Entity Sync

3min
After discovering the entities, we need to sync them with Klevu by injecting EntityIndexerService services into the EntitySyncOrchestratorService. We inject a separate service for each action, i.e. Add, Delete and Update
e.g.
Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml
<type name="Klevu\Indexing\Service\EntitySyncOrchestratorService">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityIndexerServices" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="CUSTOM_TYPE" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="add"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Add</item>
                <item name="delete"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Delete</item>
                <item name="update"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Update</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

<type name="Klevu\Indexing\Service\EntitySyncOrchestratorService">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityIndexerServices" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="CUSTOM_TYPE" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="add"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Add</item>
                <item name="delete"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Delete</item>
                <item name="update"
                      xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Update</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

Now create each of the injected EntityIndexerService.
You can create your own service classes that implement \Klevu\IndexingApi\Service\EntityIndexerServiceInterface and handle indexing the data with Klevu. If you choose this route please refer to the Klevu PHP-SDK documentation.
If you wish to use Klevu pipelines to index data with Klevu please continue following the example below.
Create a virtual type of Klevu\Indexing\Service\EntityIndexerService. 
Repeat this step for Delete and Update
Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Add"
             type="Klevu\Indexing\Service\EntityIndexerService">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityIndexingRecordProvider"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider\Add</argument>
        <argument name="pipelineConfigurationFilepath"
                  xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::etc/pipeline/add_update.yml</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
<!-- Repeat for Delete and Update -->
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexerService\Add"
             type="Klevu\Indexing\Service\EntityIndexerService">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityIndexingRecordProvider"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider\Add</argument>
        <argument name="pipelineConfigurationFilepath"
                  xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::etc/pipeline/add_update.yml</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
<!-- Repeat for Delete and Update -->
﻿
Create a virtualType of Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider (which doesn't exist yet) to set the action to be performed. 
Repeat this step for Delete and Update actions
Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider\Add"
             type="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="action" xsi:type="string">Add</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
<!-- Repeat for Delete and Update -->
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider\Add"
             type="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="action" xsi:type="string">Add</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
<!-- Repeat for Delete and Update -->
﻿
Now create the missing Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider mentioned in the previous step. This is a virtual type of Klevu\Indexing\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider.
Pass in the same entityProvider we created during Custom Entity Types Entity Discover section.
Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider"
             type="Klevu\Indexing\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityProviders" xsi:type="array">
            <!-- ALREADY CREATED IN ENTITY DISCOVERY SECTION -->
            <item name="custom_type"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\CustomTypeEntityProvider</item>
        </argument>
        <argument name="indexingRecordCreatorService"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexingRecordCreatorService</argument>
        <argument name="entityType" xsi:type="string">CUSTOM_TYPE</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
<virtualType name="Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider"
             type="Klevu\Indexing\Service\Provider\Sync\EntityIndexingRecordProvider">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="entityProviders" xsi:type="array">
            <!-- ALREADY CREATED IN ENTITY DISCOVERY SECTION -->
            <item name="custom_type"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\Provider\CustomTypeEntityProvider</item>
        </argument>
        <argument name="indexingRecordCreatorService"
                  xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexingRecordCreatorService</argument>
        <argument name="entityType" xsi:type="string">CUSTOM_TYPE</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>
﻿
Create Vendor\Module\Service\EntityIndexingRecordCreatorService which implements Klevu\IndexingApi\Service\EntityIndexingRecordCreatorServiceInterface
php
class EntityIndexingRecordCreatorService implements EntityIndexingRecordCreatorServiceInterface
{
    public function execute(
        int $recordId,
        Actions $action,
        PageInterface|ExtensibleDataInterface $entity,
        PageInterface|ExtensibleDataInterface|null $parent = null,
    ): EntityIndexingRecordInterface {
    
       return $this->entityIndexingRecordFactory->create([
            'recordId' => $recordId,
            'entity' => $entity,
            'parent' => $parent, // this is used when indexing configurable variants. If the entity has no parent set this to null.
            'action' => $action,
        ]);
    }
}

class EntityIndexingRecordCreatorService implements EntityIndexingRecordCreatorServiceInterface
{
    public function execute(
        int $recordId,
        Actions $action,
        PageInterface|ExtensibleDataInterface $entity,
        PageInterface|ExtensibleDataInterface|null $parent = null,
    ): EntityIndexingRecordInterface {
    
       return $this->entityIndexingRecordFactory->create([
            'recordId' => $recordId,
            'entity' => $entity,
            'parent' => $parent, // this is used when indexing configurable variants. If the entity has no parent set this to null.
            'action' => $action,
        ]);
    }
}
﻿
Final step is to create the pipeline YAML file to process that data before it is sent to Klevu.
Vendor_Module::etc/pipeline/add_update.yml. See Pipelines.
