Theme sections

[fredrikekelund]

I saw that Shopify had introduced a new feature for theme builders: Sections. I understood the goal of it, but honestly found the documentation to be lacking in examples to help me with concrete implementation. So I looked to Timber for some code examples, but it seems it hasn't caught up with the new feature. Would be cool to have some examples of sections here!

Grab a copy of the Debut theme.

I did, and while it helped me, this is the "official boilerplate" and it would be helpful if it had a few examples as well.

Shopify announced a new Theme Kit earlier in the year called Slate, so Timber support is being phased out. I think it was supposed to launch this year, but hopefully it will be around soon.

FYI – quite a few of the free Shopify themes have now implemented Sections too such as Brooklyn, Venture, and Boundless etc. It can be useful to view those as well.

Any link to the slate project? Matthew Kennedy

As someone who has never tried to theme a Shopify shop as a developer, it would be super useful for Shopify to have a single entry point with relevant, up-to-date information. For example, like @fredrikekelund I started with the Timber theme and then a few hours later found out 'Timber doesn't support sections'. That's pretty important information...

I understand that starting in the world of Shopify can be difficult; however, what areas or ‘sections’ are difficult?

You can grab the Debut theme now, or get Slate.

@suture yeah thanks I ended up using the Debut theme.

@devyngregory I mean the fact that 1.) the Shopify documentation / information is very fragmented 2.) The Timber website doesn't mention the fact that sections are not supported
