How to Use _findProductsByCriteria
Method#
The _findProductsByCriteria
method allows you to perform a product search based on a flexible set of search criteria. It constructs the search URL dynamically and fetches the data using the specified criteria.Usage Steps:#
1.
Create an object where each key-value pair represents a search filter. The keys are filter parameters, and the values are the corresponding values to filter by.
2.
Define the Callback Function:The callback
function will handle the results returned from the search.
3.
Invoke the _findProductsByCriteria
method with the search criteria and callback function.
4.
The callback
function will receive the search results as its parameter.
Example:#
The _findProductsByCriteria
method is called with searchCriteria
specifying filters like page
, pageSize
, categoryId
, and priceRange
.
The handleResults
function processes the retrieved products.
Common Use Cases:#
1.
Use this method to implement a comprehensive search functionality where users can specify multiple search criteria to find products.
2.
The method allows dynamic construction of the search URL based on various criteria, making it suitable for applications with diverse and customizable search options.
3.
Flexible API Integration:Easily integrate with APIs that support query parameters for filtering products, leveraging the dynamic URL construction.
Notes:#
The _buildProductSearchUrl
function constructs the URL by encoding search criteria into query parameters. Ensure that the baseUrl
is set appropriately for your environment.
Keys with null
values are filtered out of the URL to avoid invalid query parameters. Ensure that your searchCriteria
object is properly constructed.
The _fetchData
function (assumed to be implemented elsewhere) is used to perform the actual data fetch from the constructed URL. Ensure this function is defined to handle the API request.
Update the baseUrl
in _buildProductSearchUrl
to point to the correct API endpoint. If your API is served from a different base URL, make sure to include it here.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively use the _findProductsByCriteria
method to implement a flexible and powerful product search feature, accommodating a wide range of search filters and requirements.Modified at 2024-08-20 13:02:05
