- editor
Information about the editor where the extension is being rendered. The value is undefined if the extension is not rendering in an editor.
Editor
- rendered
Whether your extension is currently rendered to the screen. Shopify might render your extension before it's visible in the UI, typically to pre-render extensions that will appear on a later step of the checkout. Your extension might also continue to run after the buyer has navigated away from where it was rendered. The extension continues running so that your extension is immediately available to render if the buyer navigates back.
StatefulRemoteSubscribable<boolean>
- scriptUrl
The URL to the script that started the extension target.
string
- target
The identifier that specifies where in Shopify’s UI your code is being injected. This will be one of the targets you have included in your extension’s configuration file.
Target
