Magento 2 type_id as facet

dterzano · March 3, 2021, 2:20am

How do you select the product type_id as a facet under the Magento 2 Algolia Extension. The dropdown under “Facets” in the Instant Search Results Page does not list the type_id as a valid product attribute.

Thanks,

Hi @dterzano,

The facets are pulling the attributes retrieved by this function:

github.com

algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2/blob/3.1.0/Helper/Entity/ProductHelper.php#L153-L203


public function getAllAttributes($addEmptyRow = false)
{
    if (!isset($this->productAttributes)) {
        $this->productAttributes = [];

        $allAttributes = $this->eavConfig->getEntityAttributeCodes('catalog_product');

        $productAttributes = array_merge([
            'name',
            'path',
            'categories',
            'categories_without_path',
            'description',
            'ordered_qty',
            'total_ordered',
            'stock_qty',
            'rating_summary',
            'media_gallery',
            'in_stock',
        ], $allAttributes);

type_id is not included in this unfortunately. If you need to add this attribute as a facet, you will need to use the backend event: algolia_products_index_before_set_settings

See this documentation for more on how to modify settings:

Thank you very much Betty. I will give that a shot. I wasn’t sure which of the events was the correct one to observe for that override.
