InMemorySessionStorage not a constructor in @shopify/shopify-api v11.13.0 – Official recommended way to initialize sessionStorage?

Functions

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a custom Node.js Shopify app, and I’m completely stuck with this issue.

Environment:

  • Node.js v22.16.0
  • @shopify/shopify-api version: 11.13.0
  • Clean environment, no leftover processes or conflicting versions

Problem:
Following the official documentation and multiple community threads, I’ve tried importing InMemorySessionStorage like this: const { shopifyApi, LATEST_API_VERSION, InMemorySessionStorage } = require(‘@shopify/shopify-api’);

And initializing it in my shopifyApi config: sessionStorage: new InMemorySessionStorage()

But I keep getting this error: TypeError: InMemorySessionStorage is not a constructor

I’ve also tried:

  • Importing as MemorySessionStorage
  • Using require('@shopify/shopify-api').session.MemorySessionStorage
  • Using require('@shopify/shopify-api').session.InMemorySessionStorage

None of these work always the same error about it not being a constructor or undefined.

Can anyone confirm the correct, supported way to initialize session storage in v11.13.0** of @shopify/shopify-api?

If there is an updated example or repo reference, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much in advance. Im open to downgrading the package if that’s the only way, but I’d prefer to stay on v11 if possible.
