hello,
I have technical question,how to override search engine in YVES and change url in view ?
I override this file and search results go from my module but that is a correct way ?
project/src/Pyz/Yves/ShopUi/Theme/default/components/molecules/search-form/search-form.twig
{% define data = {
searchUrl: path('custom-search-module'),
searchValue: app.request.get('q')
} %}
and i want learn good practice in spryker.

Hi Kacper, do you have an external 3rd party system that does “search” for you? Which one, btw (Spryker might have an integration)?

USLUHK9SQ

yes i have external system,

Andriy Netseplyayev

do you know, what system it is?

USLUHK9SQ

its custom api

USLUHK9SQ

i must send data from input to other api, and shows results in spryker

USLUHK9SQ

my idea it's good ? custom module and doing this ?

Andriy Netseplyayev

gotcha. Then, the right way would be to keep Yves as-is, and overwrite the SearchClient, to make it communicate with external system, instead of Elastic Search

Andriy Netseplyayev

@USLUHK9SQ is that only “search” functionality handled by the external system?

USLUHK9SQ

but when i override file like above, the search go to my module and i not using search client

USLUHK9SQ

on this moment only search functionality

USLUHK9SQ

so my idea is good or bad ?

USLUHK9SQ

i can do this like you suggest me,
which way is better ?

Andriy Netseplyayev

It’s incomplete, I would say. Your request is going to another system, yes. But what’s next? How do you display the results?

Andriy Netseplyayev

do you have all the information needed for that? Also, what about “suggestion search” feature?

USLUHK9SQ

on the spryker result page,

USLUHK9SQ

like on screen, witch i sent

Andriy Netseplyayev

let’s put it like that:
if your external system returns you everything you need to display data, filter it and navigate through it - your idea is good. But as soon as you need any connection with data that you have in Spryker - it won’t work the right way

USLUHK9SQ

"suggestion search" i don't know about this yet

USLUHK9SQ

okey thanks for your help

Andriy Netseplyayev

what could be easier, btw (from replacing the SearchClient) - is to replace/implement the CatalogClientInterface - the interface there is quite simple, and that it is not bound too much with Elastic search content

Andriy Netseplyayev

that would be the right way I would recommend

Andriy Netseplyayev

replacing the ext. URL in Yves - might be fast but veeery fragile thing. If you’re building a proof of concept only - go for it. Otherwise, I would not recommend that

USLUHK9SQ

its will be big project

USLUHK9SQ

so you suggest: "replace/implement the CatalogClientInterface"

USLUHK9SQ

?

Andriy Netseplyayev

Yes, I would go for it, as a starting point

Andriy Netseplyayev

afterwards, you could then cleanup/disable everything related to the elastic search, like publishing products from Pub&Sync

Andriy Netseplyayev

at least we’ve done so on one of the projects and it worked like a charm for us. We had also product data coming from the external api (so no products in Spryker at all), too - that was more tricky, but it worked
