It is advised to remove Discount Ninja assets from version control systems to avoid overriding the settings of the app.

To exclude the assets, simply ensure your version control system does not include any files that include the words limoniapps or discountninja.

Discount Ninja includes a number of assets, some of which are dynamic and others that are periodically overwritten. The sections below provide additional details per class of assets.

If you've opted to have the script file installed as an asset, you can choose to include it in your version control system. When new versions of the app are released you may need to update the script file (this is done via the Settings > General > Assets module of the app). You'll then need to update the file in your version control system.

The name of the script's asset is: limoniapps-discountninja.js or limoniapps-discountninja.min.js

If you've opted to have the script file downloaded as a Shopify script tag, there is no action required.

Some assets contain templates of building blocks. They are overwritten when the configuration of those building blocks is changed in the app. Therefore, adding them to your version control system may cause the content of these files to be out of sync with the configuration in the app. This may impact the look and feel of the building blocks.

The following assets contain building block templates:

It is not advised to store these files in a version control system.

If these files are not available on your theme, you can restore them by clicking "Update assets" in the Settings > General > Assets module of the app.

The app dynamically builds a style sheet, based on the settings of the building blocks in the Settings modules as well as the configuration of each of the promotions.

This style sheet is stored in the asset: limoniapps-discountninja.css.liquid

It is not advised to store this file in a version control system.

The app regenerates the style sheet when a promotion is saved or the settings of the app are saved.

If you need to override the generated CSS, you can add those overrides in the app (Settings > Assets > CSS). This ensures that the overrides are present in any theme you run Discount Ninja on. It also ensures that the overrides are removed if Discount Ninja is removed from the shop.

The content of the header and body assets is changed when:

The header is stored in the limoniapps-discountninja-header.liquid asset and the body in the limoniapps-discountninja-body.liquid asset.

These assets, when stored in a version control system can, therefore, override these settings, which can have important side-effects.

It is not advised to store these files in a version control system.

If these files are not available on your theme, you can restore them by clicking "Update assets" in the Settings > General > Assets module of the app.

The app contains a number of flags that can be used to change the behavior of the app. Flags are rarely required and should typically not be changed. The flags are stored in the limoniapps-discountninja-context-flags.liquid asset.

This file can be included in a version control system.

The settings that are configured in the app are stored in an asset named limoniapps-discountninja-context-settings.liquid.

It is not advised to store these files in a version control system.

The app regenerates the settings context file when a promotion is saved or the settings of the app are saved.

The context asset limoniapps-discountninja-context.liquid contains static content.

It is not advised to store these files in a version control system.

If this file is not available on your theme, you can restore it by clicking "Update assets" in the Settings > General > Assets module of the app.
