Algolia Webshop
Description
Algolia Webshop connects the Enso webshop filtering layer to Algolia.
When the application uses scout.driver=algolia and the Algolia integration is enabled, the package replaces the default database-backed webshop product and category filters with Algolia-backed implementations. It also keeps Algolia facet settings in sync with EAV filter changes used by the product catalog.
The package does not expose its own UI. It extends the existing webshop flow by rebinding filter services and by reacting to EAV attribute updates.
Installation
Install the package:
composer require laravel-enso/algolia-webshop
Make sure the host application already has:
laravel-enso/algoliainstalled and enabled- a working Algolia Scout configuration
- indexed webshop products
No additional routes or published assets are required by this package.
Features
- Switches webshop product filtering to Algolia-backed pagination and facet filtering.
- Switches category filter resolution to Algolia facets.
- Swaps the webshop sorts enum when Algolia search is active.
- Observes EAV attribute updates and queues Algolia facet setting updates.
- Chains EAV facet updates with product attribute resynchronization.
Usage
Once Algolia is enabled in the base integration settings and the Scout driver is set to algolia, the package bindings are applied automatically.
The category and product filter providers are resolved lazily and fall back to the core database implementations when Algolia is disabled.
EAV attributes marked as filterable are pushed into Algolia's attributesForFaceting through the queued UpdateEavFilters job.
