@azngeek

@pawonpawon The thing is that i thought that there was something like an API-Import-layer which could be used. I did not know that i need to extend or write an additional client.

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@azngeek read these:
https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-6-en/products/properties
and
https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-6-en/settings/custom-fields

It took me some days of messing around before I noticed this is not the same as in magento

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@azngeek The interesting part is how to orchestrate the individual steps and if you want to use the Sync API for some of the steps.

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@azngeek Well, you could use the Magento Importer plugin from SW.

It works but it dumps all magento product attributes as 'custom fields' I believe and it needs some tweaking depending on the source data. For me, it was in the end easier to build a 'bridge' and use the api

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

i have an existing data-integration layer based an Apache NiFi which i could easily extend to connect it to shopware. The question is: Do i need to write my own import-api for the product import or can i reuse the existing sync api for all tasks?

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

you can use the SW sync api since (as far as I know) is just a wrapper around the various admin endpoints but allows multiple create/updates in one go

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

The Magento Importer is not suitable in mid term as we need to sync the data between erp and shop.

@henrikvolmer

Is there a way to always display the cheapest variant on the product lists?

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

posting product data on the API is relatively straight forward. The fun starts when importing old orders :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@henrikvolmer with custom code for sure ;)

@pawonpawon did you import products with media and variants?

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

variants: no
media: yes

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

@pawonpawon So if i take a look at this documentation i can not find an example about how the payload needs to look like. Where did you get that information?

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@azngeek I just hit F12 in the admin and log the requests

henrikvolmer

@henrikvolmer

@mikewink Yes, but then I would always have to load all variants and there are about 500 variants per master :/

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@pawonpawon yes, then it's rather simple. 😅

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

@pawonpawon i guess this is the "best practice" :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@henrikvolmer do you import your products (variants)?

@azngeek You would see the payload format when you do check the network request in your browser or check the Swagger UI (if that still works in 6.2).

henrikvolmer

@henrikvolmer

Yes, they will imported by an erp system, but the system can't do it "on the fly"

Mike Wink

@mikewink

it = Shopware showing the cheapest of them all? Are there rules that alter prices after import?

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

@mikewink So you mean. If i create the products in the admin-menu manually i need to log all the requests from the network tab and just replay it in postman etc.

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@azngeek yes

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@azngeek yes you can just see what Shopware does (eat your own dog food). It has to use the same API like you so why not see what SW does. Start simple. Add a product with the minimum values and go from there.

@azngeek

@mikewink @pawonpawon Yeah. That is useful information. I will do it that way. For any reason i thought i could do it the easy way :)

henrikvolmer

@henrikvolmer

There are no custom rules that adjust the prices afterwards. But because shopware displays a random variant of a master on product lists, this is not always the cheapest

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@azngeek I have started a thread under @mikewink post

Mike Wink

@mikewink

No it does not in 6.2 anymore. You can set the default variant now!

@henrikvolmer so we set the default variant during import

henrikvolmer

@henrikvolmer

Ah okay... I didn't know that feature. I'll try that. Thanks for the help

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@henrikvolmer you're welcome.

@aleckscastro

@pawonpawon @mikewink You guys should definitely work on WMS / ERP solutions for Shopware 6!

Mike Wink

@mikewink

I do, poormens version called Airtable. 😅

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

I went a bit overboard .. this is my sync app now

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@pawonpawon Niiiice! 🏆

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

@mikewink thnx :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

See, with Airtable I get the UI for free and my Excel loving customers can work in their well known and understood data table mindset.

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

I do not trust anything without schema validation :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

But I plan to bring them over to a EasyAdmin 3 backend once it's is released. I was thinking Laravel Nova first, but why switch "system" when EA can do the things I need as well.

pawonpawon

@pawonpawon

Nice. I never used Airtable. Can you post requests, etc ?

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@azngeek what's a validation schema ? 😅

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

@mikewink Somethink like XSD for XML, JSON-Schema for JSON, etc. :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

Airtable comes with a REST API per "database". So you can do whatever the API offers.

@azngeek I know what you mean, but that is Shopware 6. We like it KISS! ;)

Don Bosco van Hoi

@azngeek

If you have a ton of product updates a day you want to ensure that the database will never be in an inconsistent state

lol

@mikewink how is your general developer experience? Sounds like it is a huge sandbox :)

Mike Wink

@mikewink

@azngeek that's something that the "engine" of SW takes care of to a certain degree. But yes, you could layer validation on top or maybe extend core where needed.

How to override the allowed_extensions: in the shopware.yaml?
