In this section of the documentation, you will find resources to learn more about the Region Module and how to use it in your application.

Refer to the Medusa Admin User Guide to learn how to manage regions using the dashboard.

</Note>

Medusa has region related features available out-of-the-box through the Region Module. A module is a standalone package that provides features for a single domain. Each of Medusa's commerce features are placed in Commerce Modules, such as this Region Module.

<Note>

Learn more about why modules are isolated in this documentation.

Region Features

Region Management: Manage regions in your store. You can create regions with different currencies and settings.
Multi-Currency Support: Each region has a currency. You can support multiple currencies in your store by creating multiple regions.
Different Settings Per Region: Each region has its own settings, such as what countries belong to a region or its tax settings.

How to Use Region Module's Service

In your Medusa application, you build flows around Commerce Modules. A flow is built as a Workflow, which is a special function composed of a series of steps that guarantees data consistency and reliable roll-back mechanism.

You can build custom workflows and steps. You can also re-use Medusa's workflows and steps, which are provided by the @medusajs/medusa/core-flows package.

For example:

export const highlights = [ ["12", "Modules.REGION", "Resolve the module in a step."] ]

import { 
  createWorkflow, 
  WorkflowResponse,
  createStep,
  StepResponse,
} from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

const createRegionStep = createStep(
  "create-region",
  async ({}, { container }) => {
    const regionModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.REGION)

    const region = await regionModuleService.createRegions({
      name: "Europe",
      currency_code: "eur",
    })

    return new StepResponse({ region }, region.id)
  },
  async (regionId, { container }) => {
    if (!regionId) {
      return
    }
    const regionModuleService = container.resolve(Modules.REGION)

    await regionModuleService.deleteRegions([regionId])
  }
)

export const createRegionWorkflow = createWorkflow(
  "create-region",
  () => {
    const { region } = createRegionStep()

    return new WorkflowResponse({
      region,
    })
  }
)

You can then execute the workflow in your custom API routes, scheduled jobs, or subscribers:

import type {
  MedusaRequest,
  MedusaResponse,
} from "@medusajs/framework/http"
import { createRegionWorkflow } from "../../workflows/create-region"

export async function GET(
  req: MedusaRequest,
  res: MedusaResponse
) {
  const { result } = await createRegionWorkflow(req.scope)
    .run()

  res.send(result)
}

</CodeTab> <CodeTab label="Subscriber" value="subscriber">

import {
  type SubscriberConfig,
  type SubscriberArgs,
} from "@medusajs/framework"
import { createRegionWorkflow } from "../workflows/create-region"

export default async function handleUserCreated({
  event: { data },
  container,
}: SubscriberArgs<{ id: string }>) {
  const { result } = await createRegionWorkflow(container)
    .run()

  console.log(result)
}

export const config: SubscriberConfig = {
  event: "user.created",
}

</CodeTab> <CodeTab label="Scheduled Job" value="scheduled-job">

import { MedusaContainer } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
import { createRegionWorkflow } from "../workflows/create-region"

export default async function myCustomJob(
  container: MedusaContainer
) {
  const { result } = await createRegionWorkflow(container)
    .run()

  console.log(result)
}

export const config = {
  name: "run-once-a-day",
  schedule: `0 0 * * *`,
}

</CodeTab> </CodeTabs>
