UI Config Files

With Umbraco Commerce, there are minimal rules about what information you are required to record about an Order, however, this does pose a problem for how we provide a User Interface for managing carts and orders when we don't know exactly what properties you are going to be recording.

In order to allow this flexibility whilst still providing the ability to view and manage carts and orders in the backoffice, Umbraco Commerce supports a number of UI config files to map Order/Order Line Properties to its UI elements.

Supported UI Config Files

The configuration files supported by Umbraco Commerce are.

• cart.list.config.json - Cart list view configuration.

• cart.editor.config.json - Cart editor view configuration.

• order.list.config.json - Order list view configuration.

• order.editor.config.json - Order editor view configuration.

Assigning a UI Config File to a Store

To assign a UI config file to a Store, this is done by file name convention. This is where configs are looked for in App_Plugins/UmbracoCommerce/config with the following file name format {storeAlias}.{entityType}.{viewType}.config.json. If no store-specific file is found, it will fallback into the default {entityType}.{viewType}.config.json.

Cart/Order List Config Files

With these configuration files, you can customize the columns displayed in the Cart/Order list view.

Example Cart/Order List Config File

{
    properties: [
        { alias: "color", header: "Color", placeholder: "Undefined" },
        { alias: "size", header: "Size", placeholder: "Undefined", align: "right" }
    ]
}

The following properties are supported:

Properties configured to display in the list view will appear in order, after the cart name column.

Cart/Order Editor Config Files

With these configuration files, you can customize the Cart/Order Editor interface to suit your particular needs.

Example Cart/Order Editor Config File

An example of an Order Editor config file would look something like this:

{
    orderLine: {
        properties: [
            { alias: "color", label: "Color", isReadOnly: true, showInOrderLineSummary: true },
            { alias: "size", label: "Size", isReadOnly: true }
        ]
    },
    customer: {
        // Firstname, Lastname and Email are already known
        company: { alias: "company", label: "Company Name" },
        taxCode: { alias: "taxCode", label: "Tax Code" },
        telephone: { alias: "telephone", label: "Telephone" },
    },
    billing: {
        addressLine1: { alias: "billingAddressLine1", label: "Street Address Line 1" },
        addressLine2: { alias: "billingAddressLine2", label: "Street Address Line 2" },
        city: { alias: "billingCity", label: "City" },
        zipCode: { alias: "billingZipCode", label: "Zip Code" },
        telephone: { alias: "billingTelephone", label: "Telephone" },
        // Country and Region are already known
    },
    shipping: {
        enabled: true,
        sameAsBilling: { alias: "shippingSameAsBilling", label: "Same as billing", trueValue: "1", falseValue: "0" },
        firstName: { alias: "shippingFirstName", label: "First Name" },
        lastName: { alias: "shippingLastName", label: "Last Name" },
        addressLine1: { alias: "shippingAddressLine1", label: "Street Address Line 1" },
        addressLine2: { alias: "shippingAddressLine2", label: "Street Address Line 2" },
        city: { alias: "shippingCity", label: "City" },
        zipCode: { alias: "shippingZipCode", label: "Zip Code" },
        telephone: { alias: "shippingTelephone", label: "Telephone" },
        // Country and Region are already known
    },
    notes: {
        customerNotes: { alias: "comments", label: "Customer Comments" },
        internalNotes: { alias: "notes", label: "Internal Notes" }
    },
    additionalInfo: [
        { alias: "ipAddress", label: "IP Address", isReadOnly: true }
    ]
}
