What data is returned by the "terms" property of the "collection" object?

Technical Q&A
1

I see, in the new Dawn theme, the collection object is passed to “facets” snippet as “results” property.

Later, a “terms” property is used.

So, there appears to be a “terms” property on the “collection” object, but I don’t see it referenced any where in the developer docs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!

Hi @sleepislife ,

You can check the code, at main-collection-product-grid.liquid file, results are assigned by collection. https://i.imgur.com/cNH9Z9L.png

And at main-search.liquid file, results are assigned by search. https://i.imgur.com/54UPwlj.png

=> the terms variable only works when on the search page, and it will be search.terms , refer https://i.imgur.com/tTLvMFM.png

Hope it is clear to you.
