Step 2 : Create your page layout

app/code/Dolphin/CustomProductSlider/view/frontend/layout/hyva_dolphin_index_index.xml

<page>
    <update handle="hyva_product_slider" />
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block name="my-gear" template="Magento_Catalog::product/slider/product-slider.phtml">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="title" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Gear</argument>
                    <argument name="category_ids" xsi:type="string">3</argument>
                    <argument name="page_size" xsi:type="string">12</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Here we load the all required renderer blocks on the page by applying the layout handle hyva_product_slider.

Then, we declared the slider block with a template.

Magento_Catalog::product/slider/product-slider.phtml

Each product in the slider is rendered from the product list item template.

Magento_Catalog::product/list/item.phtml

The following is a list of customizable parameters for a product slider component:

category_ids : (default value: none )

A comma separated list of category IDs. Products from these categories will be shown.

Example:

<argument name="category_ids" xsi:type="string">2,4</argument>

include_child_category_products : ( Default value: false )

If true, and if the category is an anchor category, the slider will also include products assigned to child categories.

Note : The include_child_category_products attribute only has an effect if a single category ID is specified in category_ids argument.

Example:

<argument name="include_child_category_products" xsi:type="boolean">true</argument>
