@thebcms/medusa-plugin

Medusa v2 plugin for BCMS.

Link BCMS entries to products by slot (e.g. rich_description, recommended_blogs), with per-slot template allowlists in admin, and serve resolved content through store API routes.

Requirements

• Medusa ^2.19
• Node >=20.19.0
• BCMS API key

Install

npm install @thebcms/medusa-plugin

Register in medusa-config.ts:

import { defineConfig, loadEnv } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

loadEnv(process.env.NODE_ENV || "development", process.cwd())

module.exports = defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "@thebcms/medusa-plugin",
      options: {
        apiKey: process.env.BCMS_API_KEY,
      },
    },
  ],
})

Run migrations:

npx medusa db:migrate

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
apiKey	string	—	BCMS API key (required for BCMS calls).
cmsOrigin	string	BCMS default	Your BCMS instance URL.
useMemCache	boolean	true	Client cache. Set false for live preview.
debug	boolean	false	Verbose BCMS client logs.

Admin

• Settings → BCMS — define slots and which templates each slot may use. No slots exist until you add them. An empty template list on a slot means all templates are allowed.
• Products → BCMS content — link one or more BCMS entries per slot.

Store API

Auth: Medusa publishable API key (via JS SDK).

Method	Path	Description
GET	/store/bcms/products/:id	Product + resolved entries in bcms.slots.
GET	/store/bcms/entries/:id?template=	Single entry by id.
GET	/store/bcms/pages/:slug?template=	Single entry by slug.

Standalone entry/page routes only allow templates configured on at least one slot (or all templates if any slot has an empty allowlist). Linked entries on the product route are always returned.

import Medusa from "@medusajs/js-sdk"

const sdk = new Medusa({
  baseUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL!,
  publishableKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MEDUSA_PUBLISHABLE_KEY!,
})

const { product, bcms } = await sdk.client.fetch(
  `/store/bcms/products/${productId}`
)

const richText = bcms.slots["rich_description"]?.[0]?.entry
const blogs = bcms.slots["recommended_blogs"] ?? []

Query linked entries in custom routes:

const { data } = await query.graph({
  entity: "product",
  fields: ["id", "title", "bcms_links.*"],
  filters: { id: productId },
})

Types:

import type {
  BcmsModuleOptions,
  BcmsLinkPayload,
  BcmsSettingPayload,
} from "@thebcms/medusa-plugin/modules/bcms"

Development

npm install
npx medusa plugin:publish    # local yalc registry
npx medusa plugin:develop    # watch + rebuild

In a Medusa app:

npx medusa plugin:add @thebcms/medusa-plugin
