How to access Bigcommerce Stencil theme objects

Question

I am new to Bigcommerce and also to Handlebars. I am currently building a website according to a design and I am using the Merchant Stencil theme.

Here is a picture of the homepage structure I need

For the moment, I hardcoded the 3 sections in the home.html template file, but I want to bring the product information (url, name, description) dynamically for each product based on it's ID .

The store only sells 3 types of products At the moment, I have a featured products section with the all the 3 products set as featured. This is working fine. The second part is that I want to access a Product Object or Product Card object (documentation links added) and I don't know how to do it. They don't have code examples and I really can't find my way around it. Any help on how can I use these objects would be much appreciated.

I have even asked the Bigcommerce support, and they sent me here. The support people there have no clue about development on their platform, so they sent me here.

Cheers!

Here is the code in my home.html file.

{{#if products.featured}}
<section class="products-featured section">
  <h4 class="section-title">{{lang 'home.featured_products'}}</h4>
    <div class="wrapper">
        {{#each products.featured}}
            {{> components/products/product-grid-item

Answer 1

Create a component for the dynamic sections below the featured section. Then do

 {{#each products.featured}}
    {{> components/products/your-new-component }}
 {{/each}} 

Inside your component, you will get product object and you can get the data by simply {{product.id}} or {{product.title}}
