Theme extensions
The Adventure Works theme includes several theme extensions, such as the View extensions and Module definition extensions. The Adventure Works theme can be used as a reference theme to build similar extensions. For example, the list page in the Adventure Works theme is implemented as a view extension that has a horizontal refiner. (By contrast, a left pane refiner is used in the Fabrikam theme.)
Likewise, other modules include module definition extensions. For example, the cart icon module includes two additional Empty Cart and Promotional Content slots that are implemented by using module definition extensions. Additionally, a new Mobile Logo property has been added to the header module to support a logo on mobile viewports. This property is implemented as a header module definition extension.
