dawn VS shopify-theme-lab

The (product-thumbnail.liquid)[https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/snippets/product-thumbnail.liquid] shows some instructions for usage but I'm not clear on how we would specify the desired product, I assume using the product-handles somewhere in the syntax?

Once you are in the store admin, click Online Store. Here you should see Dawn as the Current theme. Dawn is now the default theme for OS 2.0 stores, and is actually open source!

If you are using Dawn, you can get the latest version directly from Github: https://github.com/Shopify/dawn

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Shopify/dawn.git git fetch upstream git pull upstream main

Shopify Theme Lab This workflow tooling uses webpack bundler with Vue to generate Shopify theme code. It may help you get Vue bootstrapped into a theme for you.

7. Shopify Theme Lab

Have you checked out Theme Lab? If you are having any underlying issues non-related to your setup this would iron them out. I'd try to setup a dummy theme and see if its something terminal/CLI related or something misconfigured on your partner end/shopify side.

You should check out UI crooks theme lab. I've taken 2 stores built with Slate v0 and upgraded them to a modern workflow where I was able to drop the whole repo for the old v0 into UI crooks and sort of sunset the old method of using Slate. Online Store 2.0 is not equivalent to Slate as you are suggestion (theme.js, SASS). Slate was an opinionated set of tools to build a theme for Shopify. Shopify CLI is more of a tool to communicate with your local machine and the remote server. The actual tooling is now left up to you. Back when Slate got started jQuery ruled the world. Shopify is backing away from telling developers the specifics of how they will build stores. Shopify also has taken a lame approach to this evergreen web. I get it but they are espousing a belief due to the underlying issue with the app ecosytem being incompatible with modern web development. They did include app sections to help. But still.

In the end, I said: "Fine, I'll do it myself". That's pretty much how the Shopify Theme Lab project started. Of course, the road to the finished product was a little bit more complicated, but that's another story.
