Hi guys,

What is the recommended approach for configuring a switch between Grid view and List view in Swift?

Is there anything close to standard or do I have to be creative?

Thank you,
Adrian

No recommended way.

You can use Notifications.Ecommerce.ProductCatalog.OnBeforeProductListRender and change the template insance on the args object to be either grid or list depending on your needs.

You might be able to create 2 different list pages in Swift using components and then hook into some of the JS events in Swift and switch between those 2 pages.

Hi Nicolai,

Understood.

I was afraid of this answer :)

I will probably go with 2 components for the lists and control their display with a cookie or session variable.

Will investigate further.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Nicolai,

I ended up creating a new Component paragraph with 2 component properties (one for Grid and one for List).

In the template, based on a cookie property, we switch between the 2 components.

It seems very close to standard and it does not require extensive backend development.

Maybe it worths considering this as a standard approach for Swift if you don't have another alternative.

Thank you,
Adrian

Nope, not for Swift - old world :-).
