data-ajax-cart-initial-state

An attribute which helps Liquid Ajax Cart find the user cart data during initialization.

How it works

Liquid Ajax Cart needs to know user cart state: what products are in the cart, what total price is, what discounts are applied etc.

To provide this data, you should convert the Shopify cart object to JSON format and wrap it in the script tag with the data-ajax-cart-initial-state attribute.

{% comment %} Somewhere in layout/theme.liquid {% endcomment %}

<script type="application/json" data-ajax-cart-initial-state >
  {{ cart | json }}
</script>

If Liquid Ajax Cart doesn’t find the data-ajax-cart-initial-state script, it performs a Shopify Cart API Ajax request to get the cart state.
