This non-visual widget sends requests to a server and receives responses that can be used in other widgets. Unlike the Ajax widget, this one allows you to work with products based on options, which are created in the PIM module.

{
 "name": "product-request",
 "type": "pim-ajax",
 "params": {...}
}

Requests

The pim-ajax widget can return mockups, designs, and variants in a single request. To select the requested objects, specify them in the settings. You can choose one object, any two, or all three at once. Options will also be returned by default.

In the following example, we defined the pim-ajax widget getting only designs from the server.

{
    "name": "pim-ajax",
    "type": "pim-ajax",
    "params": {
        "settings": {
            "designs": {
                "enabled": true
            }
        }
    }
}

Events

You can specify callback functions that will work when your request completes successfully or fails. In eventsCallbacks you can define different onError and onSuccess callbacks for options, mockups, designs, and variants.

{
    "name": "pim-ajax",
    "type": "pim-ajax",
    "params": {
        "settings": {
            "designs": {
                "enabled": true
            }
        },
        "eventsCallbacks": {
            "designs": {
                "onError": "{{ #function(err) console.warn(err); }}",
                "onSuccess": "{{ #function(response) console.warn(response); }}"
            }
        }
    }
}

SKU

The currentSku property keeps the SKU of a product variant. It allows a customer to see the price.

Here, SKU is obtained from the pim-design-selector widget.

{
    "name": "pim-ajax",
    "type": "pim-ajax",
    "params": {
        "currentSku": "{{ $['pim-design-selector']._?.sku ?? null }}",
        "settings": {
            "designs": {
                "enabled": true
            }
        }
    }
}

Choices

This parameter returns a key-value pairs, where a key is an optionId, and a value is a single value or an array representing the optionValue. Options and their values will be the filters for design variants.

{
    "name": "pim-ajax",
    "type": "pim-ajax",
    "params": {
        "choices": "{{ $['pim-options']._ }}",
        "currentSku": "{{ $['pim-design-selector']._?.sku ?? null }}",
        "settings": {
            "designs": {
                "enabled": true
            }
        }
    }
}
