Shopping: Prevent duplicate products on a page

Feature Description

Right now the idea is that a single product can only appear on a page once.

Currently, it’s possible to end up with multiple products by duplicating or pasting elements.

How can we avoid that?

Possible options:

• Do not add element and display a snackbar message
• Add the element but without the product attached

Not sure where’s the best place to do this.

Relevant code:

• useCanvasCopyPaste: handles keyboard cop/paste
• useCanvasKeys: handles element duplication via mod+d.
• duplicateElementsById reducer
• useAddPastedElements hook

Alternatives Considered

but if I add 2 or more products and select them all at the same time, copy and try to paste them, I only see the message for 1 of the products (the last one that was added). What should we do in this case? Please see video below.

I knew you were going to ask this 😃

AFAIK this is currently expected behavior since this is how our snackbars work. We would need to revisit this in a separate ticket.

To answer your question:

• Should we leave it as it is right now? yes
