In Shopware 6, JavaScript functionalities are split in modular “plugins” – which are added to your usual Shopware plugin. This JavaScript functionalities are automatically initialized when the page loads. Once you get your head around the fact that your plugin has plugins inside it (inception!), we can say it’s quite straightforward — until you need […]
We are currently implementing a module for a customer which manipulates filters and should update the sidebar with new content. I think I found a very nifty way to pass informations to the JS to update the sidebar without another request. Product list ist HTML and not JSON The first important finding was, that although […]
One of our recent projects involved a unique request from a client: They needed a download link for a ZIP archive containing relevant information for each product on their Shopware site’s listing pages. However, the catch was to only display this link if the ZIP archive actually existed on the server. In other words, we […]
Good morning! We submitted our payment plugin once again, Shopware’s review can be stressful, or in other words: They are doing an amazing job finding bugs. What is going on? I have no clue. Even worse – it seems like ALL frontend plugins are broken. How to know this? You can run in your browser […]
As you might know, Cypress is a problem and there is a lot of stuff written down. But because I didn’t make it work with one article, we need another one! I made it work with our payment plugin for Montonio so here it goes: Security? Who needs this anyway!? First step is to turn […]
That’s it, that’s the message. Some context You are here for the story behind? I’m happy to tell you, but might be boring 🙂 I’m still working on a payment plugin for Shopware 6 and because the damn iframe for card payment and blik is changing its name all the time, I’ll access it in […]
We build a payment plugin and currently working on the release on the Shopware store. One of the feedback we got is to either add async or defer to the externally loaded <script> The difference between the two is simple once it is understood but before that it sounds the same – and it is […]
Shopware Version 6.5.7.3 My colleague Carl told us last week, that it took him a while to get options on Shopware JavaScript frontend plugins working. I was wondering why, I did it a couple of times and had no problems, but after explanation I understood. Name are not just noise and smoke I always had […]
It’s the small things, but I think it is worth writing about it, because I learned something new and maybe you do to! I help a friend building her homepage and while implementing a small little translation script (I should blog about as well ?) the question came up to how to remove the display: […]
Writing backend administration plugins is hard. Especially if your docker setup has problems running bin/watch-administration.sh. But Vue Devtools are here to help! Unfortunately they don’t run in production mode, only on the watcher. So if you are struggeling with running the watches, the next best thing is to install a chrome plugin which forces your […]
This blogpost is based on Shopware version 6.4.20.2. One of our customers had the requirement to implement a couple of additional, „special“ payment methods. Because this increased the number of payment methods in the shop to 12 in total, the customer suggested to spread the payment methods out to both sides of the checkout, using […]
TIL (Today I learned) that on Vue.js if you give a DOM element/vue component it is only saved on the $parent.$refs. I’m writing this down, because coming from Magento 1, my assumption was, that $refs is some kind of a library or singleton, so I can find ALLE components in it – this is not […]
