  StatefulRemoteSubscribable<Capability[]>

• editor

  Information about the editor where the extension is being rendered. If the value is undefined, then the extension is not running in an editor.

  Editor

• rendered

  A Boolean to show whether your extension is currently rendered to the screen. Shopify might render your extension before it's visible in the UI, typically to pre-render extensions that will appear on a later step of the checkout. Your extension might also continue to run after the customer has navigated away from where it was rendered. The extension continues running so that your extension is immediately available to render if the customer navigates back.

  StatefulRemoteSubscribable<boolean>

• scriptUrl

  The URL to the script that started the extension target.

  string

• target

  The identifier that specifies where in Shopify’s UI your code is being injected. This will be one of the targets you have included in your extension’s configuration file.
