A collection setting can be set to all products.
Changelog
The latest improvements to the YouCan ecosystem.
Liquid visible_if conditions
visible_if accepts a Liquid string. A theme with a Liquid condition can be imported, and the setting is always shown in the theme editor.
Placeholder illustrations
Themes can show placeholder illustrations with the placeholder_svg_tag filter.
Render, include and paginate fixes
with, for and as now work on render, include renders snippets, and the older paginate form now sets the paginate object.
Theme file checks and required files
Every theme file is checked when it is saved. If a save is rejected, you get the list of errors with their file and line. Themes must contain a layout and nine templates. The doc tag is supported.
Customer accounts
Themes can render the customer account pages: login, register, password reset, account, orders and addresses. A customer object describes the logged in customer, and the storefront API has customer endpoints for login, logout and password recovery.
Inline Liquid errors
When a Liquid error occurs, only the failed part of the page is replaced with the error, its file and its line. In the code editor, syntax errors are marked on their line.
Liquid loops and filters
for loops take an else block, the sum filter adds numbers, and json prints numbers, booleans and nil as JSON values.
Section rendering
You can get one or more sections of a storefront page without the rest of the page, with section_id and sections.
Storefront forms and search
The form tag covers the cart, coupons, reviews and express checkout, and every form works without JavaScript. The search page has a search object.
Collection and product listings
Themes can list products and collections without a setting for each one: collections, collection.products, all_products, and a paginate tag for any of these lists.
Liquid object values
first and last work inside a path, {% dump %} and json print the values of objects, and a missing metafield is nil.
Theme schema names and JSON comments
Section schemas, blocks, presets and settings groups take a name, the category setting is now collection, and the layout folder is layout/. JSON theme files accept comments and trailing commas.
New theme setting types
Themes can use the text_alignment, inline_richtext and link_list setting types, and link lists have a handle.
Theme info and Liquid tag fixes
settings_schema.json can declare the theme's name, author, version and support links in a theme_info entry. The liquid, echo and dump tags are fixed, and theme files are checked on save.
Metafield write rules
Only apps can create, update or delete metafields, and only in the namespace equal to their app handle.
Abandoned carts
New endpoints and a REST hook event expose a store's abandoned carts.
Partial product updates
POST /products/update/{id} now updates only the fields you send. name, price and has_variants are no longer required.
MCP server
The YouCan MCP server connects AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code to a store, at https://mcp.youcan.shop.
Store image library endpoints
New endpoints list and upload images in the store image library. POST /media/{source}/upload-image is deprecated.
