Using Global Javascript Assets

A number of Javascript frameworks and components have been installed on the Spiffy Stores servers and are available for use in the store themes.

These software components are maintained and kept up to date for you, so that you don't need to include them in your theme.

All components can be accessed from your theme using the liquid tag

global_asset_url(input)
