Magento2 check if product is in wishlist

[wester9208]

Hi, I need to check if on catalog category page and product view page if the product is in wishlist. If in wishlist I need to add a different icon. Can somebody help me figure this out? thanks

When doing this, you'll want to avoid breaking the full page caching of the page. You'll want to find out what products are in the customer's wishlist via ajax and then store the results in a cookie/local storage for future use. E.g. https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/144851/check-if-product-is-in-wishlist/144856#144856

<?php if($_category_config['addtowishlist']): ?>
<?php if ($this->helper('Magento\Wishlist\Helper\Data')->isAllow()): ?>
<a href="#"
class="action towishlist actions-secondary"
title="<?php echo $block->escapeHtml(__('Add to Wish List')); ?>"
aria-label="<?php echo $block->escapeHtml(__('Add to Wish List')); ?>"
data-post='<?php echo $block->getAddToWishlistParams($_product); ?>'
data-action="add-to-wishlist"
role="button">
<span><?php echo __('Add to Wish List') ?></span>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Would like to change class inside ATAG if its not in wishlist, so any idea how to do it here on catalog product list page and also on catalog product view page.

There's no other way to do it without breaking full page cache or making that block always uncached which would degrade performance. As soon as you need the site to change based off a customers session, you need this kind of solution.
