Hyvä Theme and PWA Studio A Synergistic Approach

• Magentos frontend ecosystem is evolving, with
  Hyvä Theme and PWA Studio emerging as two of the
  most powerful solutions. While traditionally seen
  as separate approaches, combining them
  strategically can create a fast, modern, and
  highly interactive Magento store
• Understanding Hyvä Theme and PWA Studio
• Hyvä Theme A Performance-Optimized Magento
  Frontend
• Hyvä is a lightweight, server-side rendering
  (SSR) solution that significantly improves
  Magentos Core Web Vitals and developer
  experience. It is a strong choice for Magento 2
  frontend and Hyva theme development.
• Uses Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS instead of
  KnockoutJS and RequireJS.
• Reduces JavaScript dependencies for faster page
  loads.
• Fully compatible with Magentos native checkout
  and backend.

• PWA Studio Magentos Progressive Web App
  Solution
• Progressive Web Application (PWA) is React-based,
  API-driven, and headless, focusing on a
  mobile-first, app-like experience.
• Uses Client-Side Rendering (CSR) and GraphQL APIs
  for data fetching.
• Enables offline support, push notifications, and
  a fast, interactive UI.
• Decouples the frontend from Magentos backend for
  greater flexibility.
• Why Combine Hyvä and PWA Studio?
• Rather than choosing one approach, a hybrid model
  allows Magento merchants to benefit from both.

• Key Benefits of a Hybrid Hyvä PWA Studio
  Approach
• Fast, SEO-friendly pages using Hyväs SSR.
• Interactive elements (e.g., product search, cart)
  powered by PWA Studio.
• GraphQL-driven UI enhancements without requiring
  a full headless setup.
• Offline support and push notifications for
  returning users.
• Implementing a Hybrid Hyvä PWA Studio Setup
• Step 1 Install Hyvä Theme
• Ensure Magento is installed and set up before
  adding Hyvä.
• composer require hyva-themes/magento2-default-them
  e
• bin/magento module enable Hyva_Theme
• bin/magento setup upgrade
• bin/magento setupstatic-content deploy -

• Step 2 Set Up PWA Studio
• Clone PWA Studio and set up a project.
• git clone https//github.com/magento/pwa-studio.gi
  t
• cd pwa-studio
• yarn install
• yarn buildpack create-project my-hyva-pwa
• Configure .env to connect PWA Studio to Magento
• MAGENTO_BACKEND_URLhttps//yourmagentostore.com
• CHECKOUT_BRAINTREE_TOKENyour-braintree-token

• Step 3 Use GraphQL for Dynamic Elements
• Instead of a full headless approach, use GraphQL
  APIs to load real-time data into Hyvä while
  keeping its SSR structure.
• Example GraphQL-powered product list using PWA
  Studio

import gql, useQuery from _at_apollo/client co
nst GET_PRODUCTS gql query
products(filter category_id eq 10 )
items name price
regularPrice amount
value currency

const ProductList () gt
const loading, error, data
useQuery(GET_PRODUCTS) if (loading) return
ltpgtLoadinglt/pgt if (error) return ltpgtError
fetching productslt/pgt return ( ltulgt
data.products.items.map((product) gt (
ltli keyproduct.namegtproduct.name
product.price.regularPrice.amount.valuelt/ligt
)) lt/ulgt ) export default

• Step 4 Embed PWA Components in Hyvä Pages
• Use Magentos layout XML to insert a PWA-based
  React component inside Hyvä.
• ltreferenceBlock namecontentgt
• ltblock classMagento\Framework\View\Element\T
  emplate templateMagento_Themereact_component.
  phtml/gt
• lt/referenceBlockgt
• Inside react_component.phtml
• ltdiv idhyva-pwa-appgtlt/divgt
• ltscript srchttps//yourpwa.com/static/js/main.js
  gtlt/scriptgt
• This method allows Hyvä to handle core rendering
  while embedding PWA-based interactive components
  where needed.

• Optimizing Performance SEO in a Hybrid Setup
• 1. Enable Server-Side Rendering for PWA
  Components
• Since PWA Studio uses CSR, wrap dynamic
  components with an SSR-friendly loader.
• Example Use Next.js or React Server Components
  for SSR-based PWA elements.
• import dynamic from next/dynamic
• const PWAProductList dynamic(() gt
  import(../components/ProductList),
• ssr false,
• )
• export default function Page()
• return

• 2. Preload GraphQL Data in Hyvä
• Fetch product data in Hyvä before rendering React
  components.
• productData this-gtgraphQlClient-gtquery(
• products(filter category_id eq 10
  )
• items
• name
• price
• regularPrice
• amount
• value
• currency

• 3. Use Service Workers for Offline Support
• Enhance PWA Studio by enabling Magento service
  workers for caching.
• yarn run buildpack load-configuration
• Modify service-worker.js
• self.addEventListener(fetch, (event) gt
• event.respondWith(
• caches.match(event.request).then((response)
  gt
• return response fetch(event.request)
• )
• )
• )
• A hybrid Hyvä PWA Studio setup provides the
  best of both worlds

• Hyvä for fast, SEO-friendly, and simple pages.
• PWA Studio for interactive, real-time elements
  where needed.
• GraphQL for dynamic data without a full headless
  transition.
• This approach minimizes complexity while
  maximizing performance and UX. Would you like
  help implementing this strategy in your Magento
  store?
