How do you override a view in Solidus?
Currently I am copying the view from Solidus Gem and into my application - which I find error prone.
Solidus 2.2.0 introduced a frontend views override generator which copies a view into your own host application.
In order to customize a view you should copy the file into your host app. Using Deface is not recommended as it provides lots of headaches while debugging and degrades your shops performance.
Solidus provides a generator to help with copying the right view into your host app.
Simply call the generator to copy all views into your host app.
$ bundle exec rails g solidus:views:override
If you only want to copy certain views into your host app, you can provide the --only argument:
$ bundle exec rails g solidus:views:override --only products/show
The argument to --only can also be a substring of the name of the view from the app/views/spree folder:
$ bundle exec rails g solidus:views:override --only product
