Items not getting displayed

[parshureddy06]

Hello, i am trying to deploy my project through heroku, this is my first thing which i am doing since i am a beginner, when i upload my json, i am able to see the view but i am not getting the items displayed, please can you give me a proper guidance like how to implement this .

This is the view which i am getting

I am unable to get the items displayed, here i am sending 10 items in an array which is valid.
Please report me with the issue, and provide me a proper guidance,

Thank you

Hello, make sure you are sending correct JSON file i.e. it should be a proper array of objects. You can find some working examples here https://github.com/itemsapi/itemsapi-example-data/tree/master/items.
If you want you can also send me your json and I can tell if that's valid.

Hi @cigolpl, thanks for your quick reply, below is the JSON which i am sending. please have a look at it and tell me what all things can be done to get an output.

As, of now i am giving you 4 objects but in real i'm sending more than 100 objects. so , please check whether the JSON is valid or any other issue?

Thank you

[cigolpl]

The only one problem which I see - the array should list a flat objects.

Instead of:

{
  "id": 55454453431502,
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh",
  "variants": [{
    "id": 6642,
    "product_id": 8402,
    "title": "vjbbgf",
    "price": "80.00",
    "sku": "gggfgf",
    "position": 1,
    "grams": 0,
    "inventory_policy": "gfhgf",
    "compare_at_price": "40.00",
    "fulfillment_service": "bcvdbvd",
    "inventory_management": "dkjdk",
    "option1": "dkcdjkcd",
    "option2": null,
    "option3": null,
    "created_at": "2017-06-08T13:18:04+05:30",
    "updated_at": "2017-06-08T13:18:04+05:30",
    "taxable": true,
    "barcode": "",
    "image_id": null,
    "inventory_quantity": 10,
    "weight": 0,
    "weight_unit": "g",
    "old_inventory_quantity": 10,
    "requires_shipping": true
  }]
}

It should works:

{
  "id": 55454453431502,
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",

  "variants_option1": "dkcdjkcd",
  "variants_option2": null,
  "variants_option3": null,
  "variants_created_at": "2017-06-08T13:18:04+05:30",
  "variants_updated_at": "2017-06-08T13:18:04+05:30",
  "variants_taxable": true,
  "variants_barcode": "",
  "variants_image_id": null,
  "variants_inventory_quantity": 10,
  "variants_weight": 0,
  "variants_weight_unit": "g",
  "variants_old_inventory_quantity": 10,
  "variants_requires_shipping": true
}

Probably it's not super convenient but this is how it works.. Once you want to generate catalog with itemsapi it's good if you make some data pre-processing.

Hi @cigolpl , thanks for the answer, but still its not working, can you suggest me with some other way so that i can make it work.

Thank You

[cigolpl]

@parshureddy06 let's try this:

[{
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}, {
  "title": "hdbhcjdv",
  "vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
  "product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
  "tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh"
}]

Once it's working you can go into /admin/settings, reset application and try with your final JSON file.

Try to not use "id": 55454453431502 because it has big integers and it seems it is crashing elasticsearch. "id": "55454453431502" should do the jobs probably

Hi @cigolpl, this is working fine, but if i add image field to it, it's not working fine, say
[
{
"title": "hdbhcjdv",
"vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
"product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
"src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1849/4447/products/AKRC13c.jpg?v=1496908011",
"tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh",
"src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1849/4447/products/AKRR34f.jpg?v=1496910290"
},
{
"title": "hdbhcjdv",
"vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
"product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
"tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh",
"src": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1849/4447/products/AKR12d.jpg?v=1496909699"
}
]

Let's try image key instead of src.

[{
"title": "hdbhcjdv",
"vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
"product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
"image": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1849/4447/products/AKRC13c.jpg?v=1496908011",
"tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh",
},
{
"title": "hdbhcjdv",
"vendor": "kjvfjlkvfd",
"product_type": "vklfkvlkfd",
"tags": "vfdbjh,dsvsdhjs,dshsdj,dhsghsd,dshjhds,dshfjdsh",
"image": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1849/4447/products/AKR12d.jpg?v=1496909699"
}]

You can also use src but then customize your template ./views/catalog.html.twig

Also "tags": ["vfdbjh", "dfadfaf"] instead of "tags": "vfdbjh,dfadfaf" is more reliable although both should work.

[parshureddy06]

@cigolpl , is it constrained to accept only few number of key-value pairs, if so how many?

[parshureddy06]

and what all the data-types it accepts? and will it accept empty and null values?

[cigolpl]

@parshureddy06 I think it accepts lot of key-value, not sure how many but probably even more than hundreds. Not sure how about null values. Empty string should be fine.
