Start using Sledge and Hydrogen

Prior using all Sledge's widgets, follow the steps below to start integrating Sledge into your Hydrogen storefront.

Quickstart

Install Sledge Core

First, you need to install the core of sledge package, run the following command:

npm i @sledge-app/core

Setup the `SledgeProvider`

Once you've installed the core, you can start using it in your Hydrogen project.

app/root.tsx

import { type LinksFunction } from "@shopify/remix-oxygen";
import { SledgeProvider } from "@sledge-app/core";
import sledgeCss from '@sledge-app/core/style.css';
 
export const links: LinksFunction = () => {
  return [
    ...
    { rel: "stylesheet", href: sledgeCss },
    ...
  ];
};
 
export default function App() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <Meta />
        <Links />
      </head>
      <body>
        <SledgeProvider
          config={{
            userId: "",
            userEmail: "",
            userFullname: "",
            domain: ""
          }}
        >
          {/* Routes, Pages, etc */}
        </SledgeProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

`SledgeProvider` Parameters

Let's look on list of all available parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
userId	string	Fill with your own user logined data, You can check out the example code

Install one of the Sledge's widget

We're going to try implement product filters widget so install @sledge-app/react-instant-search package first :

npm i @sledge-app/react-instant-search

Implement Widget

Create a new directory for your components (if it doesn't already exist).

For example, you can create a directory named components and create a file named SledgeProductFilterWidget.tsx.

- SledgeProductFilterWidget.tsx

app/components/SledgeProductFilterWidget.tsx

import { ProductFilterWidget } from "@sledge-app/react-instant-search";
import { parseGid } from "@shopify/hydrogen";
 
export const SledgeProductFilterWidget = ({
  collection,
}: {
  collection: { id: string; name: string; };
}) => (
  <div key={collection?.id}>
    <ProductFilterWidget
      query={{
        keyword: "q",
      }}
      params={{
        collectionId: Number(parseGid(collection?.id).id),
        collectionName: collection?.name,
      }}
    />
  </div>
);

`ProductFilterWidget` Parameters

Let's look on list of all available parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
keyword	string	Fill up your unique `queryParam` name for keyword. e.g: `https://your-online-store.com/collection/all?q=hoodie` Default: `q`
collectionId	string (required)	Fill with your own collection id, You can check out the example code
collectionName	string (required)	Fill with your own collection name, You can check out the example code

Create collections route

Create a new route for your collections page named collections.$handle.tsx

- collections.$handle.tsx

In collections.$handle.tsx, import your SledgeProductFilterWidget.tsx component and use it to render ProductFilterWidget

app/routes/collections.$handle.tsx

import { SledgeProductFilterWidget } from "~/components/SledgeProductFilterWidget";
import { useLoaderData } from "@remix-run/react";
import { defer, LoaderArgs } from "@shopify/remix-oxygen";
 
export async function loader({ params, context }: LoaderArgs) {
  const { handle } = params;
  const { collection } = await context.storefront.query(COLLECTION_QUERY, {
    variables: {
      handle,
    },
  });
 
  return defer({
    collection,
  });
}
 
export default function Collections() {
  const { collection } = useLoaderData<typeof loader>();
 
  return <SledgeProductFilterWidget collection={collection} />;
}
 
const COLLECTION_QUERY = `#graphql
  query CollectionDetails($handle: String!) {
    collection(handle: $handle) {
      id
      title
      description
      handle
    }
  }
`;

Add a content security policy

On store site, open browser devtools (opens in a new tab) › Network tab.
If store success to fetch sledge api you can skip this step.

app/entry.server.tsx

...
const {nonce, header, NonceProvider} = createContentSecurityPolicy({
  connectSrc: [
    "'self'",
    'http://api.sledge-app.com',
    'https://api.sledge-app.com',
    '*',
  ],
  defaultSrc: [
    'https://shopify.com',
    'http://api.sledge-app.com',
    'https://api.sledge-app.com',
    'data:',
    'blob:',
    '*',
  ],
  imgSrc: ['*', 'https://api.sledge-app.com', 'data:'],
});
...

If createContentSecurityPolicy does not exist on your Hydrogen app, follow this shopify docs (opens in a new tab) for adding a content security policy.
