data-ajax-cart-property-input

Add the data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute to a line item property input, a cart note input or a cart attribute input to ajaxify them: once a user changes the input’s value, Liquid Ajax Cart will send a Shopify Cart API request to update the cart.

The request will be sent on input’s change event and if a user presses the Enter key within the input field or Ctrl+Enter for a textarea element.

If a user presses the Esc key within the input, its value will be reset to the current item’s quantity according to the State object.

The data-ajax-cart-property-input input fields become disabled when there is a Shopify Cart API request in progress (if the State’s status.requestInProgress property is true);

The data-ajax-cart-property-input supports textual input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, select and textarea elements.

Line item property

The data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute’s value should be line_item_index[property_name] or line_item_key[property_name] for a line item property input:

<form action="{{ routes.cart_url }}" method="post" data-ajax-cart-section>
  {% for item in cart.items %}
    {% assign item_index = forloop.index %}
    <div><a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.title }}</a></div>
    
    {% for property in item.properties %}
      <div>
        {{ property.first }}:
        {% if property.first == 'Engraving' %}

          <!-- Ajaxified line item property text input -->
          <input type="text"
            value="{{ property.last }}" 
            data-ajax-cart-property-input="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]"/>

        {% elsif property.first == 'Position' %}

          <!-- Ajaxified line item property select -->
          <select 
            id="engraving_position" 
            data-ajax-cart-property-input="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]">
              <option value="">Not selected</option>
              {% assign suggested_positions = 'Left|Center|Right' | split: '|' %}
              {% for position in suggested_positions %}
                <option value="{{ position }}" {% if position == property.last %} selected {% endif %}>{{ position }}</option>
              {% endfor %}
          </select>

        {% elsif property.first == 'Package' %}

          <!-- Ajaxified line item property radio group -->
          {% assign suggested_packages = 'Red|Green|Blue' | split: '|' %}
          {% for package in suggested_packages %}
            <label>
              <input 
                type="radio" 
                name="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]" 
                value="{{ package }}" 
                data-ajax-cart-property-input="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]"
                {% if package == property.last %} checked {% endif %} /> 
              {{ package }}
            </label>
          {% endfor %}

        {% elsif property.first == 'Is a gift' %}

          <!-- Ajaxified line item property checkbox -->
          <label>
            <!-- Value when the checkbox unchecked -->
            <input type="hidden" value="No" data-ajax-cart-property-input="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]">
            <!-- The checkbox itself -->
            <input 
              type="checkbox" 
              value="Yes"
              data-ajax-cart-property-input="{{ item_index }}[{{ property.first }}]"
              {% if property.last == 'Yes' %} checked {% endif %} />
            Is a gift
          </label>

        {% else %}
          {{ property.last }}
        {% endif %}
      </div>
    {% endfor %}
  {% endfor %}
</form>

Cart attribute

The data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute’s value should be attributes[attribute_name]. If you apply the data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute to a form control with a correct name attribute then you can leave the data-ajax-cart-property-input value empty:

<form action="{{ routes.cart_url }}" method="post" data-ajax-cart-section>
  <!-- ... -->

  <div>
    <label for="cartAttributePackageText">Package text</label>

    <!-- Ajaxified cart attribute text input.
    The data-ajax-cart-property-input is empty 
    because there is a correct input name attribute -->
    <input data-ajax-cart-property-input
      type="text" 
      id="cartAttributePackageText"
      name="attributes[Package text]" 
      value="{{ cart.attributes['Package text'] }}"
      class="my-cart__input my-cart__input--property" />
  </div>

  <div>
    <label for="cartAttributeDeliveryDay">Delivery day</label>

    <!-- Ajaxified cart attribute select.
    The data-ajax-cart-property-input is empty 
    because there is a correct input name attribute -->
    <select data-ajax-cart-property-input
      name="attributes[Delivery day]" 
      id="cartAttributeDeliveryDay">
        {% assign suggested_days = 'Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday' | split: '|' %}
        <option value=""
          {% unless suggested_days contains cart.attributes['Delivery day'] %} selected {% endunless %}>
          Any day
        </option>
        {% for day in suggested_days %}
          <option 
            value="{{ day }}" 
            {% if day == cart.attributes['Delivery day'] %} selected {% endif %}>
            {{ day }}
          </option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
  </div>

  <div>
    <div>Delivery time</div>

    <!-- Ajaxified cart attribute radio group.
    The data-ajax-cart-property-input are empty 
    because there are correct input name attributes -->
    {% assign suggested_time = 'Any time|Day time|Evening' | split: '|' %}
    {% for time in suggested_time %}
      <label>
        <input data-ajax-cart-property-input
          name="attributes[Delivery time]" 
          type="radio" 
          value="{{ time }}" 
          {% if cart.attributes['Delivery time'] == time %} checked {% endif %}>
        {{ time }}
      </label>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>

  <div>
    <!-- Ajaxified cart attribute checkbox.
    The data-ajax-cart-property-input are empty 
    because there are correct input name attributes -->
    <label>
      <!-- Value when the checkbox unchecked -->
      <input data-ajax-cart-property-input
        name="attributes[Leave at the door]"
        type="hidden" 
        value="">
      <!-- The checkbox itself -->
      <input data-ajax-cart-property-input
        type="checkbox" 
        name="attributes[Leave at the door]" 
        value="Yes"
        {% if cart.attributes['Leave at the door'] == 'Yes' %} checked {% endif %}>
      Leave at the door
    </label>
  </div>

  <!-- ... -->
</form>

If the form controls in the above example didn’t have correct name attributes then data-ajax-cart-property-input attributes would must have values:

<!-- Ajaxified cart attribute text input -->
<input data-ajax-cart-property-input="attributes[Package text]"
  type="text" 
  id="cartAttributePackageText"
  value="{{ cart.attributes['Package text'] }}"
  class="my-cart__input my-cart__input--property" />
<!-- Ajaxified cart attribute select -->
<select data-ajax-cart-property-input="attributes[Delivery day]" 
  id="cartAttributeDeliveryDay">
  <!-- ... -->
</select>
<!-- Ajaxified cart attribute radio button -->
<input data-ajax-cart-property-input="attributes[Delivery time]" 
  name="random_name"
  type="radio" 
  value="{{ time }}" 
  {% if cart.attributes['Delivery time'] == time %} checked {% endif %}>
<!-- Ajaxified cart attribute checkbox -->
<input data-ajax-cart-property-input="attributes[Leave at the door]"
  type="hidden" 
  value="">
<input data-ajax-cart-property-input="attributes[Leave at the door]"
  type="checkbox" 
  value="Yes"
  {% if cart.attributes['Leave at the door'] == 'Yes' %} checked {% endif %}>

Cart note

The data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute’s value should be note. If you apply the data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute to a form control with the name="note" attribute then you can leave the data-ajax-cart-property-input value empty:

<form action="{{ routes.cart_url }}" method="post" data-ajax-cart-section>
  <!-- ... -->

  <label for="cartNote">Cart note</label>

  <!-- Ajaxified cart note textarea.
  The data-ajax-cart-property-input is empty 
  because there is correct textarea name attribute -->
  <textarea data-ajax-cart-property-input 
    name="note"
    id="cartNote">
      {{ cart.note }}
  </textarea>

  <!-- ... -->
</form>

If the form controls in the above example didn’t have correct name attribute then the data-ajax-cart-property-input attribute would must have note value:

<!-- Ajaxified cart note textarea -->
<textarea data-ajax-cart-property-input="note" id="cartNote">
  {{ cart.note }}
</textarea>
