# collection

The collection template is responsible for displaying a collection of products within your online store. It provides an organized and user-friendly way for your customers to browse through your products.

## Implementing the Collection Template

In the collection template, you can customize the layout and styling to suit your store's needs. To access and modify the collection template, locate the `collection.liquid` file within the `templates` folder of your theme. You can add, edit, or remove elements as needed to create the desired layout and functionality for your store's collections.

When displaying a collection, you can use the `collection` object to access various properties, such as the collection's title, description, or image. Additionally, you can loop through the products within the collection using the `for` loop and the `collection.products` array.

For example, to display a simple list of product titles within the collection, you could use the following code:

```liquid
{% for product in collection.products %}
  <h2>{{ product.title }}</h2>
{% endfor %}
```

Please note that advanced features like product sorting, filtering, and section sorting are not yet implemented in the current version of the theme.
