Lifestyle

Lifestyle is Shplazza's reference theme, which is built for performance, flexibility, and ease of use. It uses features, including JSON templates, which support blocks and sections on all pages. Lifestyle is used as the basis of all free Shoplazza themes.

Lifestyle is an ultra-lightweight, mobile-first theme that uses atomic components, minimal JavaScript, and an opinionated set of features. It maximizes flexibility for merchants, while minimizing complexity.

Explore example theme components

Shoplazza theme architecture is flexible and can be implemented in different ways to support your merchant's goals, or meet the needs of a certain merchant segment.

If you're new to Shoplazza themes or want to understand how certain architectural components can be used, then you can explore the Lifestyle implementation of the component.

Because Lifestyle already has JSON templates for all of its pages, you can use it as a model when adding sections to your own theme.

If a component is implemented in Lifestyle, then its implementation is linked from the component documentation.

Clone Lifestyle and build

You can use Lifestyle as a starting point to build your own theme. If you're using Shoplazza CLI for theme development, then you can use the init command to clone the repository to your local machine. You can also clone Lifestyle directly from the repository.

This process is documented in the Create a theme tutorial.
