Theme Settings

Template settings are now accessible through the Storefront APIs:

GET api/v1/template-settings?template=home

This is an early version and is subject to change. Give it a try and share your feedback with us.

Section `meta.type`

We are testing a new field on sections to help developers build sections that are more mobile-compatible.

In the template-settings response, each section now includes a meta.type field specifying the type of module it is. This removes the need to rely on specific section file names (e.g. main-slider.twig, main_slider2.twig, slider.twig) — theme developers can simply declare the type in their file schema:

{
  ...

  "meta": {
    "type": "slider"
  }
}

Testing

The meta.type field is currently applied only to Soft Theme Vitrin.

1. Open the online theme editor

Use a store running Soft Theme Vitrin.

2. Refresh each section

Make any update to each section — no need to delete it — so its schema refreshes.

3. Call the endpoint

Request api/v1/template-settings?template=home and inspect the meta.type field on each section.
