Magento PWA Base Theme
======================

[](#magento-pwa-base-theme)

Required base theme for Magento PWA Studio.

⚠️ **This theme contains no UI or presentational code.** Its role is to configure the Magento 2 layout system to render the Application Shell for a PWA, and to serve as a common base theme for Magento PWAs that helps Magento to identify PWA-enabled themes.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A Magento PWA Studio theme must use this theme, **Magento/pwa**, as its parent theme. This works just like current-state Magento themes do: declare the parent theme in `theme.xml`, and add a dependency `magento-research/theme-module-pwa`to your `composer.json` file. This theme is published on Packagist, so no license keys or additional Composer repository configurations are necessary.

Features
--------

[](#features)

### Layout Simplification

[](#layout-simplification)

This theme overrides the core page layouts implemented in the `Magento_Theme`module. Because Magento PWAs don't use traditional Magento layout resolution, it's most efficient to turn off as much of the layout system as you can. This theme contains XML config files which disable and remove as much of the layout- driven UI as possible. Almost all of it can be done in `default.xml`.

### Application Shell Template

[](#application-shell-template)

This theme overrides the base PHTML template for Magento storefronts: `root.phtml`. You can customize your application shell by further overriding this template file and inserting your own markup and server logic.

### Flags PWAs

[](#flags-pwas)

Magento 2 will provide more and more optimization around "PWA mode" in future releases. It follows that there ought to be a simple way for the backend to identify whether a theme is a "PWA theme" or not. In this version of PWA Studio, server logic will simply examine your theme to see if its `parent` is this theme.

Beyond this, we discourage using theme inheritance for code reuse in the PWA world.
