Search Component getUrl Method for SuiteCommerce Usage

The Search component includes the getUrl() method, allowing developers to retrieve the URL of the item search API for SuiteCommerce websites. When getUrl() is invoked, it returns a string representing the end fragment of the item search URL (everything after the domain name). You can enhance your search URL by appending parameters through an object where the properties correspond to the desired search criteria.

Here's how to implement getUrl() to find items containing the string 'shirt'. This method is typically called within the mountToApp() method of your extension's entrypoint module.

"text-purple-400">var search = container.getComponent('Search');
"text-purple-400">var searchParams = {q: "shirt"};
 
"text-purple-400">var searchURL = search.getUrl(searchParams);

With the search parameters noted above, the generated URL might look like this:

api/items?language=en&country=US&currency=USD&pricelevel=5&use_pcv=F&q=shirt

Take note that the returned URL incorporates data based on the site visitor's session and includes the appended search parameters (q=shirt). The default parameters drawn from the user's session are:

• language
• country
• currency
• pricelevel
• use_pcv
