Featured collection slider for Dawn Theme Shopify 2.0

Featured collection slider for Dawn Theme Shopify 2.0

This might not work with the updated Dawn Theme. If you just added Dawn theme, please check this code instead here. 

We created a variant slider in the product page recently. See link. We can easily use the logic for the collection slider but if we notice, we rather just use the featured collection available as a section. 

In this tutorial, we will create a collection slider using the featured collection. We just have to do some customization. 

 

  1. Go to your Online store > Themes > Actions > Edit code
  2. Go to Section folder and create a section, we will name it "collection-slider"
  3. In the new section, paste the code below, then click SAVE

{{ 'component-card.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-price.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-product-grid.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'collection-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ 'template-collection.css' | asset_url }}" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">
<noscript>{{ 'template-collection.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}</noscript>

assign products_to_display = section.settings.collection.all_products_count

      4.  Go to Asset folder, create a new folder, name it "collection-slider"

      5. Open the newly created .css folder and paste the code below, then click SAVE

 .slider-container {
padding: 0 3rem;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
display: flex;
flex-flow: column wrap;
align-items: center;
position: relative;
}


ul {
padding-inline-start: 0px !important;
}

slider-component {
position: relative;
display: block;
width:100%;
}

.slider__slide {
scroll-snap-align: start;
flex-shrink: 0;
}

.product-slider-box {
flex-wrap: inherit;
overflow-x: auto;
scroll-snap-type: x mandatory;
scroll-behavior: smooth;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
}

.product-slider {
height: 100%;
width: calc(50% - .5rem / 2) !important;
display: inline-block;
}


.slide-image {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}


@media screen and (max-width: 989px) {
.grid__item {
padding-left: 1rem;
}
}
/* navigation slider */

.slider-buttons {
display: flex !important;
}

.slider {
scrollbar-color: rgb(var(--color-foreground)) rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.04);
-ms-overflow-style: none;
scrollbar-width: none;
}

.slider::-webkit-scrollbar {
height: 0.4rem;
width: 0.4rem;
display: none;
}

.no-js .slider {
-ms-overflow-style: auto;
scrollbar-width: auto;
}

.no-js .slider::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: initial;
}

.slider::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-color: rgb(var(--color-foreground));
border-radius: 0.4rem;
border: 0;
}

.slider::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.04);
border-radius: 0.4rem;
}

.slider-counter {
margin: 0 1.2rem;
}

.slider-buttons {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}

.slider-button {
color: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.75);
background: transparent;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
width: 44px;
height: 44px;
}

.slider-button:not([disabled]):hover {
color: rgb(var(--color-foreground));
}


.slider-button .icon {
height: 0.6rem;
}

.slider-button[disabled] .icon {
color: rgba(var(--color-foreground), 0.3);
}

.slider-button--next .icon {
margin-right: -0.2rem;
transform: rotate(-90deg) translateX(0.15rem);
}

.slider-button--prev .icon {
margin-left: -0.2rem;
transform: rotate(90deg) translateX(-0.15rem);
}

.slider-button--next:not([disabled]):hover .icon {
transform: rotate(-90deg) translateX(0.15rem) scale(1.07);
}

.slider-button--prev:not([disabled]):hover .icon {
transform: rotate(90deg) translateX(-0.15rem) scale(1.07);
}

 

   6. We need to go to the Asset folder again. Open the global.js file and find the slider-component. At the connstructor, lets add this code below

     this.productSlider = this.querySelector('.product-slider-box');

 

  7. At the initPages section, replace the this.totalPages with the code below

 if (this.productSlider) { this.totalPages = sliderItemsToShow.length - this.slidesPerPage + 4} else {
this.totalPages = sliderItemsToShow.length - this.slidesPerPage + 1;
}

   8.  At the update() section, replace the this.currentPage with the code below

  if (this.productSlider) {this.currentPage = Math.round(this.slider.scrollLeft / this.sliderLastItem.clientWidth) + 4} else {
this.currentPage = Math.round(this.slider.scrollLeft / this.sliderLastItem.clientWidth) + 1;
}

 

Your code at global.js should look like below

 That's it. Let me know if you have questions (",)

 

Updated 10/19/21: For issues with the image has a different height with the ones, I simply delete this code below. 

 .grid--peek .grid__item:first-of-type {
padding-left: 0 !important;
}

Updated 11/12/21: Added a product-limit range. See code in blue.

Updated 11/24/21: Added a show all button. See the section settings to click the show all button. See code in green.
