Designing Sidebar

The sidebar widget is mainly used for showing filters on the category page. It can be conditionally hidden or visible by using variable.

Data Elements

Main elements of the sidebar are filters. In some cases, banners and collections are also shown. Main filters are:

Category Filters

Mostly this contains sub-categories links.

Price Filters

Price filters can be shown or hidden with variable. 'ms.widgets.category_products.priceFilter(mydata)' function filters products based on mydata.min and mydata.max input values.

Brand Filters, Size, color and other attribute filters

These filters use widget ms.entityAttributes.
