Anchor Categories

1min
Out of the box, the Klevu plugin respects the is_anchor category setting.
To change this behaviour and ignore anchor categories you can add a before plugin on ParentAnchorCategoryIdProvider and return an empty array.
XML
<type name="Klevu\IndexingProducts\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProvider">
  <plugin name="Vendor_Module::ParentAnchorCategoryIdProvider"
          type="Vendor\Module\Plugin\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderPlugin"/>
</type>
<type name="Klevu\IndexingProducts\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProvider">
  <plugin name="Vendor_Module::ParentAnchorCategoryIdProvider"
          type="Vendor\Module\Plugin\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderPlugin"/>
</type>

Create the Plugin class.
Vendor/Module/Plugin/Service/Provider/Catalog/ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderPlugin.php
<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin\Service\Provider\Catalog;

use Klevu\IndexingApi\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface;

class ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderPlugin
{
    /**
     * @param ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface $subject
     * @param int[] $categoryIds
     *
     * @return int[]
     */
    public function beforeGet(
        ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface $subject,
        array $categoryIds,
    ): array {
        return [[]];
    }
}
<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin\Service\Provider\Catalog;

use Klevu\IndexingApi\Service\Provider\Catalog\ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface;

class ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderPlugin
{
    /**
     * @param ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface $subject
     * @param int[] $categoryIds
     *
     * @return int[]
     */
    public function beforeGet(
        ParentAnchorCategoryIdProviderInterface $subject,
        array $categoryIds,
    ): array {
        return [[]];
    }
}

Setting categoryIds param as an empty array will return an empty array skipping any extra database calls.
