Introduction to WooCommerce Weaviate

Introduction

WooCommerce Weaviate is a powerful search engine that lets users search for products on WooCommerce-powered online stores. It relies on the Weaviate technology, which is an open-source, decentralized search engine that is designed to handle large-scale data sets.

With WooCommerce Weaviate, online store owners can provide their customers with a fast and efficient search experience. It’s incredibly easy to set up and use and can be customized to meet the specific requirements of each online store.

Using WooCommerce Weaviate with PHP Client

To get started with WooCommerce Weaviate, you’ll first need to install the PHP client for Weaviate. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

composer require seithq/weaviate-php-client

Once you’ve installed the PHP client, you can start using it to communicate with Weaviate. Here’s an example of how you can use the PHP client to search for products:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Weaviate\Client\ApiException;
use Weaviate\Client\Configuration;
use Weaviate\Client\Api\GraphQLApi;
use Weaviate\Client\Model\GraphQLRequest;
use Weaviate\Client\Model\GraphQLResponse;

$config = Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('ApiKeyAuth', $api_key);

$query = <<<GRAPHQL
 {
  Search {
   Products {
    SearchResult {
     edges {
      node {
       id
       name
       imageUrl
       price(currencyCode: "USD")
       slug
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
}
GRAPHQL;

$request = new GraphQLRequest([
'query' => $query,
]);

$api_instance = new GraphQLApi(new \GuzzleHttp\Client(), $config);

try {
 $result = $api_instance->graphqlPost($request);
 $response = $result->getData();

 // do something with the response
} catch (ApiException $e) {
 // handle the exception
}

This code sends a search query to Weaviate and returns a list of products that match the search criteria. You can customize the search by changing the `query` string.
