Template

App block container

A theme app extension block with a heading, a body slot and section-level padding controls. Use it as the wrapper for any storefront UI the app injects.

Download template (.zip)All templates

Save the Liquid as a block in your theme app extension's blocks/ folder, then add the CSS and JavaScript to the extension's assets/ folder. Merchants place the block from the theme editor, so every setting below shows up as an editable control.

Where the files go

  • template.liquid → extensions/<name>/blocks/container.liquid
  • template.css → extensions/<name>/assets/container.css
  • template.js → extensions/<name>/assets/container.js

Rename the block handle and the CSS class prefix before shipping, so Rich Form Builder cannot collide with another app that used the same starting point.

Code

Copy a single file, or download all 3 as an archive. Duplicate your theme before pasting into a live store.
