Getting Started

Requirements

• Akeneo PIM >= 5.0 (CE & EE)

Installation

Install via composer:

php composer.phar require trilix/akeneo-events-api-bundle:^0.7.0

To enable the bundle add to the config/bundles.php file:

return [
    // ...
    Trilix\EventsApiBundle\TrilixEventsApiBundle::class => ['all' => true]
]

Add the following line at the end of env file:

EVENTS_API_REQUEST_URL=your_request_url

where your_request_url is a target location where all the events (see event types) will be delivered.

Create file config/packages/trilix_events_api.yml with the following:

trilix_events_api:
    transport:
        factory: "pim_events_api.transport_factory.http"
        options:
            request_url: "%env(EVENTS_API_REQUEST_URL)%"

Clear cache:

php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod

Run the following command to create a job to deliver events to consumer:

php bin/console akeneo:batch:create-job 'Deliver outer event to consumer' deliver_outer_event_to_consumer internal deliver_outer_event_to_consumer

Make sure Akeneo job queue daemon is running. For more information read Setting up the job queue daemon.

Functionality

How it works

Some event(s) happens in Akeneo PIM. This triggers a mechanism to send those event(s) as HTTP POST request to your Request URL. Each request contains event, with correspondent event type presented in JSON format (see example).

Events API sends one request per one event, and sending of requests happens in real-time.

Event types delivered over Events API

Example of category_updated event

{
  "event_type": "category_updated",
  "payload": {
    "code": "cameras",
    "labels": {
      "de_DE": "Cameras",
      "en_US": "Cameras new name",
      "fr_FR": "Caméras"
    },
    "parent": "master"
  },
  "event_time": 1565021907
}

Example of product_model_removed event

{
  "event_type": "product_model_removed",
  "payload": {
    "code": "derby"
  },
  "event_time": 1579792377
}

Event Type Structure

Attention ❗

If Akeneo family contains variants, then during family update (or it's variants as well), Akeneo will re-save related products. It will trigger sending product_updated events.
