And we are back, ladies and gentlemen :clap:

Long time no see... really missed you guys! I'm sure that you've missed us too, right? RIGHT :smirk:

2019 was a special, intense and long year, full of learnings for each and every one of us, that's for sure. But the time has come to aim above and beyond to greatness. Therefore, make sure to keep up-to-date with the IO Release Notes! It's the only way to keep up with everything that we're dutifully preparing for you.

2020, here we are. And here we go:

Features :rocket:

  • Minicart v2 - A brand new Minicart is up and running, much more optimized and flexible that it's former version. For a look at the reasons why you'll want to migrate asap, check out the documentation

  • Block's composition - This one here is truly mind-blowing so listen closely: within a block's children array, you can now declare any block you choose. That's right! When setting a block as another's child, forget about the allowed blocks list. Declare whatever block you want. But remember: this only works for the children array. Blocks declared in the blocks array will remain limited to the famous list of block parent's allowed blocks

  • Store Link app - An app that allows you to create and display links that automatically consume context from other blocks. Sounds confusing? It is actually simple and amazing. Just give a look at the Store Link documentation

  • JivoChat - Integrate your store with the JivoChat solution using the JivoChat pixel app, available now just a click away from you

  • Listrak - More pixel apps to come! You are now also able to natively integrate with the Listrak solution

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • Site Editor - Our beloved admin's Site Editor now allows you to configure some of the many Shelf (maxItems, arrows, showTitle, titleText, minItemsPerPage, itemsPerPage and paginationDotsVisibility) and Slider Layout (navigationStep, itemsPerPage and autoplay) props

  • Search Results Filters - The new facetsBehavior prop only allows you to display filters with actual search results in the Search Result page. No more misleadings. Yay!

  • Product Summary image - Choose which product image will be shown in the Product Summary Image block thanks to the new mainImageLabel prop

  • CSS Handles - More CSS Handles for several apps, among which: Stack Layout, Product Summary, Search Result, Menu, Minicart, Flex Layout) and ALL store icons. We're seriously not kidding around when it comes to Handles... do not forget to check out each related documentation

  • SKU Selector - Previously, the showValueNameForImageVariation prop did not serve every scenario it is was meant to because it only indicated a variation's value if it was an image type. It was replaced with a prop, namely the showValueForVariation, that encompasses even more scenarios, that is, it now indicates variation's value of all types (image and others!). Do not forget to give the documentation a quick sneak peak to understand the prop's behavior

  • SKU Selector do Product Summary - The possibility to add a slider in the Product Summary SKU Selector to make user navigation easier has just become reality thanks to the new displayMode prop

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Search Results ordering - It's always a good idea to improve the Search Results page. Now, sorting products by "Relevance" takes the score field value set in the admin's Catalog into consideration

  • SKU Selector ordering - We're really putting our house in order in 2020: the SKU Selector now respects the position given to SKU specifications values defined in the admin's catalog, displaying everything according to the retailer's order preference

  • Product Impression event - Previously, Product Impression events faced a problem: whenever the Shelf was hovered over, the event triggered the store’s google analytics informing that all Shelf products had been seen by the user, even those that were hidden by the SKU Selector’s slider. This is now changed: only products that the user in fact hovered over are sent by the event

VTEX IO Release Notes - December 2019

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout and I'm telling you why: Release Notes (once again) is coming to town!

Given the holiday's never ending glee (and the 117 Fahrenheit if you're in Brazil :sun_with_face:) that December bestows upon us all, the Christmasy Release Notes comes in an exclusive format this last month of the year, bringing the best and latest of the past few weeks.

You can call me Santa Claus 'cause once you've read everything you'll feel like you've just found a Christmas tree loaded with goodies :christmas_tree: There are so many amazing releases bundled together that I bet you'll go through them as fast as 2019 went by...

New features :rocket:

  • Reviews and Ratings - Finally! A product review and rating solution to call our own!!! Say goodbye to the old third-party solution you were using and cast your eyes on this new release.
  • Publish command - If you take a deep breath, you can catch a whiff the A/B tests in the air. That’s because the Publish command from 01/02/2020 on will change its functionality and more steps will be added to the process of publishing an app on the platform. Everything to say goodbye to potential instabilities and to foster a culture of tests among our beloved devs.
  • Challenge Trade Policy Condition - This release was so necessary that you don't even have to be into B2B to rejoice with us: now, you can establish conditional rules to determine whether a user can or cannot access the content of a given trade policy.
  • Blocks on Site Editor - We won't deny it... we love it when the Site Editor has a new release. This one's amazing: three more of your store's components can be edited using the Site Editor's admin: Search Bar placeholder, Minicart Icon Label and Product Description title.

Deprecation :x:

  • Declaring blocks stemming from indirect dependencies - This one was already released and announced, but it's worth letting the crew know once more: Store Builder now requires all blocks that are used in the construction of a store's theme to be defined by the app's direct dependencies, meaning that declaring blocks stemming from indirect dependencies is no longer allowed.

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • SKU Selector - Retailers always want power and control over their blocks. Not that I'm judging them, since they're more than right to want as much flexibility as possible for their stores. Therefore, meeting demand, new SKU Selector props (initialSelection and displayMode) are now here to get rid of block rigidity.
  • Minicart - If there is one thing that a store can always improve upon, it's user experience. The new Minicart openOnHover prop is here to make that point.
  • CSS Handles - We get a fuzzy feeling inside whenever a CSS Handles release is nearby! Have a look at our blocks that gained new Handles and are ready to be fully customized: Menu, Flexible Search Result and Product Price.

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Brands on Product Related Shelf - The Product Related Shelf product brands were not rendered in the same way as the classic Shelf products. This fix removed this Brand ID preference. Product brand now appear on Product Related Shelves as well, without being discriminated against.
  • Active thumbnail on Product Image - The CSS Handle active, responsible for customizing thumbnails of images that were selected in the Product Details Page, was ignoring the thumbnail selection. Oh my dear active, you had but one job to do! The Handle was only keeping the configured customization for the first image on the list, even if users had selected another image. This has come to an end and the customization now respects the user's power of choice. Hoo-rah!
  • Filter clearing on Mobile - What purpose does the Clear button serve on a Filter? Clearing all the applied filters, right? But it seemed that Clear was the only one not understanding that. The button didn't clear anything, leaving users with the same active filters as before. With this bug fix, the Clear button now does what it was meant to do.
  • Filter Sidebar on Mobile - When choosing the desired filters for mobile and clicking on Apply, the sidebar remained open without serving any purpose to users. If there was bug to be fixed there, it seems it had to do with the mobile Filter. It's now perfect for use: the sidebar's behavior was remedied and it's now closing as expected after clicking on apply.
  • Bazaar Voice - Previously, the Bazaar Voice was failing to properly function for the trackTransaction event. This led to prices not being sent correctly and to lack of visibility for retailers. How very sad! Everything's back to blossoming for the Bazaar Voice review and sent prices.

Words cannot express how glad we are to have you with us on this journey! Here's to next year and to the incredible releases that awaity :beers:

Happy Holidays!

2019-12-12

Hey, team! Our December Release Notes will be out of the oven very soon with all the baked goodies ready to lift the Holiday spirits :christmas_tree:

Meanwhile, a few releases require more urgency and demand more focus from our users, as we'll see today.

Have a look good long look at the following breaking change to avoid future headaches:

Declaring blocks stemming from indirect dependencies

The Store Builder now requires all blocks that are used in the construction of a store theme to be defined by the direct dependencies of the app in which you are working, without exception.

What has changed

Prior to this release, an app could use blocks stemming from apps not declared as its dependency in the manifest.json.

To further understand this scenario, we'll consider the existence of three apps: A, B and C.

tree dependencies

According to the old scenario, app A could use blocks that were defined by app C once the latter is a direct dependent of app B and B a direct dependent of A.

Now, the Store Builder only looks at how a block is defined in the app's direct dependents list. This means that an app can only use blocks defined by apps that are declared as dependencies in its manifest.json.

Therefore, in our example above, app C can no longer export blocks to app A, because it can only use blocks that are defined by app B.

Why is this action being taken

Using blocks that were defined in direct and indirect dependencies freely led to app consistency problems.

As the Store Builder was searching throughout the entire dependencies tree (meaning indirect and direct dependencies) for the definition of the blocks that were used, it was possible for an app from this long list to define the same block as other apps. This in turn confused the Store Builder as to which version you wanted to export the desired block from.

In addition to conflicts that could, within the realm of possibility, be reversed, using a defined block in an app that wasn't declared in the manifest.json also meant increased fragility for the main app.

Following the same example with apps A, B and C above: it was possible for a developer working on app C to decide to remove a block used by app A, thereby breaking the template construction of the latter. According to the Store Builder's old behavior, the developer would not be aware of what other apps were exporting blocks due to an indirect relationship with C.

This release therefore allows for an app's behavior to become more predictable and resilient to errors, as all block that are used have their origin clearly stated and are controlled by the designated developer through the app's manifest.json.

Side effects

If you're still using indirect dependency blocks, you won't be able to link and publish the app in which you are working. Instead, the following error will be displayed:

error: App build failed with message: Error resolving block "store.product":
I couldn't find a block "product-reviews". You need to declare it or depend on an app that declares it.

What you need to do

Starting from this release, it is mandatory to declare in the in manifest.json all apps that define the blocks used in your theme.

Hey, team! Welcome to the Black VTEX IO Release Notes.

Yep, that's right. If this Friday is Black Friday, you can call us Black Release Notes this week because we are thrilled with this long awaited event being just around the corner.

Whether retailer or end user, I do hope that your checklist for this black week is ready, because mine is :heavy_check_mark: And guess what else? It envolves reading the entire Release Notes.

New features :rocket:

  • Site Editor - They say 1 is few, 2 is good and 3 is a party. If a release for the Site Editor is already incredible, picture 3? Check out the new Topbar, complete with tooltips and new modal texts for the admin section.

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • Platform performance - We always rejoice from performance improvements, and I promise you that this one involving data fetching is legit. Check out the VTEX IO performance improvement for week 45 and 46 of 2019.
  • Product Specifications - The Product Specifications visibleSpecifications and hiddenSpecifications props can now be edited using the admin's Site Editor. This Site Editor never tires of being a hero for code-less people, for real...
  • Breadcrumb - If you've had a good week, Breadcrumb had a better one! The component gained two new props (homeIconSize and caretIconSize), new Handles (homeLink and termArrow) and other improvements.
  • CSS Handles - The Breadcrumb was not the only one to have been gifted Handles this week. savingPriceValue and savingPriceLabel also had a lucky week and gained their own CSS Handles.
  • Search query - Shall we celebrate search query's independence from the facets query? Even when the latter doesn't return any results, the former renders data fetched by the productSearch query, providing users with search results regardless.
  • Search Result Gallery - During the Black Friday week, the e-commerce gods have bestowed the blessing upon the Gallery component, making it responsive and willing to accept different values for (almost) any existing device.
  • Search Result OrderBy - OrderBy’s new hiddenOptions prop does away with the component’s forced exhibitionism. Its options can now either be hidden or displayed according to the retailer’s chosen scenario.

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Filter Navigator - The release of the preventRouteChange prop in search result pages was [announced](link Release) during the last Release Notes and, believe it or not, was already cause for uncertainty. When a category was selected and then removed from the Filter Navigator, the URL was keeping the former category, showing inaccurate data to the user. This bug was already fixed and the prop is alive and well. Booyah!
  • Highlight resize - When editing a block with the admin's Site Editor, its height may change according to its new configurations, right? The problem was that the HighlightOverlay, responsible for highlighting the block was being edited on the Site Editor's interface, was shy and kept the original height, thereby impairing the display of the new configurations. It's now learned to be more receptive to change and adapts according to the block's new height.

VTEX IO Release Notes - Week 43&44/2019

Hey team! Another week is dawning!

The start of the week is always the perfect opportunity to set the pace for the week, month and even life, right? We always promise ourselves to start a new diet, or to better organize our tasks, come up with plans and so on...

Funny how we never seem to the energy to do these things on a Friday (we tend to have other priorities :smirk:).

Therefore, bask yourself in this fresh energy that only the start of the week can bestow upon us to make it through this week's Release Notes :muscle: You’ll understand why in just a second. It’s just that if there is anything you’ll need an abundant supply of in order to catch up with the latest IO updates, it’s energy to read through everything.

See for yourself:

New features :rocket:

  • Hotjar first party app - Forget custom HTML tags and rejoice from the services the Hotjar solution provides. A native integration of the solution with IO stores is now a reality thanks to this new 1st party app.
  • Carousel - The Carousel component block as we know it makes way for a new Carousel configuration that uses Slider Layout. The more component flexibility, the more customization options available to you!

Deprecation :x:

  • CSS Selectors - The wise Toolbelt has been warning us for the past few days, but you can also read about the deprecation of some Themes CSS selectors here. Check out the details and scenarios that are still allowed.

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • Platform performance - Platform performance improvements are something we always like and want. So give this release a good read to understand what weeks 43 and 44 of 2019 bring in terms of VTEX IO improvement key points.
  • Store PWA - Once on the Order Placed page, users want to follow their order’s status. A notice prompting the installation of your store’s PWA seems rather strategic at this point, wouldn’t you say? If you agree, then you'll definitely like this improvement.
  • Menu - If there's something that retailers like, it's code independence. And if there's something we like, it's to see happy retailers! A new configuration of the Menu block allows its content to be edited with Site Editor.
  • Image - Similar to the Menu, uploading Image component content can also be done using the Site Editor. Am I hearing fireworks?
  • SKU Selector - The SKU Selector is fully loaded this week: it can not only display exclusive images, but also be wholly displayed on the Shelf and even in the Search Results page. Check out the details here!

Are you still with us? I hope so, because there is more to come:

  • Product Specification - You can choose when and on which device to make the Product Specification content collapsible. So much control over a component can seem like fake news, but it's all true thanks to the new component's prop!
  • Product Summary - These past two weeks were not special just for the SKU Selector: the Product Summary didn't just gain a blockClass prop, but also a CSS Handle.
  • Product Summary Price - Who doesn't like to know how much they saved when buying a product? The Product Summary Price, knowing that the answer to that question is a resounding "everyone", now can display a product's absolute saving to users.
  • Search Results Page URL - The preventRouteChange prop expanded and what was valid only for custom pages is now valid for custom-less search result pages too. Apply any filters without worrying about changes to the page's path or structure.
  • Site Editor - GIFs. Yep, that's right. GIFs. G I F S are now properly working in Site Editor.

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Search Results page buttons - The Fetch previous and Show more buttons were vanishing after being clicked on when the previous search results page was either the first or last page with search results. Witchcraft you say? Whatever the case, we've fixed it. In these scenarios, page loading is now rendered before new results are displayed.
  • Structured data for unavailable products - Unavailable products didn't have their price filled into the page's structured data and were therefore being displayed as free in Google searches. Talk about communication failure :cold_sweat: No unavailable product page structured data will be sent to Google anymore, avoiding erroneous descriptions in the search results and customer confusion.
  • Two tabs Product Specifications - The Product Specification component was facing problems when configured to have two tabs. When expanding the first tab's content (by clicking on a show more button) and switching between tabs, users were confronted with a Show less button, as if they had already opted to expand that second tab as well. This scenario was corrected and the tabs now act independently :muscle:

Hey team! One more VTEX IO Release Notes coming your way.

In tune with the Halloween spirit, quick disclosure: more so than ghosts and zombies, my worst fear is not knowing what is going on with VTEX IO 😨 I'm betting you dread the same thing!

Therefore, take a deep breath, relax and banish your fears, because we have a new Release Notes and it's full of delicious treats:

New features :rocket:

  • Responsive Layout - Should we start calling ourselves the gods of layout components? The Responsive Layout allows different layouts per breakpoint! It is so awesome and versatile that you'll think it's really godlike.
  • New way to create CSS Handles - Devs, celebrate with me: this release is about a more advantageous, easy and brand new way to create CSS Handles for store components.

Deprecation ❌

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • Platform performance - Understand what were the VTEX IO performance improvement key points for week 41 and 42 of 2019.
  • CSS Handles - If you just knew just how much effort our team is putting into making CSS Handles a reality for all store components, you would go to sleep dreaming about CSS Classes. Check out our latest CSS Handles releases!
  • SKU Selector - New SKU Selector props that will allow you to define image height and width without needing to resort to CSS customization. Enhanced performance and practicality in a single improvement, a dream come true.
  • Product Summary - Did you enjoy the SKU Selector release? So check out our Product Summary release as well: more props to define image sizes!

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Buy Button redirect - The Buy Button should redirect the user to the PDP regardless of the SKU availability, since users must always know which SKU they are adding to the cart, right? But this wasn't what the button was doing before this fix! It added an SKU to the user's cart, by itself.

  • Price Range loading - Any change to the Price Range by the user now triggers a reload symbol, providing a better UX. In addition, the search result pagination now resets when any change to the component is performed. Before this bug fix, these two scenarios were not a reality... how awful!

  • mailto and tel tags in Menu Item - When editing your store's content with Site Editor, you might have come across the tel: and mailto: tags that could not be read as href in a menu item. Now, they are working as originally intended! At long last!

  • Tablet layout grid - The Search Result component layout dimensions were not responsive to Tablet devices. They took on mobile dimensions, leading to content decentralization and very weird blank columns on the screen. This layout bug has been fixed.

  • Similar categories in Breadcrumb - Similar categories to those of the product were being displayed in the Breadcrumb component. Nothing against similar categories, but Breadcrumb isn't the place for that, right? Only the main category tree is now displayed in the component, due to data being fetched in the product's categoryId.

  • Image thumbnail gallery arrows in PDP - On the Product Details Page, arrows in product thumbnail images were broken when in horizontal mode. These only worked correctly in vertically displayed images! The arrows now understand that they should properly function in both display directions and this bug has been fixed.

  • Site Editor infinite loading - To allow users to edit a store's blocks using an interface, Site Editor needed to query the code's up-to-date data. Whenever this query encountered an error, the loading symbol was forever displayed to the user, which became confused, poor soul! The loading has now been replaced with an error message, improving the Site Editor UX.

Welcome to the one and only VTEX IO Release Notes!

I bet that you've missed us these past couple weeks, but weep no more 🤗

Not only are we back, but we also have a proper explanation for turning off the lights for all this time: the VTEX IO Release Notes will have a new format from now on, being published every two weeks.

No need for the long face, team... a more extended publication time equals more time to bring together relevant content for you 🎉

Without further ado and with the given explanations, have a quick look at our key releases for weeks 39 and 40 of 2019:

:bell: Keep up with VTEX IO release notes! Just click on Releases only in the Watch box in the right upper corner of this page.

New features :rocket:

  • Store v2 Edition - No more headaches with manually installing store v2 compatible apps thanks to Store v2 Edition.
  • Pickup Availability - New feature for strengthening Omnichannel experience? Oh yeah! Check out the new Pickup Availability component.
  • Paging the Search Results - If agility is what you are searching for then this feature is for you. Now, the Search Results component provides a URL for each loaded search results page!
  • Stack Layout - Components overlapping other components. If this seems like something difficult, that's because you're unfamiliar with Stack Layout.
  • Tab Layout - What's better than one layout release? Two of them. The Tab Layout allow the construction of different layouts for your store's tabs.
  • Product Specification Badges - Specifications can define whether a user will or will not buy a certain SKU. Don't waste time and display them in badges with this new component!

Improvements :heavy_plus_sign:

  • Platform performance - Understand what the VTEX IO performance improvement key points were for week 39 and 40 of 2019.
  • URL field auto-fill - When creating a new page in the admin's Page section, the URL field will automatically propose a path according to the page's chosen title. Isn't it just magical?

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Negative discount badges - The DiscountBadge component was displaying negative discount badges, such as -0%, when the product was being sold at a higher price than its original one. This strange behavior is now fixed and the DiscountBadge is not displayed if the product's discount is less than 1%.
  • Attachment default values sent to Checkout - Product attachment default values were being sent to checkout as if users had chosen them, even though they had not. This scenario no longer occurs.
  • tel: Rich Text links attribute - Rich Texts can now interpret the HTML attribute tel: to create links for phone calls. Prior to this bug being fixed, this attribute was not interpreted (Rich Texts could only interpret the mailto attribute, used for sending e-mails).

Did you ever imagine two VTEX IO Release Notes in one week? we. are. on. fire 🔥

Hope you will be able to set some time aside from your busy workweek to catch up with VTEX IO one more time.

Check out our key releases for week 38 of 2019 below:

:bell: Keep up with VTEX IO release notes! Just click on Releases only in the Watch box in the right upper corner of this page.

New features :rocket:

  • Fold block - Can you decide which store's block will be loaded and rendered after the user scroll down? Yes, you can: simply use the Fold block!
  • GraphQL types import - Save your precious time while developing! From now on, easily import GraphQL types from one app to another.
  • Product Customizer component - ~(finally)~ Display product attachments in your product page using the Product Customizer component.

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Free products on Google Shopping - Products are no longer being displayed as free on Google Shopping since the issue in our structured data that caused this bug was fixed.
  • i18n key props - When editing i18n fields, some users were facing an issue with their key props. There were a few scenarios in which the i18n key itself was being rendered raw instead of having its value displayed. This PR solves this issue.
  • __provideRuntime cache = The __provideRuntime function called the Messages service every time changes to a component were performed by the user, such as changing the Shelf title. To improve request responsiveness (previously at ~2s), this PR adds a local cache that returns the messages and avoids making the request whenever possible.

Notable bug fixes :bug:

  • Site Editor HiglightOverlay component - Previously, when clicking on a block that did not exist in your store, the Site Editor's section iframe would not work due to an unexpected behavior of the HighlightOverlay component (responsible for displaying on the screen which component from the list the user is currently editing). This behavior was remedied.
  • Child block customization on Site Editor - Site Editor encountered rendering problems when users tried to edit a child block listed in a parent block. This fix enables the customization of blocks which are listed in another Site Editor block list to occur normally.

Welcome to yet another VTEX IO weekly release notes, this one being more than special because we are announcing the release of our brand new VTEX IO documentation website.

  • Google Tag Manager app events - Events sent by the Google Tag Manager app were inconsistent with regards to the sent ID, which sometimes pertained to the SKU while other times to the product. This fix ensures that all events are now sent using SKU IDs.
