Another way of calculating the Order status I would like to share here:

On the Order.php model, I define this array:

1public $statuses = [
2    'placed_at' => 'Order Placed',
3    'packaged_at' => 'Order Packaged',
4    'shipped_at' => 'Order Shipped',
5];

Then, the status() function looks as follows:

1public function status()
2{
3    return collect($this->statuses)
4        ->last(fn ($status, $key) => filled($this->{$key}));
5}

Hi guys

Does anyone know how to change the limits on Meilisearch to bring more results down than the default of 20 please.

Further to my posts final conclusion on Meilisearch

Not the best search engine in the world

Using the same techiques as in the video Alex only shows two products

Doing the same thing brings the variations up on the category where no products are actually in that category so when you click to choose that product you get an error

CALL TO MAP FUNCTION A STRING

Thats problem one problem two is that if you have 9 products in that category the Meislearch will only show 6 on v0.21.1

On later versions it only shows 5 products so if you want to show the customer 100 products in that category Meilisearch is useless

public $category; public function render() { $search = Product::search('', function ($meilisearch, string $query, array $options) {

 1        $options['facetsDistribution'] = ['colour', 'size'];
 2
 3        return $meilisearch->search($query, $options);
 4
 5    })
 6    ->raw();
 7
 8    $products = $this->category->products->find(collect($search['hits'])->pluck('id'));
 9
10    return view('livewire.product-browser',[
11        'products' => $products
12    ]);
13}

As you can see exactly the same code as Alex types it bring back 6 and thats it.

[Lecture 19] What is if we delete a user? this will fail because of the user_id in the Cart. I have fixed that with a deleting method in User model. Then also the Email verification will fail according to breeze provided tests, wich i fixed with set uuid in cart to nullable.

Not sure that are the best way for fixing that but it works with all tests green.

I did this

public function closeyouraccount(User $user) { DB::table('orders') ->where('user_id', $user->id) ->update(['user_id' => null]);

1User::where('accountnumber', $user->accountnumber)
2    ->delete();
3Auth::logout();

And all other other tables

1    return redirect('/login')->with('status', 'Thankyou for being part of The Official Site Of Lee Weaver. You account was closed and data destroyed. Sorry to see you go.');

Hi guys question and I know this is nothing to do with what Alex has showed

Why is Meissearch only showing 6 products in the category when there are 18 and why are the filters that are not in that catgory showing any answers

  • 0
Lee

Update to my previous posts

For Meilsearch to work you would need Version 0.21.1

And this in your json

"meilisearch/meilisearch-php": "^0.19.0"

What Alex is showing is working on mine with these [versions but not repeat not work with newer versions

Facets Distribution was changed as of version 27 to facets which after trying too work with it with this course was a waste of time

So to conclude

When installing Meilisearch from their official website where you see

git checkout latest

Change latest to v0.21.1

Use the link for meilisearch.php in the composer json and what Alex is showing will work .

A note for Meiliseatrch developers is stop changing things and make the documentation easier to understand

It took me 3 days to work this out .

Hope it helps

A lot of people are probably wondering why facets distribution is causing so many problems

In the video Alex explains that the filters must be added manually in Postman

There is another way by creating a Scout Service Provider and under register

$client = app(Client::class); $client->index('products') ->updateFilterableAttributes(['colour', 'fragrance', 'theme', 'price', 'category_ids', 'size']);

This is mine

Now this sort of works but when I click on the category the attributes for every product in the database comes up not just the category

Now why is this

If you notice Alex is using Meilisearch v0.25.0

In this version at the time of recording everything was upto date

However Meilisearch has upgraded by 5 versions since then

In the the video on the product browser Alex shows this

$options['facetsDistribution'] = ['colour', 'fragrance', 'theme', 'size'];

On version 30 of Meilsearch facetsDistribution is un recognised because Meilisearch has took this out

And with no easy to understand documentation form Meilsearch were gonna struggle

One person tried Facets and it worked I tried it and it doesnt work .

Thats why thers so many problems .

Attributes and so on is defined in scout.php config file. https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/scout#configuring-filterable-data-for-meilisearch hope it will help. I am on the latest without any problems so far.

Doing exactly waht you said

No thats got nothing to with it

This line

1$options['filter'] = 'category_ids = ' . $this->category->id;

Alex refactors it to this

1$products = $this->category->products->find(collect($search['hits'])->pluck('id'));

And deletes the first line

Wrong

As soon as I left

1$options['filter'] = 'category_ids = ' . $this->category->id;

That line in worked liked a charm

$search = Product::search('', function ($meilisearch, string $query, array $options) {

 1    $filters = collect($this->queryFilters)->filter(fn($filter) => !empty($filter))
 2    ->recursive()
 3    ->map(function ($value, $key) {

10    $options['filter'] = null;
11
12    $options['filter'] = 'category_ids = ' . $this->category->id;

14    $options['facetsDistribution'] = ['colour', 'size', 'fragrance', 'theme'];

27    }
28
29    return $meilisearch->search($query, $options);
30
31})->raw();
32
33
34$maxPrice = $this->category->products->max('price');
35

37$products = $this->category->products->find(collect($search['hits'])->pluck('id'));

Hi. Help my ))) Lesson #33

Attribute category_ids is not filterable. This index does not have configured filterable attributes. 1:13 category_ids = 2 (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\app-shop\resources\views\categories\show.blade.php)

  • 0
Bilal

You need to make this field filterable!

First of all, add it to the "toSerachableArray()" function as follows:

public function toSearchableArray(): array { return array_merge( [ // ...

1            'category_ids' => $this->categories->pluck('id'),
2
3        ],
4       // ...
5    );
6}

Then it would help if you let Meilisearch know that this field is searchable. You can use the Postman Meiliearch collection, as Alex shows in the video. Another way of doing it, which is the way I did is by creating a new command that will add any field to Meilisearch.

Good luck,

Hi community, I am struggling with the price filter.

 1
 2$maxPrice = $category->products->max(fn ($product) => $product->price->getAmount());
 3$price = $request->get('price') ?? $maxPrice;
 4
 5 $search = Product::search(
 6            query: trim($request->get('search')) ?? '',
 7            callback: function (Indexes $meilisearch, string $query, array $options) use ($category, $filters, $price) {
 8                $options['filter'] = 'category_ids = ' . $category->id;
 9
10                if ($filters)
11                {
12                    $options['filter'] .= ' AND ' . $filters;
13                }
14
15                $options['filter'] .= ' AND price <= ' . $price;
16
17                $options['facets'] = ['size', 'color'];
18
19                return $meilisearch->search($query, $options);
20            },
21        )

The price filter here is not working. I've been reading about an issue with Laravel Scout/Meilisearch that integers are considered strings; hence, the '<=' never works. None of the products is returned.

I even tried to add a where() clause on the Product::search() before calling get(). This returns all products ignoring the price filter.

->where('price <=', $price)

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Bilal

My bad,

Inside the toSearchableArray() function, since I am using Price as Money:

public function toSearchableArray(): array { return array_merge( [ 'id' => $this->id, 'title' => $this->title, 'slug' => $this->slug, 'description' => $this->description, 'price' => intVal($this->price->getAmount()), 'category_ids' => $this->categories->pluck('id'), ], $this->variations->groupBy('type') ->mapWithKeys(fn ($variations, $key) => [ $key => $variations->pluck('title')]) ->toArray(), ); }

$this->price->getAmount() returns a string. Now I cast to integer; everything works well.

In case someone faces the same issue in the future :-)

Hi Alex,

I would like to ask, why the payment intent is attached to the cart and after successful payment that the cart is deleted and the order is created. This way we know that the order is paid because we create it after successful payment, but we have lost the payment intent relation. Maybe we can preserve converted carts and link it the with corresponding order or we can create order payments table, where we can add all order payments.

Hope you are well and continue this course as it is in Development for quite a long time.

Hi Alex,

Could you please provide a better way of getting cart variation stocks amount different from $variation->stocks->sum('amount') as stocks relation will grow with orders and refills

Also why would you prefer Laravel collection methods instead of normal foreach in syncAvailableQuantities for building $syncedQuantities as this calls a lot of methods and callbacks instead of 1 native loop?

Thank you for time and outstanding work!

Hi folks. I struggled with this error "Json deserialize error: unknown field facetsDistribution, expected one of q, offset, ...". Unknown to me, there had been a breaking change for the search endpoint. "facetsDistribution" search parameter has now been renamed "facets". https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch/releases. Thought that may help someone save some hours. I found it the hard way.

When we created the image gallery it was mentioned that we could present the images of the variations. How can I do this? I tried in many ways and I couldn't.

I tried: $this->product->variations->getMedia();

But it always gives an error that the collection does not exist or the method does not exist. How can I get the images of the variations? Because I'm interested in having an image of the product and the variations

Is this course now finished? I have enjoyed the content so far but if this is the end I am bitterly disappointed, I don't know if it's just me but I expected a lot more and think this is nowhere near complete yes it matches the demo on the first video but I just assumed that was a teaser and there was more behind the scenes, are we expected to always enter data directly into the database and manually upload product images via the command line, I expected that these things would at least be included in some sort of admin panel. There is also a lot of messy code were Alex says we'll come back to that later... we'll fix it we'll just do it like that for now... then never returns to it again? It still says under development but I have been following for over a week now with no new content.

Hi Chris! Because admin panels are essentially a course in themselves, I never intended to include one here. Understand that it’s pretty annoying having to do this via the database and command line but Nova would work great for this if you have it.

With the bits to fix up and refactor, I completely agree and I have a big list based on feedback which I’ll be adding. If you need anything specific feel free to get in touch and I’d be happy to help!

Great course! I have just noticed that the subtotal is getting sent through to the orders page which does not include shipping. Should I change the subtotal column in the orders table to total or add an extra column and include both? Then to get the total should I use getTotalProperty() or create a total() method in either App\Cart\Cart.php or App\Models\Order.php?

Really nice course so far(@part 30). I am enjoying it, just wondering if this application architecture can cover simple products also(for example a product as it is without any variations at all) along with the variable products without poorly "patching" it (for example fake variations). Maybe I am wrong but as it stands I think it will need a good revamp to be able to handle simple type products. I d love to hear your thoughts about it guys.

I tried it on the variations with the Sku variant on the products model and it doesnt work keeps saying foreach must be type of array string given when trying bring the product down so its looking for an array of products which would not be an array on the products table I keep asking Alex to show ius everyone is hes not answering

  • 0
Ilias

We could try to use a fake variation for the simple products and exclude it from filters, etc. but that is exactly what i am trying to avoid. I guess the whole product logic(components, models and cart) need a revamp to be able to use simple products without variations.

  • 0

I tried it wont work because the the variations not only works with an array it also needs a parent_id for the adjency list and that whould have to be in the products table which again takes in back to to a dropdown so you would need a new model and redirect if the product is sign le product with a a count

you need to add the attributes to the list of attributes that can be used for filtering on meilisearch

the easiest solutions to do this

1$client = app(Client::class);
2$client->index('products')
3->updateFilterableAttributes(['color', 'size'])

once before the search to update the index on meilisearch

You have to use Postman and import the meilisearch into postman and goto to update the filterable attributes Alex shows you from Episode 31 onwards but from your doing $options['filter'] = 'price = 45500'; no its just 'price' but the problem is if your like me ad postman wont update the filterable attributes you got a problem Alex some where in the videos shows how to do it without post man but Ive not seen that yet hope that helps

The list of attributes that can be used for filtering in Meilisearch is null by default, to get around it,

add all your settings inside config/scout.php

 1'meilisearch' => [
 2    'host'     => env('MEILISEARCH_HOST', 'http://localhost:7700'),
 3    'key'      => env('MEILISEARCH_KEY', null),
 4    'settings' => [
 5        \App\Models\Product::class => [
 6            'updateFilterableAttributes'=> ['director','genres',],
 7            'updateStopWords' => ['the','a','an'],
 8
 9        ],
10    ],
11],

and in the register method of the AppServiceProvider sync the settings with meilisearch. You can put it in separate service provider if you want

 1public function register()
 2    {
 3            if (class_exists(MeiliSearch::class)) {
 4                $client = app(Client::class);
 5                   $config = config('scout.meilisearch.settings');
 6                collect($config)
 7                ->each(function ($settings, $class) use ($client) {
 8                          $model = new $class;
 9                        $index = $client->index($model->searchableAs());
10                        collect($settings)
11                        ->each(function ($params, $method) use ($index) {
12                                   $index->{$method}($params);
13                        });
14
15                   });
16             }
17
18    }

you can also put into an artisan command

Right Meilisearch is picking up the variation indexes

public function toSearchableArray() { return array_merge([

 1  'id' => $this->id,
 2  'title' => $this->title,
 3  'slug' => $this->slug,
 4  'price' => $this->price,

Alex a quick one about the way Categories in EP 3 is setup using parent_id on the same table with slug being unique

How will a category structure of Brands having Nike as a child, same Nike will be a child of Men, women, kids, and accessories category, Adidas will have similar structure likewise all brands

1BRANDS
2    NIKE                ADIDAS
3        MEN                    MEN
4        WOMEN                WOMEN
5        KIDS                KIDS
6        ACCESSORIES         ACCESSORIES

Clothing will also have Men, Women, kids as children, since slug is unique these items can't be duplicated. How will these issues be solved using the same structure demonstrated in Ep 3?

  • 0

I think that maybe you can combine the slug from the parent category and the new category. Something like: nike-men, adidas-men

Now another question!! But now Livewire and image upload.

I'm applying what I'm learning in the course in a test e-commerce for the company I work for.

But I have the need that when the user chooses the product, he has to upload an image and I need to associate this image with the shopping cart and the order.

The upload itself, I'm already doing it and it falls into a temporary folder and saved in a temporary table to only later associate it with the user/cart/order.

But I can't find the best way to make this association. And I would like to use the media gallery as we use for product images.

Let's talk about Meilisearch!

It was very interesting and constructive to know how Meilisearch works to index products to speed up searches.

But let's suppose that we have an e-commerce administrative area and that we can add new products and variations, how can we make sure that meilisearch is always updated with the table of products and product variants that we have?

is it possible to do this directly from Laravel (PHP) or would we have to do a cronjob that every x time would update the meilisearch?

What would be the best way to get around this situation?

Suggestion: When saving the order details like subtotal, you should also be storing the "current" price of the variation that is ordered. Reason is when displaying back the orders, you're displaying the price for the variation as it currently is in the products table, but that price may have changed since the order was placed. If that happens the price show for the order won't match up to the prices of the variation.

Also, you should be storing the shipping rate that was applied to the order. Same scenario applies here as my paragraph above. I'm sure you're getting my point. Basically any price that was used during an order should be stored for future reference so that it is accurate to that actual order and not current pricing.

On episode 22 (Adding items to cart) I get a strange 500 error when using this code block to update the existing item quantity.

This this is the block in question:

 1public function add(Variation $variation, $quantity = 1)
 2{
 3    if ($existingVariation = $this->getVariation($variation)) {
 4        $quantity += $existingVariation->pivot->quantity;
 5    }
 6    $this->instance()->variations()->syncWithoutDetaching([
 7        $variation->id => [
 8            'quantity' => min($quantity, $variation->stockCount()),
 9        ],
10    ]);
11}

If I remove the IF Statement I can add 1 product, but if the IF Statement is there I get the livewire 500 error.

On the Network DevTools it say it's coming from the product-selector | Status 500 | Type: fetch

There is No Stacktrace or error. Only a blank black modal pops up.

Okay was definitely a Php error: found in the log Out of memory (allocated 23471325184) (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) Cart\Cart.php on line 65:

5    }
6    return $this->instance = \App\Models\Cart::whereUuid($this->session->get(config('cart.session.key')))->first();
7}

Got caught in a infinite loop in the If statement. was returning the this->instance() method rather only the $this->instance.

This fixed all the problems. =)

1    protected function instance()

Hello, when creating a new category with new products and variations such as:

Category: Coffee Machines product: luxury espresso machine. variation: fresh milk container

The "coffee machines" category page also lists the variations of other products as filters.. a size 9 rainbow colored coffee machine would be nice, but it doesn't really make sense. did I miss something about this in the episodes? I think it has something to do with [facetsDistribution]?

  • 0

Product variations basically as trees, is this a common way of doing this? It kinda makes sense but I have not seen it done like this while reviewing ecommerce solutions.

Also, I'm curious to see how that would work in an admin UI/UX wise. Everything is done now directly on the database, but that is not real life. Are you planning to do (some) admin functionality too?

Hey Alex, thanks for this course. I was playing around with this and notice that if you have one product in the "New in" category only with one color variation and size this shows the others. Is normal this behaviour? I mean, I think that the live wire component must show the variations related to the product that list.

So, if you select the variation "rainbow" this clear the other 2 variations and if you revert that selection all the variations shows up.

Alex, if you haven't already planned on this suggestion I would like to see the browser query string updated with the searched filters so that when you click on a product and then hit the back button, the browser will bring you back to the same search filters. This concept is very important and logical in these kinds of searches.

Thanks for the suggestion. This should be pretty easy to achieve because Livewire has native support for this. I'll schedule in an episode to cover it 👍

Hi, when you use cknow/laravel-money like that, how do you handle price inputs in backoffice? Any advices?

  • 0
Omar

One method of achieving that is to use a Mutator (setter) in your model (in this case Product) like below:

1public function setPriceAttribute($value)
2{
3      $this->attributes['price'] = $value * 100;
4}

So if user entered 50 for price, when the model is saving the record, it will multiply the price by 100, and when you show the price in your views it will show the formatted and expected price.

I hope this helps.

Marcel

As far as I know Meilisearch got updated and now you need to be explicit on which properties are filterable. Laravel Scout however has no way to define these filterable properties. There are some workarounds, but it requires a bit more work. See the Meilisearch documentation for the updateFilterableAttributes method. I got stuck here as well, will have a look tomorrow if I can find a workaround or if downgrading Meilisearch helps.

  • 0
Marcel

I got it working with Meilisearch v0.25.2 now. Like I said, recent versions of Meilisearch require you to be explicit about what properties can be filtered. However, Laravel Scout doesn't offer this option. By looking at the documentation of Meilisearch, you can use the updateFilterableAttributes() method for that. This method needs to run at runtime, so I created a ScoutServiceProvide for that and added it in the boot method.

$client = app(Client::class); $client->index('products')->updateFilterableAttributes([ 'category_ids' ]);

Now you can use category_ids as a filter in your ProductBrowser livewire component.

Made it to the episode where you use Postman to add these filterable types now, didn't think of that! And although the category_ids are set explicit and you no longer need the serviceprovider for that, you can still use it to add the size and color attributes as well.

AM not sure why my product variation relationship ain't working, I ended up doing this in the selectedVariationModel

return Variation::find($this->selectedVariation)->descendants()->depthFirst()->get();

Also my inline conditional statement aint working too. so I had to remove the "?" in the statement. e.g

From: {{ Str::title($variations->first()?->type) }}

To: {{ Str::title($variations->first()->type) }}

Is there anything am missing in my setup?

You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require cknow/laravel-money:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require cknow/laravel-money:^2.1" if you know which you need.

I have a similar thing when I used Laravel 8, so it worked well. Now I have a similar mistake with Laravel 9.

Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires cknow/laravel-money ^6.2 -> satisfiable by cknow/laravel-money[v6.2.0]. - cknow/laravel-money v6.2.0 requires illuminate/support ^7.0|^8.0 -> found illuminate/support[v7.0.0, ..., 7.x-dev, v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

Problem solved. I used the "akaunting/laravel-money" package. With Laravel 9 it works great.

Thanks Martin, This suggestion worked for me, with Laravel 9, PHP 8.1.2 inside docker.

The "cknow/laravel-money" package has now been updated. He now supports Laravel 9.

Another cool course. Alex, how to implement if some product not have any variations???

  • 0
Alex

In that case you'd just have to add a single variation for the product. Then, switch around the logic to automatically select the first variation if there's only one. I'll see if I can handle this towards the end of the course 👍

Can't wait to get started!. I'm curious do we use Laravel Cashier to handle the payment processing portion??

Yep, we're using Laravel Cashier.

Why not use laravel adjacency list for variations too? It's pretty much the same concept as categories.

Alex

That's what we are doing.

Hi Alex, will this cover any verification at checkout? For example, if two customers are buying the same item with low stock value?

  • 0
Alex

Yes, this is covered! Checks are performed on the cart page and checking out and will flash a message to the user that their cart has changes.

Pretty Amazing course. Will you cover the functionality like deals/sale and discounts, where customers can add coupon codes for certain percentage of discounts later in course?

  • 1
Alex

Not coupons yet, but that's an easy addition later down the line once we're done with the base stuff.

How would you deal with the URLs to make them more SEO friendly? e.g. categories/brands/nike/new-in instead of just /categories/new-in.

Alex

Great point Lee, I'll note this down and cover it later on in the course.

This looks amazing, Alex. Will you be making shipping costs dynamic based on destination city or country (i.e. city 1 = $5, city 2 = $10, etc.) ?

  • 0
Alex

Not just yet, perhaps something for later on. Right now, they're just fixed shipping costs.

If you look what alex is doing addnig of the subtotal hes taking this from the variations just add the weight of the product in the variations and do the same thing like this public function weight() { return $this->instance()->variations

1               ->reduce(function ($carry, $variation) {
2
3               return $carry + ($variation->product->weight * $variation->pivot->quantity);
4               });
5}

on App\Cart\Cart then on the shipping types table put al the weights and names of shipping

The Livewire\Checkout

public function mount(CartInterface $cart) { $weight = $cart->weight();

 1    $this->shippingTypes = ShippingType::where('weight', '>', $weight)->first()->get();
 2
 3    $this->shippingTypeId = $this->shippingTypes->first()->id;
 4
 5    if($user = auth()->user())
 6    {
 7        $this->accountForm['email'] = $user->email;
 8    }
 9
10}

The problem ive got itll bring all the relevent shipping tables down that correspond with weight after the weight it has so if the weight is over 2 it wont bring down les than that weight but its bring down weights that are not needed gott a figure that out

Awesome Alex! Question though:

Will you be covering displaying/selecting variants with images and/or color options?

  • 0
Alex

Hey Gavin. Did you mean having images attached to each variant (.e.g. when you add White Air Force 1 trainers, it shows a white shoe?). Or did you mean different variations? If it's the latter, you can pretty much add any 'type' of variation you like. It's completely flexible.

  • 0
Gavin

Yes, the first one. That's how for instance Amazon and Zalando do it and would be nice to get an idea of how to implement that. For me it's one of those things I just can't get my head around how to do it.

  • 0
Alex

So, in the course we're going to be attaching images to each variant. The image gallery you see in the demo are just two images attached to products. So, when you add/buy a White Air Force 1, you'll see that image in your cart/orders.
