How to Use External App Data In App Theme Extention?

[ahmetalan]

Hello There,

I building app to using theme extension.

Everything is perfect but i cant solve how we can use our app data in theme app extension block liquids.

I saw shopify example on github(https://github.com/Shopify/product-reviews-sample-app/blob/main/theme-app-extension/blocks/product-r... but this example data source coming from metafields

For example our reviews on the our database, how we can use this reviews on this liquid?

Thanks.

Hey @ahmetalan 

You could either sync the info with Shopify (e.g. store in metafields), or make a client-side JS request to fetch the data.

If i choose make client-side js request do i need use app proxy for request to our backend?
