Example

Here’s an example of how to use the useSelectedVariant hook to manage product variant selection:

import React from 'react';
import { useSelectedVariant } from 'builderoo';
import classNames from "classnames";
 
 
function ProductDetail({ product }) {
  const { variant, onSelectOption, isOptionSelected } = useSelectedVariant(product);
 
  return (
    <div className="product-detail">
      <h1>{product.name}</h1>
      <p>Price: ${variant.price}</p>
      <ul className="space-y-3 mt-4">
        { product.options && product.options.length > 0 && product.options.map((option, i) => (
          <li key={i} className="w-20">
            <div className="text-sm">{option.name}</div>
            <ul className="flex gap-3 mt-1">
              { option.values.map((value, i) => (
                <li
                  onClick={() => onSelectOption(option._id, value._id)}
                  key={i}
                  className={classNames(
                    "border border-gray-300 rounded-sm px-3 py-1 text-sm cursor-pointer",
                    {"bg-black text-white": isOptionSelected(value._id)},
                    {"bg-muted-background text-black": !isOptionSelected(value._id)},
                  )}>
                  {value.label}
                </li>
              ))}
            </ul>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
}
 
export default ProductDetail;

In this example, the ProductDetail component uses the useSelectedVariant hook to manage the selection of a product variant. It displays the product’s name, price, and a list of variant options as buttons. The onSelectOption function allows users to select a variant, and isOptionSelected checks if an option is currently selected.
