Shopify Theme Structure

The theme structure in Shopify generally consists of the following folders and files:

  1. assets – This folder contains all of the theme’s non-template assets, such as images, JavaScript files, and CSS files.
  2. config – This folder contains various configuration files for the theme, including settings_schema.json, which defines the settings for the theme’s customization options.
  3. layout – This folder contains the theme’s layout files, which determine the overall structure of each page on the storefront.
  4. locales – This folder contains language-specific translation files for the theme.
  5. sections – This folder contains the theme’s custom sections, which are reusable content blocks that can be added to pages and other templates.
  6. snippets – This folder contains small code snippets that can be included in templates using Liquid includes, such as a header or footer.
  7. templates – This folder contains the theme’s main templates, including the homepage, product page, and cart page templates.
  8. theme. liquid – This file is the main template file for the entire theme, which typically includes the HTML head and body tags, as well as Liquid code to include the necessary CSS and JavaScript files.

These folders and files make up the basic structure of a Shopify theme. Depending on the specific needs of your theme, you may also include additional folders or files, such as a custom JavaScript file for a specific page, or a unique Liquid snippet for a product page.
