getSelectedProductOptions

Published on Oct 10, 2023, updated 9 months ago

In a Weaverse Hydrogen Theme, getSelectedProductOptions serves as an essential utility for capturing customer selections on product pages. This function simplifies the process of extracting and handling user-selected product variants.

Usage

This utility is intended for server-side use, such as within a route's loader or a component's loader function, and is specifically tailored for use on product pages.

// <root>/app/routes/($locale).products.$productHandle.tsx
import { LoaderArgs } from '@shopify/remix-oxygen'import { getSelectedProductOptions } from '@weaverse/hydrogen'
export async function loader({ params, request, context }: LoaderArgs) {  let { shop, product } = await context.storefront.query(PRODUCT_QUERY, {    variables: {      handle: params.productHandle,      // Use the utility to get selected product options from the request      selectedOptions: getSelectedProductOptions(request),      country: context.storefront.i18n.country,      language: context.storefront.i18n.language,    },  })
  // Fetch and return the product data based on the selected options  // ...}

Return Value

The getSelectedProductOptions utility returns an object where the keys are option names (such as "Color" or " Size") and the values are the selected options by the customer as indicated in the request's search parameters.

Scope of Use

This utility is specifically designed for use on the product page only within the Weaverse Hydrogen theme. It is NOT intended for non-product pages as it relies on the context of a product and its selectable options.
