Error: Missing adapter implementation for 'abstractRuntimeString'

[FlorianB385]

Hi! We would like to build an simple Shopify App in nuxt3. After installation and configuration, we call the shopifyApi function. Then the error occurs. Some issue report says, that we import first "@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node" but that didn't help either.

• @shopify/shopify-api version: 6.2.0
• Node version: 18.14.0
• Operating system: MacOs Venture 13.2.1

Having this exact issue as well. Been scouring the Shopify docs to see if I missed anything to no avail.

Also encountered this. I assume this has to do with not importing the relevant node adapters

import '@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node'

Can anyone confirm?

[mkevinosullivan]

Yes, that error is an indication that the adapter hasn't been loaded before the first call to shopifyApi (https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-api-js/blob/main/docs/migrating-to-v6.md#migrating-to-v6).

import '@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node';
import { ... } from '@shopify/shopify-api';

I want to confirm that it will work if you import the library as with an await inside a nitro plugin

export default defineNitroPlugin(async (nitroApp) => { await import('@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node') })

This way, the adapter is registered and work for Nuxt server functions with Nitro

@BYohann

I'm doing it the exact same way in a Nitro plugin and still getting the same error => "Error: Missing adapter implementation for 'abstractRuntimeString'"

Is this way what you are currently using?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Create a middleware server like server/middleware/shopifyAdapters.js with:

export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
import("@shopify/shopify-api/adapters/node");
});

This worked for me
