Wishlist initialization

The Wishlist initializer configures wishlist functionality including saving items, sharing lists, and managing multiple wishlists. Use initialization to customize wishlist behavior and data models.

Version: 2.0.1

Configuration options

The following table describes the configuration options available for the Wishlist initializer:

ParameterTypeReq?Description
langDefinitionslangDefinitionsNoLanguage definitions for internationalization (i18n). Override dictionary keys for localization or branding.
modelsmodelsNoCustom data models for type transformations. Extend or modify default models with custom fields and transformers.
isGuestWishlistEnabledbooleanNoConfiguration for isGuestWishlistEnabled.

Basic initialization

Initialize the drop-in with default settings:

import { initializers } from '@dropins/tools/initializer.js';
import { initialize } from '@dropins/storefront-wishlist';
await initializers.mountImmediately(initialize, {});

Language definitions

Override dictionary keys for localization or branding. The langDefinitions object maps locale keys to custom strings that override the drop-in’s default text.

import { initializers } from '@dropins/tools/initializer.js';
import { initialize } from '@dropins/storefront-wishlist';
const customStrings = {
'AddToCart': 'Add to Bag',
'Checkout': 'Complete Purchase',
'Price': 'Cost',
};
const langDefinitions = {
default: customStrings,
};
await initializers.mountImmediately(initialize, { langDefinitions });

Customizing data models

Extend or transform data models by providing custom transformer functions. Use the models option to add custom fields or modify existing data structures returned from the backend.

The following example shows how to customize the CustomModel model for the Wishlist drop-in:

import { initializers } from '@dropins/tools/initializer.js';
import { initialize } from '@dropins/storefront-wishlist';
const models = {
CustomModel: {
transformer: (data) => ({
// Add custom fields from backend data
customField: data?.custom_field,
promotionBadge: data?.promotion?.label,
// Transform existing fields
displayPrice: data?.price?.value ? `$${data.price.value}` : 'N/A',
}),
},
};
await initializers.mountImmediately(initialize, { models });

Available models

The following models can be customized through the models configuration option:

Drop-in-specific configuration

The Wishlist drop-in provides additional configuration options beyond the standard langDefinitions and models. These options customize drop-in-specific behaviors and features.

import { initializers } from '@dropins/tools/initializer.js';
import { initialize } from '@dropins/storefront-wishlist';
await initializers.mountImmediately(initialize, {
// Drop-in-specific configuration
isGuestWishlistEnabled: true,
});

Configuration types

The following TypeScript definitions show the structure of each configuration object:

langDefinitions

langDefinitions?: {
[locale: string]: {
[key: string]: string;
};
};

models

models?: {
[modelName: string]: Model<any>;
};
