App Theme Integration without App Extension and ScriptTag

[Shabalinski___A]

Hi all, I'm a part of development team of one of Shopify sales channels.

Right now we need to create integration with vendors themes. Shopify provides 2 ways, a new one App Extension and old one ScriptTag and Assets.

We want to use Shopify.Liquid to get needed data from page and create a custom script to work with this data. The App Extension solution doesn't work for us for a number of reasons.

Does Shopify Team can have questions about this solution, because it doesn't specified in docs and for Shopify it looks like a black box (random script take data and make smth)?

Does your channel have access to the Asset API? You could just grab theme.liquid, add your <script> and PUT the new version of the file. Script tags are being phased out for app extensions as you most likely already know, but liquid is just a templating engine (no higher functions to make an HTTP request, or even process arrays or objects for that matter).

Hi  @Dynasort, u are right it's just a templating engine, but it gives possibility to get some data on SSR stage, that what we need.
