Introduction

OxbowUI is an open-source component library featuring ready-to-use components built with Tailwind CSS and AlpineJS. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use OxbowUI’s ecommerce components with CoCart API to build dynamic product pages in Astro.

​
What You’ll Build

  • A responsive product grid for listing products
  • A detailed product page with image and description
  • Dynamic product data from CoCart/WooCommerce
  • Add to cart functionality with AlpineJS
  • Proper image handling and pricing display

​
Prerequisites

  • An Astro project set up with CoCart
  • CoCart installed and activated on your WordPress site
  • Basic knowledge of Astro, Tailwind CSS, and AlpineJS
  • Tailwind CSS and AlpineJS installed in your project
If you haven’t set up your Astro project yet, follow the Astro Setup Guide first.

​
Understanding OxbowUI Components

We’ll be working with three OxbowUI ecommerce components. You can interact with the demos below to see how they work:

​
1. Product Grid Component

A responsive grid layout for displaying multiple products: The component structure: 
<div class="relative grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
  <div class="relative flex flex-col justify-between gap-2">
    <div class="relative aspect-[4/3]">
      <img
        src="/store/shoes/airforceblack/3.jpg"
        alt="#_"
        class="absolute inset-0 object-cover size-full rounded-2xl bg-zinc-50"
      />
    </div>
    <div>
      <div class="flex items-center justify-between w-full">
        <h3 class="text-sm font-medium text-zinc-900 dark:text-white">
          Nike Air Force 1´07 Fresh
          <a href="#_">
            <span class="absolute inset-0"></span>
          </a>
        </h3>
        <h3 class="text-sm text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300">$280.00</h3>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

​
2. Product Detail Component

A detailed product view with image, price, and description: The component structure: 
<div class="items-center mt-8 grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-8">
  <!-- Product Image Gallery -->
  <img
    src="/store/shoes/airmax/1.png"
    class="size-full aspect-[16/10] object-cover object-center rounded-2xl lg:col-span-2"
    alt="Product image"
  />
  <!-- Product Details -->
  <div class="flex flex-col gap-8">
    <div>
      <p class="text-4xl sm:text-4xl md:text-5xl lg:text-6xl dark:text-zinc-100">
        $190
      </p>
      <h1 class="text-xl md:text-2xl lg:text-3xl mt-12 font-medium dark:text-zinc-100">
        Nike Air Max
      </h1>
      <p class="text-base mt-1 text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300">Black</p>
      <p class="text-base mt-4 text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300 lg:text-balance">
        Hitting the field in the late '60s, adidas airmaxS quickly became
        soccer's "it" shoe.
      </p>
    </div>
    <!-- Action Buttons -->
    <div class="flex mt-8">
      <button class="relative flex items-center justify-center text-center font-medium transition-colors duration-200 ease-in-out select-none focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:z-10 justify-center rounded-md text-white bg-zinc-900 outline outline-zinc-900 hover:bg-zinc-950 focus-visible:outline-zinc-950 dark:bg-zinc-100 dark:text-zinc-900 dark:outline-zinc-100 dark:hover:bg-zinc-200 dark:focus-visible:outline-zinc-200 h-9 px-4 text-sm">
        Add to Cart
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
We’ll adapt these structures to work with CoCart product data.

​
Creating the Product Grid Component

Create src/components/ProductGrid.astro: 
---
const { products } = Astro.props;

/**
 * Format price with currency symbol
 */
function formatPrice(price, currencySymbol = '$') {
  return `${currencySymbol}${parseFloat(price).toFixed(2)}`;
}
---

<div class="relative grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
  {products.map((product) => (
    <div class="relative flex flex-col justify-between gap-2">
      <div class="relative aspect-[4/3]">
        <img
          src={product.images?.[0]?.src || '/placeholder.jpg'}
          alt={product.images?.[0]?.alt || product.name}
          class="absolute inset-0 object-cover size-full rounded-2xl bg-zinc-50"
        />
      </div>
      <div>
        <div class="flex items-center justify-between w-full">
          <h3 class="text-sm font-medium text-zinc-900 dark:text-white">
            {product.name}
            <a href={`/product/${product.slug}`}>
              <span class="absolute inset-0"></span>
            </a>
          </h3>
          <h3 class="text-sm text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300">
            {formatPrice(product.prices.price, product.prices.currency_symbol)}
          </h3>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  ))}
</div>

​
Creating the Products Page

Create src/pages/products.astro: 
---
import Layout from '../layouts/Layout.astro';
import ProductGrid from '../components/ProductGrid.astro';
import { getProducts } from '../lib/cocart';

// Fetch products at build time
const products = await getProducts({ per_page: 12 });
---

<Layout title="Our Products">
  <main class="container mx-auto px-4 py-12">
    <h1 class="text-3xl font-bold text-zinc-900 dark:text-white mb-8">
      Our Products
    </h1>

    <ProductGrid products={products} />
  </main>
</Layout>

​
Creating the Product Detail Component

Create src/components/ProductDetail.astro: 
---
const { product } = Astro.props;

function formatPrice(price, currencySymbol = '$') {
  return `${currencySymbol}${parseFloat(price).toFixed(2)}`;
}
---

<div class="items-center mt-8 grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-8">
  <!-- Product Image Gallery -->
  <img
    src={product.images?.[0]?.src || '/placeholder.jpg'}
    class="size-full aspect-[16/10] object-cover object-center rounded-2xl lg:col-span-2"
    alt={product.images?.[0]?.alt || product.name}
  />

  <!-- Product Details -->
  <div class="flex flex-col gap-8">
    <div>
      <p class="text-4xl sm:text-4xl md:text-5xl lg:text-6xl dark:text-zinc-100">
        {formatPrice(product.prices.price, product.prices.currency_symbol)}
      </p>
      <h1 class="text-xl md:text-2xl lg:text-3xl mt-12 font-medium dark:text-zinc-100">
        {product.name}
      </h1>
      {product.attributes?.find(attr => attr.name === 'Color') && (
        <p class="text-base mt-1 text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300">
          {product.attributes.find(attr => attr.name === 'Color').options[0]}
        </p>
      )}
      <p class="text-base mt-4 text-zinc-500 dark:text-zinc-300 lg:text-balance" set:html={product.short_description || product.description}>
      </p>
    </div>

    <!-- Action Buttons -->
    <div class="flex mt-8">
      <button
        class="relative flex items-center justify-center text-center font-medium transition-colors duration-200 ease-in-out select-none focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:z-10 justify-center rounded-md text-white bg-zinc-900 outline outline-zinc-900 hover:bg-zinc-950 focus-visible:outline-zinc-950 dark:bg-zinc-100 dark:text-zinc-900 dark:outline-zinc-100 dark:hover:bg-zinc-200 dark:focus-visible:outline-zinc-200 h-9 px-4 text-sm"
      >
        Add to Cart
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

​
Creating a Variable Product Component

For products with variations (colors, sizes), we’ll use an advanced component with interactive features:

​
3. Variable Product Component (Interactive Demo)

Try selecting a color and size, then click “Add to Cart”: Now let’s create src/components/VariableProduct.astro: 
---
const { product } = Astro.props;

function formatPrice(price, currencySymbol = '$') {
  return `${currencySymbol}${parseFloat(price).toFixed(2)}`;
}

// Extract attributes for variations
const colorAttribute = product.attributes?.find(attr => attr.name === 'Color' || attr.slug === 'pa_color');
const sizeAttribute = product.attributes?.find(attr => attr.name === 'Size' || attr.slug === 'pa_size');
---

<div
  x-data="{
    activeImage: 0,
    images: [
      ...(product.images || []).map(img => img.src)
    ],
    activeColor: null,
    activeSize: null,
    sizeSystem: 'US',
    sizes: {
      US: sizeAttribute?.options || [],
      EU: [] // You can map US to EU sizes if needed
    },
    colors: colorAttribute?.options?.map(color => ({
      name: color,
      ring: 'ring-zinc-300',
      bg: 'bg-zinc-200'
    })) || []
  }"
  class="grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-8"
>
  <!-- Product Image Gallery -->
  <div class="flex flex-col lg:sticky lg:top-24 lg:self-start gap-2">
    <!-- Main Image -->
    <div class="overflow-hidden aspect-square bg-zinc-200 dark:bg-zinc-900 rounded-2xl">
      <img
        x-show="images.length > 0"
        :src="images[activeImage]"
        class="object-cover size-full aspect-square"
        alt={product.name}
      />
    </div>

    <!-- Thumbnails -->
    <div class="w-full grid grid-cols-6 gap-2" x-show="images.length > 1">
      <template x-for="(image, index) in images" :key="index">

​
Creating the Product Detail Page

Create src/pages/product/[slug].astro: 
---
import Layout from '../../layouts/Layout.astro';
import ProductDetail from '../../components/ProductDetail.astro';
import VariableProduct from '../../components/VariableProduct.astro';
import { getProducts, getProduct } from '../../lib/cocart';

const { slug } = Astro.params;

// Fetch the specific product
const products = await getProducts({ slug });
const product = products[0];

if (!product) {
  return Astro.redirect('/404');
}

// Check if product has variations
const isVariable = product.type === 'variable';
---

<Layout title={product.name}>
  <main class="container mx-auto px-4 py-12">
    {isVariable ? (
      <VariableProduct product={product} />
    ) : (
      <ProductDetail product={product} />
    )}
  </main>
</Layout>

​
Adding Interactive Cart Functionality

To add items to cart with interactivity, create enhanced versions with AlpineJS.

​
Interactive Product Grid

Create src/components/ProductGridInteractive.astro: 
---
const { products } = Astro.props;

function formatPrice(price, currencySymbol = '$') {
  return `${currencySymbol}${parseFloat(price).toFixed(2)}`;
}
---

<div
  x-data="{
    addingToCart: false,
    notification: '',
    async addToCart(productId, productName) {
      this.addingToCart = true;
      try {
        const response = await fetch('/api/cart/add', {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
          body: JSON.stringify({ id: productId, quantity: 1 })
        });

        if (response.ok) {
          this.notification = `${productName} added to cart!`;
          setTimeout(() => this.notification = '', 3000);
        }
      } catch (error) {
        this.notification = 'Error adding to cart';
        setTimeout(() => this.notification = '', 3000);
      } finally {
        this.addingToCart = false;
      }
    }
  }"

Interactive Product Detail

Create src/components/ProductDetailInteractive.astro: 
---
const { product } = Astro.props;

function formatPrice(price, currencySymbol = '$') {
  return `${currencySymbol}${parseFloat(price).toFixed(2)}`;
}
---

​
Creating the Cart API Endpoint

Create src/pages/api/cart/add.js: 
import { addToCart } from '../../../lib/cocart';

export async function POST({ request }) {
  try {
    const body = await request.json();
    const { id, quantity = 1 } = body;

    const result = await addToCart(id, quantity);

    return new Response(JSON.stringify(result), {
      status: 200,
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    });
  } catch (error) {
    return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: error.message }), {
      status: 500,
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    });
  }
}
Make sure AlpineJS is installed and configured in your project. See the Astro Setup Guide for instructions.

​
Working with Variable Products

To add variable products to cart, you need to find the correct variation ID based on selected attributes. Update your CoCart API client in src/lib/cocart.js: 
/**
 * Get product variations
 * @param {string|number} productId - Product ID
 * @returns {Promise<Array>} Variations array
 */
export async function getProductVariations(productId) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/products/${productId}/variations`);

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching variations:', error);
    return [];
  }
}

/**
 * Find variation ID based on selected attributes
 * @param {Array} variations - Product variations
 * @param {Object} selectedAttributes - Selected attributes {color: 'Red', size: 'L'}
 * @returns {number|null} Variation ID
 */
export function findVariationId(variations, selectedAttributes) {
  return variations.find(variation => {
    return Object.entries(selectedAttributes).every(([key, value]) => {
      const attr = variation.attributes.find(a =>
        a.name.toLowerCase() === key.toLowerCase()
      );
      return attr && attr.option.toLowerCase() === value.toLowerCase();
    });
  })?.id || null;
}
Then create an interactive variable product component that uses these functions to add the correct variation to cart.

​
Understanding the CoCart Response

The CoCart Products API returns data in this structure: 
{
  "id": 123,
  "name": "Nike Air Force 1´07 Fresh",
  "slug": "nike-air-force-1-07-fresh",
  "prices": {
    "price": "28000",
    "regular_price": "28000",
    "sale_price": "",
    "currency_code": "USD",
    "currency_symbol": "$"
  },
  "images": [
    {
      "id": 456,
      "src": "https://yourstore.com/wp-content/uploads/product.jpg",
      "alt": "Nike Air Force 1"
    }
  ]
}

​
Customization Options

​
Filtering Products

Add category or search filtering: 
// In cocart.js
export async function getProductsByCategory(categoryId, params = {}) {
  return getProducts({
    ...params,
    category: categoryId
  });
}

​
Different Grid Layouts

Modify the grid classes in ProductGrid.astro: 
<!-- 4 columns on large screens -->
<div class="grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4">

<!-- 2 columns max -->
<div class="grid grid-cols-1 gap-6 md:grid-cols-2">

​
Price Variations

Handle sale prices: 
{product.prices.sale_price && (
  <div class="flex items-center gap-2">
    <span class="text-sm text-zinc-500 line-through">
      {formatPrice(product.prices.regular_price, product.prices.currency_symbol)}
    </span>
    <span class="text-sm text-red-600 font-semibold">
      {formatPrice(product.prices.sale_price, product.prices.currency_symbol)}
    </span>
  </div>
)}

​
Component Usage Summary

You now have six components to use in your Astro project:

​
Product Listing Components

  1. ProductGrid.astro - Static product grid (SEO-friendly, server-rendered)
  2. ProductGridInteractive.astro - Interactive product grid with add to cart

​
Simple Product Detail Components

  1. ProductDetail.astro - Static product detail view
  2. ProductDetailInteractive.astro - Interactive product detail with add to cart

​
Variable Product Components

  1. VariableProduct.astro - Advanced component with:
    • Image gallery with thumbnails
    • Color selector
    • Size selector
    • Accordion sections (Details, Shipping, Returns)
    • Multiple action buttons (Add to Cart, Buy Now)
The page automatically detects if a product is variable and uses the appropriate component. Use the static versions for better SEO and performance, or the interactive versions when you need client-side cart functionality.

​
Next Steps

  • Explore more OxbowUI ecommerce components
  • Add product image gallery (multiple images)
  • Implement product variations (size, color selection)
  • Add product filtering and search
  • Build cart page using OxbowUI cart components
  • Create checkout flow with CoCart Checkout API
  • Add product quick view functionality
