### What is this?

A Dockerized CLI application which allows you to automatically sync different resources between two commercetools projects.
As of now, these are the supported resources:

- CartDiscounts
- Categories
- InventoryEntries
- Products
- ProductTypes
- Types
- States
- TaxCategories
- CustomObjects
- Customers
- ShoppingLists

### Prerequisites

- Make sure you have installed docker to run the docker image.
- The following fields are **required** to be set on the following resources (and sub-resources), if they will be
synced:

| Resource/ Sub-resource | Required Fields |
|---|---|
| Product | `key` |
| Product Variant | `key`, `sku` |
| Product Variant Asset (if exists) | `key` |
| ProductType | `key` |
| Type | `key` |
| Category | `key` |
| Category Asset (if exists) | `key` |
| CartDiscount | `key` |
| InventoryEntry | `sku` |
| State | `key` |
| TaxCategory | `key` |
| CustomObject | `container` AND `key` |
| Customer | `key` |
| Customer Address | `key` |
| ShoppingList | `key` |
| ShoppingList LineItem - Product Variant | `sku` |
| ShoppingList TextLineItem | `name` |

- Set the following environment variables before running the application
```bash
export SOURCE_PROJECT_KEY = "source-project-key"
export SOURCE_CLIENT_ID = "sourceClientId"
export SOURCE_CLIENT_SECRET = "sourceClientSecret"
export SOURCE_AUTH_URL = "https://auth.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com/oauth/token" #optional parameter
export SOURCE_API_URL = "https://api.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com" #optional parameter
export SOURCE_SCOPES = "manage_project" #optional parameter

export TARGET_PROJECT_KEY = "target-project-key"
export TARGET_CLIENT_ID = "targetClientId"
export TARGET_CLIENT_SECRET = "targetClientSecret"
export TARGET_AUTH_URL = "https://auth.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com/oauth/token" #optional parameter
export TARGET_API_URL = "https://api.eu-central-1.aws.commercetools.com" #optional parameter
export TARGET_SCOPES = "manage_project" #optional parameter
```
Note: For *_AUTH_URL and *_API_URL parameter values,
you can use different [authentication endpoints](https://docs.commercetools.com/api/authorization#requesting-an-access-token-using-the-composable-commerce-oauth-20-service) and [API endpoints](https://docs.commercetools.com/api/general-concepts#hosts).

Note 2: Project-sync uses `manage_project` [scope](https://docs.commercetools.com/api/scopes) by default.
if you want to use different scope you might set `SOURCE_SCOPES` and `TARGET_SCOPES` environment variables, for instance:
`export SOURCE_SCOPES="manage_products"` or `export TARGET_SCOPES="manage_products, manage_customers"`(separate multiple scope elements with a comma).

Note 3: be careful there is no trailing slash in the URLs. Please make sure the URLs do not include `/` as this would result in a wrong URLs like so and fail the process: `https://auth.eu-central-1.gcp.commercetools.com//oauth/token`

### Usage

```bash
usage: commercetools-project-sync
-f,--full By default, a delta sync runs using
last-sync-timestamp logic. Use this
flag to run a full sync. i.e. sync
the entire data set. This option must
be added after `-s` option.
-h,--help Print help information.
-r,--runnerName Choose a name for the running sync
instance. Please make sure the name
is unique, otherwise running more
than 1 sync instance with the same
name would lead to an unexpected
behaviour. This option must
be added after `-s` option. (optional parameter)
default: 'runnerName'.
-s,--sync Choose one or more of the following modules
to run: "types", "productTypes",
"cartDiscounts", "customObjects",
"categories", "products",
"inventoryEntries", "states",
"taxCategories", "customers",
"shoppingLists" or "all".
--syncProjectSyncCustomObjects Sync custom objects that were created
with project sync (this application). This option must
be added after `-s` option.
--productQueryParameters Pass your customized product fetch limit
and a product projection predicate to filter
product resources to sync in the JSON format.
Example: "{\"limit\": 100, \"where\": \"
published=true\"}" could be used to fetch
only published products to sync and limit
max 100 elements in one page. This option must
be added after `-s` option.
-v,--version Print the version of the application.
```

#### Delta Sync

By default, running the sync without using `-f` or `--full` option would run a delta sync; which means that only resources
which have been modified since the last time the sync has run would be synced. The application achieves that by
persisting the last sync timestamp on commercetools using `CustomObjects` on every sync run.

The last sync timestamp `customObject` for a runner name `testRun` running a **Type Sync** from a source commercetools project with the key `java-sync-source-dev1` looks as follows:

```javascript
{
"id": "0ee39da2-21fd-46b4-9f99-44eae7f249a1",
"version": 2,
"container": "commercetools-project-sync.testRun.typeSync",
"key": "java-sync-source-dev1",
"value": {
"lastSyncDurationInMillis": 972,
"applicationVersion": "3.1.0",
"lastSyncTimestamp": "2019-05-24T11:17:00.602Z",
"lastSyncStatistics": {
"processed": 0,
"failed": 0,
"created": 0,
"updated": 0,
"reportMessage": "Summary: 0 types were processed in total (0 created, 0 updated and 0 failed to sync)."
}
},
"createdAt": "2019-05-24T11:18:12.831Z",
"lastModifiedAt": "2019-05-24T11:19:01.822Z",
"lastModifiedBy": {
"clientId": "8bV3XSW-taCph843-GQTa8lf",
"isPlatformClient": false
},
"createdBy": {
"clientId": "8bV3XSW-taCph843-GQTa8lf",
"isPlatformClient": false
}
}
```

- The `container` has the convention: `commercetools-project-sync.{runnerName}.{syncModuleName}`.
- The `key` contains the source project key.
- The `value` contains the information `lastSyncDurationInMillis`, `applicationVersion`, `lastSyncTimestamp` and `lastSyncStatistics`.
- These custom objects will not be synced with the custom object syncer unless the option --syncProjectSyncCustomObjects is added.

_Note:_ Another `customObject` with the `container` convention `commercetools-project-sync.{runnerName}.{syncModuleName}.timestampGenerator` is also created on the target project for capturing a unified timestamp from commercetools.

Running a **Full sync** using `-f` or `--full` option will not create any `customObjects`.

#### Understanding the summary reportMessage

In the best case, the reportMessage should be self-explaining like in the example above. However, in case of errors, this kind of message could appear:

```
Summary: 1 product(s) were processed in total (0 created, 0 updated, 0 failed to sync and 1 product(s) with missing reference(s))
```

- `failed to sync` means there is an error from the composable commerce API after the sync tried to create/update the product. Therefore, this product could not be created/updated. The root cause is returned in the previous log lines, immediately during the sync process when this problem happens.
- `product(s) with missing reference(s)` means that the synced product has some [references](https://docs.commercetools.com/api/types#references) to other products in its attributes. These referenced products do not exist in the target project, therefore the synced product cannot be created/updated. The solution to this problem is to make sure all the references are already synced. This is not counted as `failed to sync` because this reference check happens before the sync itself.

#### Running Multiple Syncers

The application can sync multiple resources. For example, to run `type` and `productType` sync together,
the `-s` option with `types productTypes` as below:
```bash
-s types productTypes
```

#### Running ProductSync with custom product query parameters

You might pass your customized product fetch limit, and a product projection predicate to filter product resources to sync in the JSON format.

For instance:

```bash
-s products -productQueryParameters "{\"limit\": 100, \"where\": \"published=true AND masterVariant(attributes(name=\\\"attribute-name\\\" and value=\\\"attribute-value\\\"))\"}"
```

Predicates provide a way for complex filter expressions when querying resources. Refer commercetools docs for more details.

Note: The value of the productQueryParameters argument should be in JSON format and as shown in the above example, please use escape character \ for the nested double quote values.
Example:
```bash
-s products -productQueryParameters "{\"limit\": 100, \"where\": \"published=true AND masterVariant(key= \\\"variantKey\\\")\"}"
```

#### Running the Docker Image

##### Download

```bash
docker pull commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8

```

### Examples
- To run the all sync modules from a source project to a target project
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s all
```
This will run the following sync modules in the given order:
1. `Type` Sync and `ProductType` Sync and `States` Sync and `TaxCategory` Sync and `CustomObject` Sync in parallel.
2. `Category` Sync and `InventoryEntry` Sync and `CartDiscount` Sync and `Customer` Sync in parallel.
3. `Product` Sync.
4. `ShoppingList` Sync.

- To run the type sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s types
```

- To run the productType sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s productTypes
```

- To run the states sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s states
```
- To run the taxCategory sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s taxCategories
```

- To run the category sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s categories
```

- To run the product sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s products
```

```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s cartDiscounts
```

- To run the inventoryEntry sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s inventoryEntries
```

- To run the customObject sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s customObjects
```

- To run the customer sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s customers
```

- To run the shoppingList sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s shoppingLists
```
- To run both products and shoppingList sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s products shoppingLists
```

- To run type, productType and shoppingList sync
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s types productTypes shoppingLists
```

- To run all sync modules using a runner name
```bash
docker run commercetools/commercetools-project-sync:5.4.8 -s all -r myRunnerName
```

## Scopes
If you want to narrow down the credential scopes instead of using `manage_project` scope, make sure you grant the correct scopes for every resource you intend to sync.

### Required scope for all resources
For project-sync to run successfully, it is **required to grant access to custom objects for the target project**. Therefore, one of the below scope must always be granted for any resources: `manage_products` OR `manage_orders` OR `manage_customers` OR `manage_key_value_documents`

### Required scope per resource

In addition to the above-mentioned scope, the table below shows the minimal scope for every resource

| Resource | Scope |
|-------------------| --- |
| Cart discounts | `manage_cart_discounts` |
| Categories | `manage_categories`|
| Inventory entries | `manage_products`|
| Products | `manage_products`|
| Product types | `manage_products`|
| Types | `manage_types`|
| States | `manage_states`|
| Tax categories | `manage_tax_categories`|
| Custom objects | `manage_products` OR `manage_orders` OR `manage_customers` OR `manage_key_value_documents`|
| Customers | `manage_customers`|
| Shopping lists | `manage_shopping_lists`|
