Implement the ability to consult, create, and update an SKU Complement, which is a new SKU associated with a Parent SKU. This feature will integrate the SKU Complement functionality provided by the VTEX Catalog API.
Why we need the feature
SKU Complements are essential for managing complex product catalogs that include products with variations or additional options. By supporting SKU Complements, we enable users to:
Effectively manage relationships between parent and child SKUs.
Enhance inventory management by accurately tracking product variants.
Improve catalog organization, making it easier for customers to find and purchase products.
Integrating this feature expands the capabilities of our application, making it more suitable for businesses with advanced product management needs.
How to implement and why
Create SKU Complement Models: Define new data models to represent SKU Complements, including necessary fields such as ParentSKUId, ComplementSKUId, and any additional attributes required by the VTEX API.
Develop API Client Methods: Implement methods in the API client to interact with the VTEX SKU Complement endpoints for:
Consulting an SKU Complement: Retrieve details of an SKU Complement by its ID.
Creating an SKU Complement: Send requests to create new SKU Complements linked to Parent SKUs.
Updating an SKU Complement: Update existing SKU Complement information as needed.
Integrate with Service Layer: Update the service layer to include new operations for SKU Complements, ensuring proper handling of requests, responses, and error management, while adhering to VTEX API protocols.
Add Unit and Integration Tests: Write comprehensive tests to validate the new functionality, ensuring reliability and preventing regressions.
Update Documentation: Document the new features, including API usage instructions, examples, and any necessary configuration steps.
Reasons:
Modular Implementation: Breaking down the implementation into clear steps ensures maintainability and scalability.
Adherence to API Standards: Aligning with VTEX API specifications guarantees compatibility and smooth integration.
Reliability: Thorough testing and documentation support user adoption and trust in the new feature.
About backward compatibility
This implementation will maintain backward compatibility because:
Non-Intrusive Additions: The new functionality adds endpoints and models without modifying existing ones.
No Breaking Changes: Existing APIs and services remain unchanged, preventing disruptions for current users.
Careful Integration: Any shared components or utilities extended for SKU Complements will be implemented in a way that does not affect existing behaviors.
By ensuring backward compatibility, we allow current users to continue using the application without interruption while providing new capabilities for those who need them.
