And yet another release by ScandiPWA dev team!

Check the feature breakdown to learn what's new in ScandiPWA 2.9.:

Improved navigation

Bottom navigation is here! It works the same way as the header navigation did previously, at the same time it is more user-friendly.

Top navigation was made for identifying the location and navigating between history. You can now mostly go back, close, see the title there.

One important change in the top navigation — the logo got removed from it on mobile.

Learn more about improved navigation here.

Main features of the menu:

  1. “Menu” tab behaves like a separate tab — you can play around the app and return to it at any time. It will remember where you left!
  2. It is hidable — for example, in checkout.
  3. It supports appearing and disappearing on scroll.

Notifications

The new type has been added: info, now the full list of types are as follows: error, success, info.

These elements now look as follows:

Along with the addition of info notification, multiple places were edited, to show the notifications of that type, instead of error. Addition to wish-list, in some case cart.

Terms and conditions in checkout

You can now configure terms and conditions in: Stores -> Configuration -> Sales -> Checkout (see more in wiki)

Animations and transitions

Image zoom

Is made using react-zoom-pan-pinch. Works via pinch on a phone, and by scroll on a desktop. The message has been added to the image gallery, with a call-to-action to scroll.

DataContainer — fetching container

The logic of fetching with temporary caching logic is now available as a part of a container — DataContainer. When inherited, the method fetchData becomes available.
