Building a custom search landing page

:sparkles: Branch: landing

Introduction

In the previous step, we looked at creating a custom template. In scenarios involving promotions and commemorative dates, it's quite common to create special landing pages.

Custom searches

We saw that the search deduces what is needed from the given context. On a custom page however, the context doesn't exist and you need to state which query should be performed to get the results. All this is made possible by the search-result-layout.customQuery.

Query schema

The query schema is one of the custom query search result props that allows you to control the search that the landing page should run. To know more the query schema's possibilities, read through its documentation.

Activity

1. Define a new path (store.custom#landing) in routes.json;

   "store.custom#landing": {
     "path": "/landing"
   }

2. Create a new file called search-landing.jsonc in the blocks folder;

3. Create a new custom template entitled store.custom#landing;

4. Define the image block as one of this template's blocks. This block must have minWidth props of 100% and an image of your choosing.

5. Repeat the same with search-result-layout.customQuery:

   {
     "store.custom#landing": { 
       "blocks": [
         "image#landingbanner", 
         "search-result-layout.customQuery"
       ]
     }
   }

6. Define the search-result-layout.customQuery block as the querySchema prop that:

   • Sorts by latest release date;
   • Hides unavailable items;
   • Displays a max of 8 items per page;
   • Uses "Blue Top Retro Camera" as query.
