Is it possible to create faceted search in CT using product attributes?

I am able to create faceted search using variants' attributes: 

.plusFacets(facets -> facets.allVariants().attribute().ofString(sizeDescriptionAttribute).allTerms())

But I haven't managed to perform the same if I wanted to do it using products' attributes mixed with variants' attributes.

Is it possible to perform such operation?

Solution

  • You can use a -> {} syntax to build more complex process. In example: 

    .plusFacets(facets -> { 
    Object variants = facets.allVariants().attribute().ofString(sizeDescriptionAttribute).allTerms();
    Object products= searchForProducts(fecets);
    return mixOf(variants, products);
}).doMoreStuff();

    So this whill give you a mix. You just need to implement missing methods or use similar syntax.
