magicCookies for Shopify

aka. return to collection you added product to cart from

• Uses JavaScript Cookie
• Sets magicCookies as the .noConflict namespace (see here)

What does it do?

If you'd like to have your Customer return from their Cart to the Collection page they last visited, this will do the trick.

Installation

Add class="continue-shopping" to relevant links in your cart.liquid Template and then add the following include at the bottom of your theme.liquid Template:

{% include 'magicCookies' %}

---

Here's a peek at the code inside the Snippet:

{% case template %}
  {% when 'collection' or 'product' %}
    {{ 'js.cookie.min.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}
    <script type="text/javascript">
      Cookies.set('collection', '{{ collection.handle }}');
    </script>
  {% when 'cart' %}
    {{ 'js.cookie.min.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var magicCookiesCollection = Cookies.get('collection');
      if (magicCookiesCollection === undefined || magicCookiesCollection === null || magicCookiesCollection === '') {
        Cookies.set('collection', 'all');
        var magicCookiesCollection = Cookies.get('collection');
      }
      var magicCookiesTargetLinks = document.getElementsByClassName('continue-shopping');
      for ( var i in magicCookiesTargetLinks ) {
        if ( magicCookiesTargetLinks[i].className && magicCookiesTargetLinks[i].className.indexOf('continue-shopping') != -1 ) {
          magicCookiesTargetLinks[i].href = ("\/collections\/") + magicCookiesCollection;
        }
      }
    </script>
{% endcase %}

Note, you can also use CDNJS if you'd rather not host the js.cookie.min.js file along with your theme:

Replace:

{{ 'js.cookie.min.js' | asset_url | script_tag }}

With:

{{ 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.0.3/js.cookie.min.js' | script_tag }}

Dependencies

• JavaScript Cookie v2.0.3
