Attribute API & Images Upload API

[JanikHalder]

Hi there,
I have two issues.
Is it possible to upload Images into Swell and save them inside?
I have tried using:
const result = await swell.post('/products', {
name: name,
active: true,
sku: sku,
id: id,
atro_id: id,
category_id: category_id,
description: description,
attributes: attributes,
images: images,
});
Where I am passing images as mentioned in the old forum:
images = [{
data: { $base64: imageDataInBase64 }
}
];

But this doesn't work.

My second issue is that I don't get the product attributes through the API that I create through the API. If i call it inside Swell I get everything as expected but if i call it in my storefront I only get an empty object.

Is this a bug or have I missed something as I am creating the products through the API call.

This is how I pass the product attributes:

attributes: {
ef000007_ec001500: 'blau [EV000080]',
ef000008: 12,
ef000040: 111,
ef000279_ec001500: 'elektronischer Trafo [EV000681]',
ef000316_ec001500: 'Schraubanschluss [EV000415]',
ef001438: 130
}

@JanikHalder Please find the steps to upload images in Swell and associate to a product or any of the swell components.

1. Upload images to Swell files directory.

const swell = require('swell-node').init('store-id', 'secret-key');
let fileData = {
  filename: 'filename.png',
  content_type: 'image/png',
  data: {
    $binary: '<imageDataInBase64>'
  }
}
const fileResponse = await swell.post(`/:files`, fileData);

2. Associate image file to a product.

await swell.put('/products/<product_id>', {
  images: [
    { file: fileResponse }
  ]
});

Thank you I will try it.

hey @logeshswell, is there a way to in one step pass an external url to the :files endpoint and have it downloaded/reuploaded to swell file store? similar to the way i guess it is done behind the scenes when uploading JSON via admin ui? https://developers.swell.is/guides/migrate-from-shopify#products

@JanikHalder Regarding the attribute API, the attribute will be shown in storefront API (or swell-js) only if it matches the below conditions:

1. Attribute id (eg: ef000008) must be present in the product attributes list (https://store-id.swell.store/admin/attributes/ef000008)
2. Visible toggle must be enabled for the attribute.
3. Attribute must be linked to the product that you are fetching.

On a side note, you don't need to expand by attributes to show the attributes for a product.

Hi @logeshswell,
thank you for your answer. The problem was that there is a bug with the attributes,that is why the attributes got not linked to the product, I mentioned that in another post and already got the answer that this will be solved.

[logeshswell]

Yes, I am on track of that attribute pagination issue.
Let me keep you posted once it is resolved.
