Product

Extends Object. Product objects appear throughout an Evance shop and support a number of product types - primarily physical or virtual/digital goods. A "product" variable containing a Product object is automatically instantiated on URLs governed by the product controller.

<body>
    <div>
        <h1>{{ product.title }}</h1>
    </div>
</body>

You can gain access to any product within your shop when creating a new Product instance.

<body>
    <div>
        <h1>{{ product.title }}</h1>
    </div>
    
    <?ev var productA = new Product('/product/product-a'); ?>
    
    <h2>{{ productA.title }}</h2>
    <p>{{ productA.description }}</p>
</body>

Note: hard coding URLs in this manner can be open to error if URLs don't exist. If however the URL for a product did exist, but a user changed it within Product settings, Evance will attempt to load the product from its historical URL. It is however very unusual to load a single product in this manner.

Instantiation

Accessing any Product in your shop can be achieved from anywhere within your website and not just from a Product governed page. This can be done by instantiating a new Product object and supplying the page's URL or ID:


<?ev
    // new Product() class method
    var product = new Product('/product/path-to-product');
?>

Construct parameters
reference	Type String, Url or Number The page reference is either a String/Url representing the URL relative to root or a Number representing the product.id. For international and multi-lingual sites you should use the default URL as the reference for the product and not the localised version. Evance will automatically correct the URL format for you once the Product object is retrieved.
