1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, a request for an interface, wherein a configuration for the interface includes a plurality of slots that are associated with a plurality of collection pools, wherein each collection pool is configurable with a ranking strategy for ranking collections; for each slot in the plurality of slots, performing:
determining, by the computing device, a collection pool for a slot in the interface, wherein the collection pool is associated with a plurality of collections, wherein collections in the plurality of collections are eligible to be displayed in the slot; and
receiving, by the computing device, a collection for the slot, wherein the collection is determined by ranking the plurality of collections using a ranking strategy for the collection pool to generate a ranking of the plurality of collections, and wherein the collection is associated with one or more items; and
outputting, by the computing device, the respective collection for the respective collection pool for display in each slot in the plurality of slots of the interface, wherein the one or more items for the respective collections is displayable in the respective slot of the interface. |
