About Shopify Hydrogen
Shopify Hydrogen has a framework that ensures customising structure, components and designing tools. With this, merchants can make their brand unique.
As described on shopify.dev, “Hydrogen is built and optimized to use data coming from Shopify’s Storefront API. The shape of the data passed to components, hooks, and utilities corresponds and conforms to the structure based on the GraphQL types from the Storefront API”.
“Hydrogen can also support data from third-party sources. If you want to use Hydrogen components with a third-party data source, then data from the third-party source must first be transformed into the types expected by the Hydrogen components, hooks, and utilities, and then passed on to the components, hooks, and utilities.”
