What are Hyvä Theme Templates?

Hyvä theme templates are pre-designed layouts in the Hyvä theme for Magento 2.

Instead of creating from scratch, you can use these pre-designed templates for your homepage, product page, category page and more. 

The Magento 2 Hyvä templates are designed using modern technologies like Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. That means they load faster, use less code and are easier to customize. 

Hyvä templates are more clean compared to old Magento themes. There is no unnecessary code or scripts that slow things down. Everything is built with speed and simplicity in mind, making your store user-friendly.  

Hyvä Templates vs. Designing from Scratch

Creating a theme from scratch can take weeks or even months. Even if you’re using Hyvä which simplifies the process, there is still a lot of design work, coding and testing involved. 

Here is a simple comparison to help you understand the difference between using Hyvä theme templates and building your store from scratch:

How to Use Hyvä Theme Templates?

Here are the steps to properly use the Hyvä theme template. 

Override a Template

Copy the original template file

From
vendor/Hyvä-themes/magento2-default-theme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/addtocart.phtml

To
app/design/frontend/Meetanshi/Hyvä-child/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/addtocart.phtml

Now edit the template inside your theme. Hyvä uses Alpine.js for interactivity, so you can use attributes like x-data, x-show, x-on:click, etc.

Use Tailwind and Alpine.js

You can use Tailwind CSS classes for layout, spacing, typography, etc.
Add interactivity using Alpine.js:

<div x-data="{ open: false }">
  <button @click="open = !open">Toggle</button>
  <div x-show="open" class="mt-2">Hello from Alpine</div>
</div>

Use Template from Custom Module

If you created a module like Meetanshi_HyväFeature, and want to use a custom Hyvä-style template:

Layout XML

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="product.info.main">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="custom.Hyvä.block" template="Meetanshi_HyväFeature::custom.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Template File

app/code/Meetanshi/HyväFeature/view/frontend/templates/custom.phtml

Use Hyvä-style HTML inside:

<div class="p-4 bg-blue-100 rounded" x-data="{ show: true }">
    <h2 class="text-lg font-semibold">Custom Hyvä Block</h2>
    <button @click="show = !show" class="mt-2 bg-blue-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded">
        Toggle Content
