📚 Usage Examples

Create Option Template

$colorOption = ProductOption::create([
    'label' => '颜色',
    'code' => 'color',
    'type' => 'color',
    'position' => 0,
]);

$colorOption->values()->create([
    'label' => '红色',
    'code' => 'red',
    'position' => 0,
    'meta' => ['color_code' => '#FF0000'],
]);

Attach Option to Product

$product->options()->attach($colorOption->id, [
    'position' => 0,
    'is_required' => true,
    'meta' => ['show_swatch' => true],
]);

Create Variant

$variant = ProductVariant::create([
    'product_id' => 1,
    'sku' => 'TSHIRT-RED-M',
    'price' => 99.99,
    'compare_price' => 149.99,
    'quantity' => 100,
    'status' => true,
]);

$variant->values()->attach([$redValue->id, $mediumValue->id]);

Query Saleable Variants

$variants = ProductVariant::where('product_id', 1)
    ->saleable()
    ->with('values.option')
    ->get();

🎓 Learning Resources

Model Relationships

• ProductOption → ProductOptionValue (1:N)
• Product ↔ ProductOption (M:N via product_product_options)
• ProductVariant → Product (N:1)
• ProductVariant ↔ ProductOptionValue (M:N via product_variant_option_values)

Key Methods

• ProductVariant::isSaleable() - Check if variant can be purchased
• ProductVariant::getEffectivePrice() - Get price considering special price
• FlexibleVariantOption::generateVariantSku() - Auto-generate SKU
• FlexibleVariantOption::findVariantBySelection() - Find variant by options

Scopes

• ProductVariant::active() - Get active variants
• ProductVariant::saleable() - Get saleable variants (active + in stock)

🐛 Known Limitations

1. Vue Component - Simplified version, needs full implementation
2. Admin UI Integration - Needs integration with Bagisto product edit form
3. Frontend Display - Needs shop frontend variant selector component
4. Image Management - Basic JSON storage, could use dedicated table
5. API Authentication - Needs proper admin middleware setup

🔮 Future Enhancements

1. Full Vue Components - Complete admin UI implementation
2. Frontend Variant Selector - Shop-side variant selection widget
3. Variant Images - Dedicated variant image management
4. Bulk Import/Export - CSV import/export for variants
5. Variant Comparison - Side-by-side variant comparison
6. Stock Alerts - Low stock notifications
7. Price Rules - Variant-specific pricing rules
8. SEO - Variant-specific meta tags and URLs
