Reviews App for Hydrogen?

[jadamconnor]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a reviews app for Hydrogen. Since a product review/rating would be a product property, and we can't mutate products with the storefront API, I'm assuming the only way to implement this would be an app. I'm trying to avoid the additional complexity of managing an app. Otherwise I'd just build one. Anyone know of such a product?

All the usual suspects work well on React / Hydrogen storefronts: Yotpo, Bazaarvoice, Okendo

Thanks. I guess an app is required since there's no way to mutate products with the storefront api.

If you were determined to go at it on your own the best course of action would likely be writing to Metaobjects using the Admin API through server-side Remix Action. You'd just need to figure out an authentication scheme that makes sense.

Can't say I'd recommend it though :)

Their is also limit on the Admin API how many times you can call it, only storefront api is limitless.
But it should be super easy to create an app using azure function, create api and then you can call them using remix from your storefront actions and load them from loader. the api is never exposed, just use the azure function api key authentication.
I would imagine he needs something very simple.

Thanks. Appreciate the input. I guess I was working under the understanding that admin api had to be accessed from apps that are installed in Shopify. Didn't realize you could make calls to it from Remix. I personally don't think the documentation is very clear about this.
