This code initializes a sectionData object to store section-specific details, and defines a function, which updates sectionData e.g. with new customer information when received.
We can receive customer data in Alpine.js by listening to the private-content-loaded event on the window.
This process ensures the customer section data remains accurate and up-to-date by reloading current information and invalidating outdated data as needed.
This event triggers the Hyvä equivalent of the Luma authentication popup.
Components can dispatch this event to show the mini-cart.

This section demonstrates how to build a simple form using HTML5 input types and built-in validation features and so give you a quick introduction about the forms within the Hyvä theme.
There are a number of CSS pseudo-classes that are also exposed as Tailwind CSS variants to allow styling input fields depending on their state.
If input constraints are declared on a field, it might display as invalid immediately.
This is not a good user experience. Usually an invalid state message is only displayed when a form is submitted or after a user interacts with a form input.
Hyvä mostly uses built-in browser form validation. For many use cases that's enough, but in some cases JavaScript validation is required (for example, to display custom validation messages in a specific location).
This section provides a guide to integrating reCAPTCHA into forms within the Hyvä Theme. Adding reCAPTCHA helps protect forms from spam and automated submissions, enhancing the security of your pages.
This approach uses the DOM to store the shared data. It probably is the simplest solution, and if it works for your use case, we suggest you follow this pattern.
This approach uses the single threaded nature of JavaScript for userland code to assign consecutive values to nested components.
This solution uses a global state object and the array based ordering of items to access the right records.
This approach is used with events.

In Hyvä, data is often sent from one component to another with events.
