This extension allows users to define Focal Points and interactable Hotspots over an image, in a format similar to what Content Hub provides, but with the data being stored on a content item.
If you want to get started after cloning this repo, remember to sync packages with yarn install.
This project requires Node 16.x to build.
The shoppable image extension has a rather complicated structure for the field it writes, so it's recommended that you put the schema in a partial. You can find the full partial definition in shoppable-image-partial.json in the base of this repository.
To use the schema when imported as a partial, use this snippet:
{
"shoppableImage": {
"title": "Shoppable Image",
"description": "An image enriched with a focal point and hotspots.",
"allOf": [
{ "$ref": "https://amplience.com/shoppable-image-partial#/definitions/shoppableImage" }
]
}
}This extension needs to be registered against a Hub with in the Dynamic Content application (Developer -> Extensions), for it to load within that Hub.
- Category: Content Field
- Label: Shoppable Image (this will appear as the tab title in the Dashboard)
- Name: shoppable-image (needs to be unique with the Hub)
- URL: https://shoppable-image.extensions.content.amplience.net
- Description: Shoppable Image Extension (can be left blank, if you wish)
Note: You can use our deployed version of this extension (builds from the "production" branch) -

As this is an open source project you're welcome to host your own "fork" of this project. You can use any standard static hosting service (Netlify, Amplify, Vercel, etc.) if you wish.
No additional permissions are required.
The shoppable image extension creates a simple format that you can ingest in your site to use or represent hotspots and the point of interest however you want.
For information on the format structure, and how you might use it in your own renderer, see this documentation.
The webapp for the extension can also double as a standalone visualization for the shoppable image field. It will run in visualization mode if you provide ?vse={{vse.domain}} as a query string parameter, and will read back the field from the shoppableImage property of your content item. If you want to provide a different top level property, simply provide it in the query string like fieldName=exampleImage.
The visualization uses the dc-visualization-sdk to update its preview as the field is being edited, so you'll be able to try hotspot interaction over your image as you add and move hotspots.
To add the visualization to your content type, just switch to the Visualizations tab, and add a visualization with the extension as the url, and the query string ?vse={{vse.domain}}.
Run HTTPS=true yarn run start for a dev server. Navigate to https://localhost:3000/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
If you want to test on DC, you'll need to link an extension to that same localhost url. Keep in mind that you might run into a browser security issue when using SSL, so if you're having any issues visit the extension directly and accept any ssl warnings.
Run yarn build. The built extension will then be present in the build/ directory, and you can upload it to any webserver.
