The product listing page provides coverage for both search and browse (PLP) results and includes the faceting, sorting, and product card areas on the page. This is the recommended default storefront PLP provided by Live Search. It provides a search experience that is client side rendered and hosted with a decoupled architecture.
The PLP calls the catalog service which extends the Live Search productSearch query to return product view data. This allows the PLP to render additional product attributes like swatches with a single call.

This repo is provided as a reference implementation only. While you’re expected to create your own customizations based on these assets, those customizations can’t be supported by Adobe.
Best practices include:
- forking this repo
- periodically rebasing with develop
Node and NPM setup: https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm
- Node version: v16 or greater

NVM is a nifty tool to help toggle between enironment versions
Within the root of the project (~/storefront-product-listing-page):
npm installInstall storybook: https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/get-started/install
npm run storybookbuild tailwind styles and run locally
npm run tailwind:build
npm run devnote: for styles to update you must run npm run tailwind:build
And open localhost:8080/v2/index.html in your favorite browser.
npm run testnpm run tailwind:build # builds tailwind styles
npm run buildsearch.js will be built to ./dist/
import the script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="search.js"></script>Most of these will be passed with the extension if you have your storefront setup. The SANDBOX_KEY (api key for the sandbox env) is the only key that will need to be set within webpack.
ENVIRONMENT_ID
WEBSITE_CODE
STORE_CODE
STORE_VIEW_CODE
CUSTOMER_GROUP_CODE

const root = document.querySelector('div.search-plp-root');
setTimeout(async () => {
while (typeof window.LiveSearchPLP !== 'function') {
console.log('waiting for window.LiveSearchPLP to be available');
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
}
window.LiveSearchPLP({ storeDetails, root });
}, 1000);You can see the example in dev-template.html
We use Tailwind to style/theme our components. Here's a good read up if you are keen: Tailwind Docs
In addition to this themeing, we have CSS classes where storefronts can target and customize specific components of the widget. CSS classes will be used to target specific components or elements of components for a more granular approach. In short, CSS variables can create a general theme and CSS classes can target specific elements in our widget.
With Tailwind we do not write custom CSS. Instead, we use its utility classes that are generated at buildtime using a config we provide and scanning our markup (this way we don't have extra CSS we don't need). This is our config file.
So how do we use CSS variables to style our components? Great question 😄
Let's say as if I want to style an element with the theme's primary color. Normally, in CSS we would have done the following:
<style>
.primaryColor {
color: var(--primary-color)
}
</style>
<div class="primaryColor">
Yippee I am a primary color!
</div>Using Tailwind the following produces the exact same result:
<div class="text-primary">Yippee I am a primary color!</div>Looking at the config file you will notice that the CSS variable is --color-primary is mapped to the Tailwind CSS theme color key primary. this means anywhere in Tailwind you would use a Color key in a class you can now use the word primary.
You can add your own variables to tokens.css. Furthermore, you can define your own tailwind classes using these variables in the config file.
Now default behavior:
Follow the tailwind nesting documentation. Your postcss.config will look like this:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
require('postcss-import'),
require('tailwindcss/nesting'),
require('autoprefixer'),
require('tailwindcss'),
require('cssnano'),
],
};From there you should be able to nest the tailwind classes:
@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';within .ds-widgets in token.css
.ds-widgets {
@import 'tailwindcss/base';
@import 'tailwindcss/components';
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities';
...;
}Some helpful tools when developing with tailwind:
To extend and customize this repo, you must first be familiar with react:

Example Implemention - adding a button to ProductItem:
export const ProductItem: FunctionComponent<ProductProps> = ({
item,
currencySymbol,
currencyRate,
setRoute,
refineProduct,
}: ProductProps) => {
...
const handleClickButton = () => {
console.log('clicked the button!');
}
return (
<div className="ds-sdk-product-item group relative flex flex-col max-w-sm justify-between h-full">
...
<div className="flex flex-col">
<div className="ds-sdk-product-item__product-name mt-md text-sm text-primary">
{htmlStringDecode(productView.name)}
</div>
<ProductPrice
item={refinedProduct ?? item}
isBundle={isBundle}
isGrouped={isGrouped}
isGiftCard={isGiftCard}
isConfigurable={isConfigurable}
isComplexProductView={isComplexProductView}
discount={discount}
currencySymbol={currencySymbol}
currencyRate={currencyRate}
/>
<button onClick={handleClickButton}>I am a button!</button> // added a button
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
);

Follow the below instructions on how to host with CDN and update your Commerce store to include your new product listing page.
- In the root of this repository, install dependencies:
npm install - Create a production build of the application:
npm run build - After the previous step succeeds, it will output a
search.jsfile in thedist/directory. This is the production-ready product listing page. - Follow the instructions from your favorite frontend hosting with CDN (we use AWS S3 + Cloudfront, but there are many options to choose from) to upload the
search.jsfile. - The hosting platform with CDN will provide you a url where the
search.jsfile will be publicly hosted for your consumption. - Take the url where the
search.jsfile is hosted and validate in your browser that it is working correctly by loading the url in your browser and seeing thesearch.jsfile returned to you. - Now the Live Search extension needs to be updated to include your new url. Find the
magento-live-searchextension code in your adobe commerce code base. Locate the directoryLiveSearchProductListing. - We will be updating two files under
magento-live-search > LiveSearchProductListing:etc/config.xml&etc/csp_whitelist.xml - Changes for
etc/config.xml: change the live search url in<frontend_url>to match the one you created with your hosting/CDN solution url above. See below. 
- Changes for
etc/csp_whitelist.xml: find all references to the live search SaaS product list page (plp-widgets-ui.magento.ds.com) and replace with your hosting/CDN solution url. See below. 
- Those are all the required changes. Now redeploy your adobe commerce store code and see your new custom product listing page in your storefront.
