🎬 About this Video
A detailed, requested look at Shopify's metaobjects. I explain what they actually are (a way to define completely new custom data models, like a "designer" for a fashion store, with your own fields for name, description, photo, and website), how they differ from metafields (metaobjects define new models, metafields extend existing ones), and the powerful spot where the two meet: storing a reference to a metaobject inside a metafield, so one designer can be linked to 20 products and updated in a single place. Then we put it into practice with two examples: a designer section on the product page done with no code through the theme customizer, and an overview page listing all designers, built with Liquid in the theme files.
