Product Search with our PHP client

Looking for setup prerequisites, authentication details, and package references? Start with the PHP SDK landing page.

Start by making a Searcher-instance.

use Relewise\Searcher;
// You have to `use` the above to create a Searcher.

$searcher = new Searcher(
  "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001", 
  "your API Key");
$searcher->serverUrl = "the server URL for the dataset";

To make requests with the SDK you need to use the types from our PHP SDK. The types are located in the namespace Relewise\Models and an example of using a concrete type could be the following:

use Relewise\Models\ProductSearchRequest;

Before going any further, read about handling different types of users here.

Also remember to specify your Server URL in your request.

The following shows an example on how to perform a product search with 3 selected facets.

$request = ProductSearchRequest::create(
  Language::create("da"),
  Currency::create("DKK"),
  $this->getUser(),
  "Search overlay",
  "gaffel",
  skip: 0,
  take: 10
);

$request->setSettings(
  ProductSearchSettings::create()
    ->setSelectedProductProperties(
      SelectedProductPropertiesSettings::create()
        ->setDisplayName(true)
        ->setCategoryPaths(true)
        ->setBrand(true)
        ->setDataKeys("Description", "ImagePath")
        ->setAllVariants(true)
    )
);

$request->setFacets(
  ProductFacetQuery::create()
    ->addToItems(
      BrandFacet::create("77", "93")
    )
    ->addToItems(
      ProductDataStringValueFacet::create(
        DataSelectionStrategy::Product,
        "Environment",
        array("Selection 1"),
        Null
      )
    )
    ->addToItems(
      ProductDataBooleanValueFacet::create(
        DataSelectionStrategy::Product,
        "InStock",
        array(true),
        Null
      )
    )
);

$response = $searcher->productSearch($request);

Using facets and selecting values.

Adding the following code to the request will return a facet with the different brands from the products matching the search.

$request->setFacets(
  ProductFacetQuery::create()
    ->addToItems(
      BrandFacet::create()
    )
);

When the user selects a brand, update the code to the following:

$request->setFacets(
  ProductFacetQuery::create()
    ->addToItems(
      BrandFacet::create("93")
    )
);
