Filtering products by custom model field via swell-js

[logeshswell]

How to implement a usecase to fetch a list of food dishes available in a particular restaurant, where there can be 'm' restaurants each having 'n' food dishes?

[logeshswell]

1. Create a custom content model Restaurant with at least 2 fields slug ("dominos") and name ("Domino's Pizza") along with auto-generated fields id, date_created and date_updated.

• Model data could be accessible from the Swell frontend APIs (or swell-js) if it is created with the content namespace.

2. In Product model containing the actual information of food dishes, create a custom lookup field (restaurant_id) that is mapped to the restaurant model.

• restaurant_id refers to the restaurant to which the food dish belongs.

3. You can use the following method to fetch the list of records:

import swell from 'swell-js'
swell.init('store_id', 'public_key')

queryParams = {
  restaurant_id: 'dominos_id_value',
  expand: 'restaurant'
}
products = await swell.products.list(queryParams)

Can I use slug value ("dominos") instead of auto-generated id for querying products?

Yes, you can handle it in 2 ways.

1. You can either add a custom query for restaurant_id field.
2. Make slug field as a secondary field in Restaurant model. [Recommended]

Please follow the below instructions for the recommended approach:

1. Navigate to Restaurant Model using this link: https://store_id.swell.store/admin/settings/models/com.content_restaurant
2. Click Actions > View in console
3. Change it to PUT request type and add the below dict in Body.

{
  "secondary_field": "slug"
}

5. Reload the swell dashboard and navigate to Product model using this link: https://store_id.swell.store/admin/settings/models/com.products
6. Choose Edit button of restaurant_id field and click Advanced options toggle from the popup.
7. Choose Secondary (slug) from Lookup to field dropdown and click Save button.

Now, you can use the slug value instead of auto-generated id to query the products of your choice:

queryParams = {
  restaurant_id: 'dominos', // slug value
  expand: 'restaurant'
}
products = await swell.products.list(queryParams)
