Channel aware Assets

Currently, assets are shared between channels. If an asset is uploaded to channel1and the user switches to channel2, it will see the same set of assets. To fully support multi-channel shops, it’s desirable to have assets that are channel aware.

Describe the solution you’d like Assets that are uploaded in the context of the current channel should only be available in the current channel.

• Focalpoints are global: Changing focalpoints changes the focalpoint for this asset on all channels
• Deleting an Asset in a non-default channel will result in the asset still being available in the default channel
• Optional deleteFromAllChannels boolean for deleteAsset mutation to delete asset from all channels

input AssetDeletionOptions {
  force: Boolean
  deleteFromAllChannels: Boolean
}

Considered out of scope for now: Assigning assets to multiple channels via the Admin UI.

Question Should there be something like global assets?

I am currently working on this feature.

Yes, they should work just like any of the ChannelAware entities:

• They are always assigned to the default Channel.
• They may be optionally assigned to one or more sub-channels.
