💡 1. JaJuMa Auto Select Options: Introduction

In a competitive e-commerce landscape, a seamless user experience is paramount.
A common point of friction for customers is the repetitive task of selecting product options, such as size, color, or material, for every new item they view.
This process adds unnecessary clicks and can disrupt the flow of their shopping journey.
The JaJuMa Auto Select Options extension solves this problem by creating a "magical," personalized shopping experience.
It intelligently remembers a customer's preferred options and automatically applies them across your store, reducing clicks and streamlining the path to purchase.

🔖 1.1 Core Features & Benefits

This extension is designed to provide a sophisticated yet intuitive enhancement to your Magento 2 store, focusing on tangible benefits for both the customer and the store owner.

• Automatically Selects Configurable & Custom Options:
  By pre-selecting options on both product detail pages and category page swatches, the extension significantly reduces the number of clicks required for a customer to add an item to their cart.
• Remembers Selections Globally & Per-Product:
  Creates a truly personalized experience that adapts to user behavior, making the store feel intuitive and responsive to individual preferences.
• Works on Product & Category Pages:
  The intelligent selection logic is applied from the moment of product discovery on category pages all the way to the final decision on the product page, ensuring a consistent and helpful experience.
• Optional URL Updates:
  Improves the shareability of products by allowing customers to copy and share a URL that links directly to a pre-configured product variation, driving highly qualified traffic.
• User-Friendly Tooltip:
  Transparently informs customers that an option has been automatically selected for them, building trust and clarifying the "magic" behind the seamless experience.

🧩 1.2 How It Works: The Auto-Selection Logic

The extension operates on a sophisticated, prioritized rule-based system to determine which options to select.
This logic ensures that the most relevant and specific customer preference is always applied, creating an intelligent and non-intrusive experience.
The rules are applied in the following order of priority:

💾 1.3 The Technology: Leveraging Browser Local Storage

The extension's ability to remember customer preferences across browsing sessions is powered by the browser's built-in localStorage API. This technology was deliberately chosen for its efficiency and persistence.

Unlike cookies, which are sent to your server with every single page request and have a small storage limit, localStorage data is stored exclusively on the user's device.
This approach has two key advantages:

1. Performance:
   It reduces server overhead and network traffic, as the preference data does not need to be transmitted back and forth.
2. Persistence:
   Unlike sessionStorage, which is cleared when a browser tab is closed, localStorage data persists.
   This allows the extension to remember a customer's preferences even after they close their browser and return to your store days later, providing a consistently personalized experience for returning visitors.
