Laravel Akeneo Products

Easily export products to Akeneo from your ERP.

This package is built to easily create products in Akeneo from your ERP or other (external) source, without the complexity of the different field types in Akeneo. The structure of attributes is all taken care of by the package. This means that a simple key-value array is already sufficient to start upserting products.

Aside from attributes, you can also set a family, categories and all other data you would normally be able to via the API.

For more advanced use cases, it is also possible to add your own data to the payload.

Products are retrieved and updated in small chunks to spread the load if your project has access to a lot of products. Updates of these products are only sent to Akeneo if something has been modified to prevent unnecessary requests.

Prerequisites

This package makes use of the Akeneo Client. Make sure to follow it's README to install and configure it correctly.

Installation

Install the composer package.

composer require justbetter/laravel-akeneo-products

Setup

Publish the configuration of the package.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\ServiceProvider" --tag=config

Add the following commands to your scheduler.

<?php

$schedule->command(\JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Commands\Product\ProcessProductsCommand::class)->everyMinute();
$schedule->command(\JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Commands\ProductModel\ProcessProductModelsCommand::class)->everyMinute();

How it works

This section will describe the process of products but product models will be similar in usage.

When a product is retrieved, it will fetch the product from the (external) source. If the retrieved data is not null, it will be saved in the database. If the payload of the database model has been changed, the update-property of the model will be set to true. This way, the package is aware of updates and can do them in small batches. The numbers can be tweaked in your retriever class.

When a product has already been retrieved in the past, the retrieve-property of the model can be set to true in order to automatically fetch the data again. This is done by the ProcessProductsCommand, if added to your scheduler.

All products saved in the database will be processed under the following conditions:

1. If retrieve is set to true, the product will be fetched again from the (external) source.
2. If update is set to true, the product will be upserted to Akeneo.

This package does not contain a way to retrieve "all" products. If you wish to retrieve all products daily, you will have to dispatch the RetrieveProductJob with an identifier yourself.

<?php

use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Jobs\Product\RetrieveProductJob;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Jobs\ProductModel\RetrieveProductModelJob;

RetrieveProductJob::dispatch('::identifier::');

RetrieveProductModelJob::dispatch('::code::');

Retrieving products

First, start by creating your own retriever as this is how the package will be interacting with the (external) source.

By building up a ProductData class, the package knows how to send this data to Akeneo.

Make sure you have set your retriever in the configuration file.

This package also ships with an Attribute model, which is meant to dynamically create the payload. We have also written a Nova integration to make this even easier as it provides a mapping resource.

Example

This is an example of how this package can be used, using a configured attribute mapping.

<?php

use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Contracts\Akeneo\FormatsAttributeValues;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Data\ProductData;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Enums\MappingType;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Models\Mapping;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Retrievers\Product\BaseProductRetriever;

class ExampleProductRetriever extends BaseProductRetriever
{
    public function __construct(
        protected FormatsAttributeValues $formatValue
    ) {
    }

    public function retrieve(string $identifier): ?ProductData
    {
        // Get all configured attributes from the database.
        $attributes = Mapping::of(MappingType::Attribute)->get();

        // This would be the product fetched from an ERP system.
        $product = [
            'SKU' => '1000',
            'Title' => 'Ziggy',
            'Category_Code' => 'STUFFED_TOYS',
            // ...
        ];

        // Build up the "values" array for Akeneo.
        $values = [
            //
        ];

        foreach ($product as $key => $value) {
            /** @var ?Mapping $mapped */
            $mapped = $attributes->firstWhere('source', '=', $key);

            if ($mapped === null || $value === null) {
                continue;
            }

            // Format the raw value into an appropriate attribute value for Akeneo.
            $data = $this->formatValue->format($mapped->destination, $value);

            // Add the value to the list, with the Akeneo field as the key.
            $values[$mapped->destination] = $data;
        }

        $data = [
            'identifier' => $identifier,
            'values' => $values,
        ];

        $family = Mapping::get(MappingType::Family, $product['Category_Code']);

        // Optionally, add a family. Note that you can also add categories.
        if ($family) {
            $data['family'] = $family->destination;
        }

        return ProductData::of($data);
    }
}

Product models can be implemented similarly use the following example:

<?php

use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Data\ProductModelData;
use JustBetter\AkeneoProducts\Retrievers\ProductModel\BaseProductModelRetriever;

class ExampleProductModelRetriever extends BaseProductModelRetriever
{
    public function retrieve(string $code): ?ProductModelData
    {
        //

        return ProductModelData::of([
            //
        ]);
    }
}

Commands

This package ships with a few commands.

Products

Retrieve a product by it's identifier, it will automatically be saved to the database.

php artisan akeneo-products:retrieve {identifier}

Process all products, this includes retrieving and updating products.

php artisan akeneo-products:process

Update a product by it's identifier. This will manually trigger an update towards Akeneo, regardless if the product is up-to-date.

php artisan akeneo-products:update {identifier}

Product models

Retrieve a product model by it's code, it will automatically be saved to the database.

php artisan akeneo-products:model:retrieve {code}

Process all product models, this includes retrieving and updating product models.

php artisan akeneo-products:model:process

Update a product model by it's code. This will manually trigger an update towards Akeneo, regardless if the product model is up-to-date.

php artisan akeneo-products:model:update {code}

Quality

To ensure the quality of this package, run the following command:

composer quality

This will execute three tasks:

1. Makes sure all tests are passed
2. Checks for any issues using static code analysis
3. Checks if the code is correctly formatted
