Favorite Feature

Dignite CMS Kit provides a Favorite feature that allows adding favorite/collection functionality to any resource. For example, users can mark a product as a favorite or collect a blog post. Below is the appearance on a sample page:

Enable Favorite Feature

Before getting started, if you haven't enabled all features of Dignite Cms Kit, you need to enable the Favorite feature separately:

Open the GlobalFeatureConfigurator class in the solution's Domain.Shared project and add the following code to the Configure method.

GlobalFeatureManager.Instance.Modules.DigniteCmsKit(cmsKit =>
{
    cmsKit.Favourites.Enable();
});

Options

The Favorite feature provides a mechanism to group favorites by entity type. For example, if you want to use the Favorite feature for products, you need to define an entity type named Product and then add favorites under the defined entity type.

CmsKitFavouriteOptions can be configured in the Domain by configuring it in the ConfigureServices method of your module. For example:

Configure<CmsKitFavouriteOptions>(options =>
{
    options.EntityTypes.Add(new FavouriteEntityTypeDefinition("Product"));
});
