Bloomreach Accelerator: B2C Commerce Account Component

Synopsis

AccountFormComponent is a built-in HstComponent to manage the customer's account in Bloomreach Accelerator: B2C Commerce applications.

Given a visitor is authenticated, an account management link can be provided for the customer.

AccountFormComponent processes the account management requests by invoking the commerce backend REST APIs.

Component Overview

Rendering phase

In rendering phase, its template is supposed to display input fields for the visitor's login form, such as e-mail address and password.

Action phase

On account management form's submission, AccountFormComponent first validates the inputs, displaying errors if validation fails; or it invokes CRISP API with the corresponding CommerceConnector and CommerceConnectorComponent (id: "updateCustomer") models, which ends up exchanging data with the commerce backend service to update the customer account data. For details on the "updateCustomer" connector component configuration, please have a look at the different commerce platform configuration pages supported in Bloomreach Accelerator: B2C Commerce Boot.
