then direct api is working.

App => Extensions

I hope it will work for everyone.

[Joe47]

None of these solutions worked for me either. But I was able to get it working by adding the header myself:

fetch(uri, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${await shopify.idToken()}`
  }
})

[FA-vuongnq]

Great job. You had save my times . I hope shopify document will be add this note

[farid-movsumov]

Thanks for the fix, the following line (shopify.app.toml) fixed problem for me

[access.admin]
embedded_app_direct_api_access = true
