Overview

Working Sylius Elasticsearch integration based on FOSElasticaBundle. The main goal of this plugin is to support filtering products by options, attributes, taxons, channels and name in the front product list page. It totally replaces the default Sylius sylius_shop_product_index route., _(*12)

What is more, the plugin has a nice Sylius-oriented architecture that allows mapping resources to the Elastic document easier. It is flexible as well, so that you can customize the existing features for your specific business needs., _(*13)

If you are curious about the details of this plugin, read this blog post and watch the video below., _(*14)

, _(*15)

# Installation

For the full installation guide, please go here., _(*16)

## Requirements

This plugin requires elasticsearch server running. You can install it by following the instructions on the official website. In plugin repository there is Docker Compose file that can be used to run Elasticsearch server., _(*17)

Note: This Plugin supports ElasticSearch 7.0 and above. If you're looking for ElasticSearch Plugin for older versions check SyliusElasticSearchPlugin in version 1.x., _(*18)

We work on stable, supported and up-to-date versions of packages. We recommend you to do the same., _(*19)

Usage

Scope of the search

This plugin offers a site-wide search feature and taxon search feature. It is easily extendable to add more search scopes. For example in Marketplace suite you can create Vendor specific search scope., _(*20)

Searching site-wide products

There is searchbar in the header of the shop., _(*21)

You can easily modify it by overriding the @BitBagSyliusElasticsearchPlugin/Shop/Menu/_searchForm.html.twig template or disable it by setting:, _(*22)

sylius_ui:
  events:
    sylius.shop.layout.header.content:
      blocks:
        bitbag_es_search_form:
          enabled: false

Searching taxon products

When you go now to the /{_locale}/products-list/{taxon-slug} page, you should see a totally new set of filters. You should see something like this:, _(*23)

You might also want to refer the horizontal menu to a new product list page. Follow below instructions to do so:, _(*24)

1. If you haven't done it yet, create two files:
   • _horizontalMenu.html.twig in templates/bundles/SyliusShopBundle/Taxon directory
   • _breadcrumb.html.twig in templates/bundles/SyliusShopBundle/Product/Show directory
2. Paste into those files content of respectively vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/ShopBundle/Resources/views/Taxon/_horizontalMenu.html.twig and vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/ShopBundle/Resources/views/Product/Show/_breadcrumb.html.twig files, replacing sylius_shop_product_index with bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin_shop_list_products in both of them.
3. Clean your cache with bin/console cache:clear command.
4. :tada:

If you're using vertical menu - follow steps above with _verticalMenu.html.twig file instead. It's in the same directory as the _horizontalMenu.html.twig file., _(*25)

Be aware! Elasticsearch does not handle dashes well. This plugin depends on the code field in Sylius resources. Please use underscores instead of dashes in your code fields., _(*26)

Excluding options and attributes in the filter menu

You might not want to show some specific options or attributes in the menu. You can set specific parameters for that:, _(*27)

parameters:
    bitbag_es_excluded_facet_attributes: ['jeans_material']
    bitbag_es_excluded_facet_options: ['t_shirt_size']

By default, all options and attributes filters are shown., _(*28)

It is also possible to disable options and attribute filters autodiscovery by setting the following parameters:, _(*29)

parameters:
    bitbag_es_facets_auto_discover: false

Then you have to manually register your filters:, _(*30)

Available filters: * TaxonFacet which allows to filter your search results by taxons using the ElasticSearch Terms aggregation. * AttributeFacet which allows to filter your search results by product attributes values using the ElasticSearch Terms aggregation. * OptionFacet which is the same as AttributeFacet but for product options. * PriceFacet which allows to filter search results by price range the ElasticSearch Histogram aggregation., _(*31)

Example of manual registration of filters:, _(*32)

services:
    bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.facet.attribute.t_shirt_brand:
      class: BitBag\SyliusElasticsearchPlugin\Facet\AttributeFacet
      arguments:
        - '@bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.property_name_resolver.attribute'
        - '@=service("sylius.repository.product_attribute").findOneBy({"code": "t_shirt_brand"})'
        - '@sylius.context.locale'

    bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.facet.registry:
      class: BitBag\SyliusElasticsearchPlugin\Facet\Registry
      calls:
        -   method: addFacet
            arguments:
              - t_shirt_brand
              - '@bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.facet.attribute.t_shirt_brand'
        - method: addFacet
          arguments:
            - price
            - '@bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.facet.price'
        - method: addFacet
          arguments:
            - taxon
            - '@bitbag_sylius_elasticsearch_plugin.facet.taxon'

Reindexing

By default, current indexes listen on all Doctrine events. You can override this setting for each index by overriding index definition in your config.yml file:, _(*33)

fos_elastica:
    indexes:
        bitbag_attribute_taxons:
            types:
                default:
                    persistence:
                        listener:
                            insert: true
                            update: false
                            delete: true

Indexes with bitbag_shop_product, bitbag_attribute_taxons and bitbag_option_taxons keys are available so far., _(*34)
