Shopware 6 Theme Development Getting Started and Availability

Is there a documentation regarding the Shopware 6 Themes, like a Getting Started guide?
Looking for something similar to the Shopware 5 Themes docs: Shopware 5 Theme Startup Guide

Maybe I’m missing something, but the closest I could find is the Storefront component: https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/internals/storefront
However the Theming bullet point is not yet linking to anything.

Is the Theming engine not yet finalized? Will it actually be available in mid-July when the Shopware 6.0 Early Access edition is released?

Hey @dev_ht‍,

the Theme system is not yet fully implemented and therefore there’s no guide available yet.
It is expected to be finished by the middle or end of july and a guide will follow up shortly then.

Kind regards,

Hello,

is the Shopware 6 templating documentation out yet? I have also been looking for something similar to the templating documentation in Shopeware 5 but to no success. 

I will be very happy if anyone can point me to a link where I can access such information.

Thanks

Take a look: https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-platform-dev-en/internals/plugins/plugin-themes?category=shopware-platform-dev-en/internals/plugins

Thanks

I have already checked that link but with that, one can only make Js, CSS and some other changes.

But I want to be able to extend and change the default Twig Shopware Storefront template in my theme as it was explained in the Shopware 5 Getting Started templating tutorial.

You can find some details on how to change/extend the templates in Shopware 6 over here:

When could we get a guid and a documentation for the Theme System? 

Hey @badiiboukalane‍,

what exactly are you missing?

I’ll just append some links to tutorials and guides about the Shopware 6 theme system:

• Storefront Themes
• Storefront Plugins
• HowTo: Adding custom data to the Storefront
• HowTo: Writing your own Storefront javascript plugin
• HowTo: Extending an existing javascript plugin
• HowTo: Extending a Storefront Twig Block
• HowTo: Using custom CSS and JS in the Storefront

If there’s still something missing, feel free to message me about it, so we can actually add everything that’s still missing.

Kind regards

Hi,

it just took me 1 hour to find this out… consider adding this step to the docs:

After running 

bin/console theme:create

you have to run

bin/console plugin:refresh

Otherwise the plugin can’t be activated

Would it be possible to also add documentation on active front-end development on custom themes? I really need some direction in how to get watch/hot-reload to function.
