Falcon theme is made with the latest tools such as Webpack 5.53, Webpack dev server with HMR 🔥🔥, and Bootstrap 4.6. This theme was created to deliver a starter theme with the latest developers' tools and frameworks. You can create an enterprise-level PrestaShop theme that is easy to maintain.
Made for developers, and if you are a merchant, you shouldn't download it.
- Bootstrap updated to 4.6 from 4.0.0-alpha.5 - backwards compatibility included.
- Updated Webpack to 4.46 from 2.2.1 with a whole new Webpack config.
- Removed tether - not used anymore with Bootstrap 4.6 - popper.js added instead.
- Removed velocity-animate, jquery.scrollbox.js and jquery-touchswipe - replaced with Swiper.
- Removed bootstrap-filestyle.js - replaced with Bootstrap custom file input
- Removed jquery.ui from
ps_searchbar
, a new moduleis_searchbar
included. - Removed jquery.ui from
ps_facetedsearch
- replaced with nouislider. (ps_facetedsearch
assets are unregistered insideis_themecore
module that is required for the theme to work properly).
- Webpack config works properly with Webpack Dev server and HMR. Its watcher also observes changes on
.tpl
templates, and modules.css/.js/.tpl
files and makes the page complete reload if needed. You don't need to refresh your webpage manually anymore to inspect results. - Module
is_themecore
adds structured data with properJSON-LD
format for WebPage, Product, Organization and BreadcrumbList. Also supports OpenGraph and Twitter:card. It adds missing breadcrumbs for pages: cart, 404, stores, sitemap. - Dynamic importing of the Boostrap components. You can load
.js/.css
file dynamically with DynamicImportHandler class. There is no documentation yet, only an example of use available in_dev/js/components/dynamic-bootstrap-components.js
. - Lazyload added for images that are below the fold.
- Modified version of
ps_imageslider
included. You can upload images for mobile and desktop separately. - Multiple entry points for Webpack, files separated per view. There are 4 output
js/css
files theme, product, checkout, listing and you are able to add more with ease. If you need rich CMS pages with many styles, you don't have to include them everywhere with the theme output file. You can create another entry e.g. cms and modify theassets.yml
file to include the new assets file. - List/grid switcher on the list. You are able to choose the default listing display type with only a few lines of
.js
code. All template changes are handled in.tpl
file. It is also easy to add another list type. - Specific
.scss
file structure that helps you maintain your code over time. - Automatically generated preload links for theme fonts. You don't have to care about manually preloading fonts inside the template. Webpack generates
.html
file that is included inside the head. Fonts fileNames arecontentHashed
so client-side caching problems after fonts changes are resolved (especially useful foricomoon
generated icon fonts.). - High DPI images support. With just a simple call of the Smarty function (
generateImageSources
), you are able to handle whole image sources logic -srcset
for the High DPI images option enabled. SwiperSlider
wrapper class forswiper.js
to fetch needed swiper modules lazily based on provided config.- WebP image format generated automatically on demand via
is_themcore
module. Early hints (103)
support via Cloudflare for css/image file.

Go to releases and download latest version
falcon.zip
file not source code. -
Download required modules via github releases and place them into
{shop_dir}/modules/
folder. Make sure that you are downloading release package not source code of module. DON'T clone module repository. If you clone module repository, you will have to runcomposer install
in root dir of downloaded module. -
Unzip theme file and place it inside
{shop_dir}/themes/
. -
If you want to change theme name unzip file. Change folder name e.g.
your-theme-name
then go toconfig/theme.yml
and change:
name: falcon
display_name: Falcon theme
to:
name: your-theme-name
display_name: my theme display name
Name in theme.yml
must be equal folder name.
- Open in terminal directory
your-theme-name/_dev
and run:
- for
npm
:
npm install
- for
yarn
:
yarn install
- Creating your
.env
file. You can setup you project by runningproject-init
script.
- If you didn't build your theme in step 6. Just run:
- for
npm
:
npm run build
- for
yarn
:
yarn build
-
Go in BO to Design->Theme & Logo and turn on theme. Now starter should be displayed correctly in FO and modules should be installed.
-
Now try to run:
- for
npm
:
npm run dev
- for
yarn

Smarty block that modify <img>
tags inside block to picture tag with webp
<source>
that if webp option is enabled inside is_themecore
module.
Module check if image extension is png
, jpeg
, jpg
, svg
or gif
will be omitted.
This block don't check if image is external resource, don't use it for external resource.
Example of usage:
{images_block webpEnabled=$webpEnabled}
<img
class="rounded img-fluid"
{generateImagesSources image=$product.default_image size='large_default' lazyload=false}
width="{$product.default_image.bySize.large_default.width}"
height="{$product.default_image.bySize.large_default.height}"
{if !empty($product.default_image.legend)}
alt="{$product.default_image.legend}"
{else}
alt="{$product.name}"
{/if}
>
{/images_block}
It will output:
<picture>
<source
type="image/webp"
srcset="http://domain.com/2-large_default/hummingbird-printed-t-shirt.webp">
<img
class="rounded img-fluid"
src="http://domain.com/2-large_default/hummingbird-printed-t-shirt.jpg"
width="800"
height="800"
alt="Hummingbird printed t-shirt">
</picture>
$webpEnabled
is global variable provided from is_themecore
module, this parameter isn't required.
Block can also contains multiple images inside and every image will be modified to <picture>
tag.
This smarty block is working the same like images_block
but it will check if files are containing internal urls or cdn urls.
Every external image will be omitted.
Example of usage:
{cms_images_block webpEnabled=$webpEnabled}
<img src="http://domain.com/img/cms/image.jpg"/>
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec porttitor porta nulla, nec elementum orci. Ut pellentesque lacus felis, non vestibulum nunc fermentum eget. Pellentesque gravida ante sed gravida ultricies.</p>
<img src="http://externalurl.com/image.jpg"/>
{/images_block}
It will output:
<picture>
<source type="image/webp" srcset="http://domain.com/img/cms/image.webp">
<img src="http://domain.com/img/cms/image.jpg"/>
</picture>
<h2>Title</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec porttitor porta nulla, nec elementum orci. Ut pellentesque lacus felis, non vestibulum nunc fermentum eget. Pellentesque gravida ante sed gravida ultricies.</p>
<img src="http://externalurl.com/image.jpg"/>
Use this block instead of images_block
only if you want to processed html content that can contains external urls for example cms pages/product description.
This block is a bit slower that images_block
so make sure that you are using it properly.
Simple smarty block to display content only for mobile devices.
Example of usage:
{display_mobile}
<p>
It will be displayed only for mobile device (not existing in DOM for destkop devices)
</p>
{/display_mobile}
Simple smarty block to display content only for destkop devices.
Example of usage:
{display_desktop}
<p>
It will be displayed only for desktop (not existing in DOM for mobile devices)
</p>
{/display_desktop}
Since version 2.1.0 new assets.yml
file has been added to theme config directory.
It is completely new way of registering assets inside theme w/o writing any of php code, fully based on .yml
file.
You can find new file inside main_shop_directory/themes/theme_name/config/assets.yml
.
Working with assets.yml
.
css:
product: # Asset id
fileName: product.css # File name inside assets/css
media: all # Media attribute, allowed you can find inside StylesheetManagerCore $valid_media
priority: 200 # Priority (lower > higher inside document)
include: # List of page names that assets will be included, if you don't add to it will be the same as * (everywhere)
- product
js:
product: # Asset id
fileName: product.js # File name inside assets/js
priority: 200 # Priority (lower > higher inside document)
include: # List of page names that assets will be included, if you don't add to it will be the same as * (everywhere)
- product
You are able to use wildcard inside include
, making it easy to register assets for multiple module pages
css:
blog:
fileName: blog.css
media: all
priority: 200
include:
- module_blog_name*
You are able to register remote files.
css:
example_remote_bootstrap:
fileName: //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
server: remote # required to set server: remote for remote file
priority: 200
js:
example_remote_bootstrap:
fileName: //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js
server: remote # required to set server: remote for remote file
priority: 200
Fonts are preloaded automaticlly via webpack-font-preload-plugin
. To preload selected font you have to add font file name to plugin configuration.
You can find function resposible for it in _dev/webpack/webpack.parts.js
. Function is called preloadFonts
.
exports.preloadFonts = () => ({
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
filename: 'preload.html',
templateContent: '{{{preloadLinks}}}',
inject: false,
}),
new FontPreloadPlugin({
index: 'preload.html',
extensions: ['woff2'],
filter: /(materialicons|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-regular|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-700|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-500|icomoon)/i,
replaceCallback: ({ indexSource, linksAsString }) => {
return indexSource.replace('{{{preloadLinks}}}', linksAsString);
},
}),
]
})
To preload font with name for example my-font-name
. You have to modyfiy value of filter
field:
filter: /(materialicons|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-regular|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-700|roboto-v20-latin-ext_latin-500|icomoon|my-font-name)/i,
You are able to create more advanced matching test with regex, thats just simple example.
PageSlider automatically initialize sliders that are visible in viewport.
PageSlider instance is exposed with prestashop
global object, you can access it with prestashop.pageSlider
.
To exclude slider from automatic initialization, your slider .swiper
element have to contain swiper-custom
class.
If you add new sliders element for example via ajax, you can refresh pageSlider
observer to include newly included sliders with calling prestashop.pageSlider.refresh()
.
PageSlider will automatically initialize that slider with config passed to data-swiper
attribute.
{$sliderConfig = [
'speed' => 500,
'slidesPerView' => 2
]}
<div class="swiper" data-swiper="{$sliderConfig|json_encode}">
<div class="swiper-wrapper">
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 1
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 2
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
PageSlider automatic handles navigation and pagination if they are available. PageSlider is searching one node element above .swiper
that why it is important to adds wrapper to swiper to prevent bugs.
{$sliderConfig = [
'speed' => 500,
'slidesPerView' => 2
]}
<div class="example-wrapper">
<div class="swiper" data-swiper="{$sliderConfig|json_encode}">
<div class="swiper-wrapper">
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 1
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 2
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="swiper-button-prev">
PREV
</div>
<div class="swiper-button-next">
NEXT
</div>
<div class="swiper-pagination">
</div>
</div>
If pagination or navigation config exists inside swiper config automatic handling isn't executed. Classed for navigation and slider are just examples it is important that this selectors are unique. You can also make use of id
or just any valid querySelector.
{$sliderConfig = [
'speed' => 500,
'slidesPerView' => 2,
'navigation' => [
'nextEl' => '.js-unique-button-next',
'prevEl' => '.js-unique-button-prev',
],
'pagination' => [
'el' => '.js-unique-swiper-pagination',
'type' => 'bullets',
]
]}
<div class="example-wrapper">
<div class="swiper" data-swiper="{$sliderConfig|json_encode}">
<div class="swiper-wrapper">
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 1
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 2
</div>
<div class="swiper-slide">
SLIDE 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="js-unique-button-prev swiper-button-prev">
PREV
</div>
<div class="js-unique-button-next swiper-button-next">
NEXT
</div>
<div class="js-unique-swiper-pagination swiper-pagination">
</div>
</div>
Swiper is splitted to multiple modules that are not included in initial javascript/css files. We don't have to include every module to make sure that needed module just for one slider will be available for us.
SwiperSlider
is wrapper to Swiper
that handles dynamic imports for modules. It reads passed config and looking for modules that have to be fetched.
We have some modules that are commonly used and we are not fetching them dynamically Navigation, Pagination, Lazy, Autoplay
.
Example, passed config:
{
slidesPerView: 1,
spaceBetween: 10,
freeMode: {
enabled: true,
sticky: true,
},
}
When we initialize this slider with SwiperSlider
class it will search for needed module to fetch.
It finds freeMode
in config and fetch freeMode
module and include this module it to parameters.
SwiperSlider
constructor accepts two parameters just like Swiper
.
First argument is selector or node element that contains swiper
class.
Second argument is swiper config, you can read more about it in swiper API documentation
const exampleSlider = new prestashop.SwiperSlider('.js-slider', {
slidesPerView: 1,
spaceBetween: 10,
});
const exampleSliderSwiperInstance = exampleSlider.initSwiper();
SwiperSlider
constructor returns SwiperSlider
object.
If you want to access swiper instance it will be available for (example above) via exampleSlider.swiperInstance
or exampleSliderSwiperInstance
.
We know that SwiperSlider
isn't initialize Swiper
immediately since it is fetching needed modules asynchronous. exampleSlider.swiperInstance
might not be available right after we create new SwiperSlider
instance.
To solve this problem initSwiper
is returning promise that resolved is returning us SwiperSlider instance.
Example with usage of async/await
(recommended way, cleaner):
const exampleSlider = new prestashop.SwiperSlider('.js-slider', {
slidesPerView: 1,
spaceBetween: 10,
});
const exampleSliderSwiperInstance = await exampleSlider.initSwiper();
// exampleSliderSwiperInstance is Swiper instance created with SwiperSlider class
exampleSliderSwiperInstance
Example with usage of then
:
const exampleSlider = new prestashop.SwiperSlider('.js-slider', {
slidesPerView: 1,
spaceBetween: 10,
});
exampleSlider.initSwiper().then(swiperInstance => {
// swiperInstance is Swiper instance created with SwiperSlider class
swiperInstance
});
Preload css option inside is_themecore
is only working when CCC option for css
is enabled. Switching this option on will automatically add preload
<link>
to head with css file.
Enabled early hints option inside is_themecore
module will append every image/style preload link to response head as Link
header.
This option is requiring cloudflare and Early hints option enabled in your cloudflare dashboard.
This option is still in beta stage, to read more about it click here
In version 2.3.0
of is_themecore
and mpst
webp image format has been added.
You are able to simply add webp image format by changing image extenstion to .webp
from for example .jpg
or .png
. Module will automaticly find source file and convert it to webp
.
You don't have to create <picture>
tag and change image src extenstion to webp
. Two new smarty blocks has been added to handle needed template modyfication images_block
and cms_images_block
, you can read more about it in smarty blocks section.
Module is adding specific rules to .htaccess
file to handle webp
files. To enable webp
image format you have to enable it in is_themecore
module configuration.
You are also able to set quality
and converter
that will be used to convert files to webp
format.
If you are using nginx
you have to add manually some rules to your nginx configuration file.
Configuration that is being used for mpst.dev

. Your build times will surely increased since sass
is slower that node-sass
used in older version of starter. There is alterative package https://github.com/sass/embedded-host-node that will solve your performance issue.
You are asking yourself. Why we are still using sass
packages instead of sass-embedded
? Well, not every linux distro is supporting dart-lang
at this moment thats you have to implement it on your own. Starter theme have to be versatile and we should support as much OS versions as possible.
- First run:
npm i sass-embedded --save
or
yarn add sass-embedded
- Go to
themes/theme_name/_dev/webpack/webpack.parts.js
and findsass-loader
and replace:
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
options: {
implementation: require('sass'),
},
},
with:
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
options: {
implementation: require('sass-embedded'),
},
},
- Run your
dev
script and you should right now feel like your theme is building much faster.
