Shopinvader Product Variant Selector

This is shopinvader the odoo module for the new generation of e-commerce.

This module adds the field variant_selector in the product variant metadata (exported to algolia or elastic). The value of the field contains the possible combinations of variants that are available. This ease frontend development of variant selectors.

Understanding the way to select attributes

It’s also important to understand how variants are selected and how attributes’ values are filtered.

Imagine a case where you have shoes with - 6 sizes: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 - 3 colors: Green, Red, Yellow

and some exceptions: - Green is available in size: 18, 19 - Red is available in size: 15, 16, 17 - Yellow is available in size: 18, 19, 20

In your ERP you have configured to select first the size then the color. And the default variant is the first “Green 18”

Step 1 : You go to the page of your product.

You will have:

size : 15, 16, 17, [18], 19, 20
color : [Green], (Red), Yellow

[] mean selected
() mean not available

Only the color Green and Yellow are available because the size 18 is selected.

Step 2: Now you select the color Yellow

You will have:

size : 15, 16, 17, [18], 19, 20
color : Green, (Red), [Yellow]

Even if you select the color Yellow the size are now filtered because the second filter cannot affect the first one.

Step 3: Now you select the size 16

As only the Red color is available for this size you are redirected to the Red shoes and you have

size : 15, [16], 17, 18, 19, 20
color : (Green), [Red], (Yellow)

Why not trying to filter the size when changing the color?

Allowing this would mean that if you select the size 16 you will have something like this:

size : 15, [16], 17, (18), (19), (20)
color : (Green), [Red], (Yellow)

And you will be locked in this situation without any possibility to select the Yellow shoes with size 19. There is an order for filling/selecting the value of each options and selecting a value should only impact the next attribute not the previous one.

This is the Odoo side of Shopinvader.
