What is Format of params for for customer.create and customer.update i.e input.customer ? As per test ?

[lpinca]

Yes, use the tests as examples.

[amarg26]

But what is input.customer like

input.webhook in that test is

{ topic: 'orders/create', address: 'http://whatever.hostname.com/', format: 'json' }

Thanks. I have a query now that What is the way to pass the form values eg . email and number to the above param? Also I only need Email and Number , If I exclude the rest will it be fine ?

[lpinca]

Yes probably, try it, Shopify will answer with a validation error if it doesn't work.

I have following code to create customer

`const createCustomer = function(shopDomain, accessToken, customer) {
  const shopName=shopDomain.replace('.myshopify.com','');
  const shopify = new ShopifyAPIClient({ shopName: shopName, accessToken: accessToken });

shopify.customer.create(customer).then(
   response => console.log(`customer ${customer}  created`),
   err => console.log(`Error creating customer ${customer} ${JSON.stringify(err.response.body)}`)
);

}`

createCustomer(shop,accessToken,{ "email": "steve.lastnameson@example.com", "phone": "555-1212", "verified_email": true, "metafields": [ { "key": "new", "value": "newvalue", "value_type": "string", "namespace": "global" } ] }); I am getting error in console as Error creating customer [object Object] {"errors":{"phone":["is invalid"]}} What am I doing wrong here ?

[lpinca]

{"errors":{"phone":["is invalid"]}}

I guess the phone format is invalid.

[amarg26]

Format is 10 digit ?

[lpinca]

I don't know, try it or search on Google, this is not an issue in the library.

[amarg26]

I used right format and I got response as customer [object Object] created at console .When I check my store admin customer panel. I do not found this entry. Is anything additionally need to be done to get every customer entry at admin store ?

[lpinca]

If you got a 200 response then the customer was created and should appear in the admin interface.

[amarg26]

createCustomer(shop,accessToken,{
    "email": req.body.email, // hard values getting saved but what is dynamic variable or param 
    "phone": req.body.phone,//  i needs to pass ??
    "verified_email": true,
    "metafields": [
      {
        "key": "new",
        "value": "newvalue",
        "value_type": "string",
        "namespace": "global"
      }
    ]
      });

const createCustomer = function(shopDomain, accessToken, customer) {
  const shopName=shopDomain.replace('.myshopify.com','');
  const shopify = new ShopifyAPIClient({ shopName: shopName, accessToken: accessToken });

shopify.customer.create(customer).then(
   response => console.log(`customer ${customer.email}  created`),
   err => console.log(`Error creating customer ${customer.email} ${JSON.stringify(err.response.body)}`)
);
}
app.post('/signup',cors(),  function (req, res,err) { 
  res.set('dataType', 'json');
  res.sendStatus(200);
  res.sendStatus(200);
  const postBody = req.body;
  console.log(postBody);
  console.log(req.body.email);
  console.log(req.body.number);
  console.log(err);
});

I am getting the customer Hard values in this function call.What I want is when user submits form, (jquery ajax form on client) I want to store it every time when user submits form without passing hard values.How to pass dynamic value to the createCustomer function call ?

function signUpCall(){
  $.ajax({
  method: "POST",
  url: "https://dcf92d61.ngrok.io/signup",
  dataType: "text",
  data: $('#contact_form').serialize()
})
.done(function( data ) {
    alert(JSON.stringify(data)); 
  })
.fail(function(err) {
    alert( "error" + err );
  });
}
</script>
<form method="POST" accept-charset="UTF-8" id="contact_form" class="contact-form" action="/contact#contact_form" onsubmit="signUpCall();return false;">
     <input type="email" class="" name="email" required placeholder="Please Enter Email" 
     style="width: 420px;  display: inline-block;" />
      <input type="number" class="" name="number" required placeholder="Please Enter Contact Number" 
      style="width: 420px;  display: inline-block;"/>
      <input type='submit'/>
    </form>
