Build a product page

tip

Hydrogen 2.0 is out now. These archival Hydrogen 1.0 docs are provided only to assist developers during their upgrade process. Please migrate as soon as possible.

Previously, you built a collection page. Your Hydrogen storefront sorts products within your collections, using server props and file-based routing. Now that you have a collections page that renders your products, you’re ready to build a product page.

In this tutorial, you'll build a page that shows detailed product information.

Scenario

You want to display detailed information about products on your custom storefront. The details that you provide for a product will affect the way that the product is displayed to customers, make it easier for you to organize your products, and make it easier for customers find the product.

By creating a product page, you can share information about a product with customers, including the product’s variants, description, and price. You’ll also be able to offer customers a way to purchase the product.

What you’ll learn

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to do the following tasks:

Create a products route.
Query products by their handle.
Generate SEO tags for product pages.
Implement Shopify Analytics on product pages.
Fetch the variants associated with a product.
Add a product gallery.
Create a variant selector for a product.
Add a Buy Now button to the product page.

Requirements

You’ve completed the build a collection page tutorial.

Sample code

If you want to quickly get started, then you can copy and paste the following code from each file into the corresponding files in your Hydrogen app. If the file doesn’t yet exist, then you can create it in your Hydrogen app. This tutorial describes the sample code step by step:

            />
          </div>
        );
      })}
    </div>
  );
}

Step 1: Create a products route

You can create a products route similar to how you previously created a collections route.

To begin building your product page, create a file called /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx that registers a new products route. Then, display the dynamic handle on the page within a layout component.

// /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx

import {
  useRouteParams,
} from "@shopify/hydrogen";

import { Layout } from "../../components/Layout.server";

export default function Product() {
  const { handle } = useRouteParams();

  return (
    <Layout>
      <section className="p-6 md:p-8 lg:p-12">
        This will be the product page for <strong>{handle}</strong>
      </section>
    </Layout>
  );
}

The products route is registered. Clicking a product takes you to a dynamic product page:

A dynamic product page

Step 2: Query a product by handle

Similar to querying a collection by its handle, you can use a product’s handle to query a product.

If a handle isn't specified when a product is created, then the handle is generated from the product's original title, replacing any spaces with hyphens. For example, a product that was created with the title The Full Stack might have the handle the-full-stack.

At the bottom of your /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx file, add a GraphQL query that retrieves a product by its handle. You'll also set up an Seo component and implement Shopify Analytics, [similar to how you did this for collection pages](/hydrogen-v1/tutorials/getting-started/tutorial/collections#step-3-generate-seo-tags-and implement-shopify-analytics).

// /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx

import {
  gql,
  useShopQuery,
  useServerAnalytics,
  useRouteParams,
  ShopifyAnalyticsConstants,
  Seo,
} from "@shopify/hydrogen";
import { Suspense } from "react";

import { Layout } from "../../components/Layout.server";

export default function Product({ params }) {
  const { handle } = useRouteParams();

  const {
    data: { product },
  } = useShopQuery({
    query: PRODUCT_QUERY,
    variables: {
      handle,
    },
  });

  useServerAnalytics({
    shopify: {
      pageType: ShopifyAnalyticsConstants.pageType.product,
      resourceId: product.id,
    },
  });
  // Implement an `Seo` component for the product. By specifying "type=product"
  // you're overriding the `defaultSeo` type in the Layout component.
  return (
    <Layout>
      <Suspense>
        <Seo type="product" data={product} />
      </Suspense>
      <section className="p-6 md:p-8 lg:p-12">
        This will be the product page for <strong>{product.title}</strong>
      </section>
    </Layout>
  );
}

// Add a Graphql query that retrieves a product by its handle.
const PRODUCT_QUERY = gql`
  query Product($language: LanguageCode, $handle: String!)
  @inContext(language: $language) {
    product(handle: $handle) {
      id
      title
      seo {
        title
        description
      }
    }
  }
`;

The product page renders the following dynamic content:

Dynamic content on the product page

Step 3: Query product and variant details

In this step, you'll create your first client component - ProductDetails. Client components render on the client, enabling a client-side state. Client components end in .client.jsx.

Similar to querying all products and variants that belong to a collection, you can set up a GraphQL query to retrieve detailed information about products and variants.

Tip: In the following code sample, you’ll notice a reference to a ProductOptionsProvider component. The ProductOptionsProvider component sets up a context with state that tracks the selected variant and options. Descendents of this component can use the useProductOptions hook.

Create a ProductDetails component to display product information, such as the description, title, and image of the product:

// /src/components/ProductDetails.client.jsx

import { ProductOptionsProvider } from "@shopify/hydrogen";

export default function ProductDetails({ product }) {
  return (
    <ProductOptionsProvider data={product}>
      <section className="w-full overflow-x-hidden gap-4 md:gap-8 grid px-6 md:px-8 lg:px-12">
        <div className="grid gap-2 mt-10">
          <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold leading-10 whitespace-normal">
            {product.title}
          </h1>
          <span className="max-w-prose whitespace-pre-wrap inherit text-copy opacity-50 font-medium">
            {product.vendor}
          </span>
        </div>
        <div className="mt-8">
          <div
            className="prose border-t border-gray-200 pt-6 text-black text-md"
            dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: product.descriptionHtml }}
          ></div>
        </div>
      </section>
    </ProductOptionsProvider>
  );
}

In /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx, update the GraphQL query to retrieve details about the product and its associated variants and pass the data through to the new ProductDetails component:

// /src/routes/products/[handle].server.jsx
import {
  gql,
  useShopQuery,
  useServerAnalytics,
  useRouteParams,
  ShopifyAnalyticsConstants,
  Seo,
} from "@shopify/hydrogen";
import { Suspense } from "react";

import { Layout } from "../../components/Layout.server";
import ProductDetails from "../../components/ProductDetails.client";

export default function Product({ params }) {
  const { handle } = useRouteParams();

  const {
    data: { product },
  } = useShopQuery({
    query: PRODUCT_QUERY,
    variables: {
      handle,
    },
  });

  useServerAnalytics({
    shopify: {
      pageType: ShopifyAnalyticsConstants.pageType.product,
      resourceId: product.id,
    },
  });

  return (
    <Layout>
      <Suspense>
        <Seo type="product" data={product} />
      </Suspense>
      <ProductDetails product={product} />
    </Layout>
  );
}

// Retrieve product media in preparation for the next step in the tutorial:
// Step 4: Add a product gallery
const PRODUCT_QUERY = gql`
  fragment MediaFields on Media {
    mediaContentType
    alt
    previewImage {
      url
    }
    ... on MediaImage {
      id
      image {
        url
        width
        height
      }
    }
    ... on Video {
      id
      sources {
        mimeType
        url
      }
    }
    ... on Model3d {
      id
      sources {
        mimeType
        url
      }
    }
    ... on ExternalVideo {
      id
      embedUrl
      host
    }
  }
  query Product($handle: String!) {
    product(handle: $handle) {
      id
      title
      vendor
      descriptionHtml
      media(first: 7) {
        nodes {
          ...MediaFields
        }
      }
      variants(first: 100) {
        nodes {
          id
          availableForSale
          compareAtPriceV2 {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
          selectedOptions {
            name
            value
          }
          image {
            id
            url
            altText
            width
            height
          }
          priceV2 {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
          sku
          title
          unitPrice {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
        }
      }
      seo {
        description
        title
      }
    }
  }
`;

The page renders details about the product in a basic layout:

![Details about the product in a basic layout](https://shopify.dev/assets/custom-storefronts/hydrogen/product-details-basic-layout.png)

Step 4: Add a product gallery

In this step, you'll use a MediaFile component to render media for your product pages. The MediaFile component renders an Image, a Video, an ExternalVideo, or a ModelViewer depending on the mediaContentType of the media provided as a prop. The MediaFile component is also compatible with 3D models.

// /src/components/ProductDetails.client.jsx

import { ProductOptionsProvider, MediaFile } from "@shopify/hydrogen";

export default function ProductDetails({ product }) {
  return (
    <ProductOptionsProvider data={product}>
      <section className="w-full overflow-x-hidden gap-4 md:gap-8 grid px-6 md:px-8 lg:px-12">
        <div className="grid items-start gap-6 lg:gap-20 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
          <div className="grid md:grid-flow-row  md:p-0 md:overflow-x-auto md:grid-cols-2 md:w-full lg:col-span-2">
            <div className="md:col-span-2 snap-center card-image aspect-square md:w-full w-[80vw] shadow rounded">
              <ProductGallery media={product.media.nodes} />

The page now renders an image next to the details about the product:

An image next to the details about the product

Step 5: Create a product form

Next, you'll create a product form that includes a variant selector, product price, and buy button:

The variant selector will use the useProductOptions hook to retrieve selected options.
The ProductPrice component will render a Money component with the product priceRange's maxVariantPrice or minVariantPrice, for either the regular price or compare at price range.
The BuyNowButton component will render a button that adds an item to the cart and redirects the custom to checkout.

Tip: Consider styling the buy button to be unique and prominent so that it’s easy for customers to make purchases.

The product page now renders all of the details for a product and its variants. It also includes a button to purchase the product. In the next tutorial, you’ll define the context for interacting with a cart and add an Add to cart button, which allows customers to choose products to purchase without completing the payment process.
