Updates

Welcome to Hydrogen's June 2024 release!

Hydrogen now provides optimistic cart support out of the box with the new useOptimisticCart hook.

The new analytics DX is now stable.

Welcome to Hydrogen's May 2024 release.

You can now trigger redeployments through the Shopify admin. This is especially useful when you update environment variables — now you won’t have to manually create a new deployment from the CLI or push a needless commit.

Shopify Plus merchants can now build headless business to business stores thanks to B2B support in the Storefront API.

Welcome to Hydrogen's April 2024 release.

The new analytics utilities simplify the implementation of analytics with built-in support for Shopify's Customer Privacy API, Vite support is now stable, we've overhauled Hydrogen's SEO tooling and full-page caching is now available in Oxygen.

The release also includes stable support for bulk uploading environment variables via the CLI, a built-in client for Shopify’s Customer Account API, and automatic SSL tunneling in the Hydrogen CLI.

Today, we’re releasing a bunch of new Hydrogen and Oxygen features, all part of our continuing quest to make your developer experience faster and more flexible. Some of these new features are still unstable, but we want to get them into your hands early so you can provide feedback.

Try out new features like experimental support for Vite in local development, a new env push command to upload your local environment variables to Oxygen, and GitHub deployment comments on PRs in your linked Hydrogen repo. Plus, learn about how we're moving Hydrogen to a new monthly release cadence.

Hydrogen running on Oxygen is fast, easier than ever to build with, and customers love the results. But the job is never done — here’s how we've dedicated the last few months to making Hydrogen’s developer experience even more powerful.
