Stock Monitoring

Official documentation here

This plugin helps you monitor the stock levels in two ways:

1. A dashboard widget that displays variants that have stock level's below their threshold
2. An event is emitted when a variant's stock level drops below a given threshold after each placed order.

Getting started

1. Add the plugin to your vendure-config.ts to expose a productVariantsWithLowStock query in the admin API.

For more configuration options regarding the admin ui, check the docs.

When you start the server and login, you can find stock-levels under the add widgets button.

Caveats

1. This plugin doesn't use the StockLocationStrategy because of performance reasons. Instead, it fetches the stock level for each variant from the database and calculates its absolute stock based on the stockOnHand and stockAllocated fields.
2. Stock notifications are only emitted after an order is placed. Manual stock changes via the admin UI will not trigger a notification.
