Components
On this page
Each UI template comes with a set of functional blocks (“components”) and a demo site consisting of pages created with those components. For example, the Ecommerce UI template’s demo site has:
- A home page
- Product listing pages
- Product detail pages.
These pre-packaged components are designed to be as independent as possible, so you can choose the ones you’re interested in. They’re typically composed of InstantSearch widgets, Autocomplete plugins, and non-Algolia components.
The Ecommerce UI template components are cross-platform, all components are optimized to render well on both iOS and Android.
