import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { ribbonsV3 } from '@wix/stores';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { ribbonsV3 },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function getOrCreateRibbon(ribbonName,options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.ribbonsV3.getOrCreateRibbon(ribbonName,options);
};
```
