Is there a way to hide a product page section based on a metafield value in Shopify 2.0?

Hello,

I am updating my site to Shopify 2.0 and taking advantage of the sections available on a product page. I need the same sections on all with the exception of a handful. Is there a way to hide sections based on a metafield value?

Hi @KarissaN Hope you are doing Well 
Yes, You need to Wrap Section Html Inside Liquid Condition

Hi @KarissaN,

You need to go to the file containing the sections and add the following code. Example for 'Collection list' section, located in sections/collection-list.liquid file of Dawn theme.

Code:

{%- assign check = true -%}
{%- if request.page_type == 'product' and product.metafields.my_fields.value == 'value'-%}
  {%- assign check = false -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- if check -%}

<!-- content section  -->

{%- endif -%}

with 'product.metafields.my_fields.value == value' is the condition of metafields.

Hope it is clear to you.

This is great, but I have a follow up question.

If the section is like a text section, I assume it can't be hidden unless you hide *all* text sections based on a metafield, so how do you hide a specific text section? Can you do it in the json template?
