Manipulate the Akeneo PIM data
#How to add a custom action in the rule engine
#Quick Overview
This cookbook is about a feature only provided in the Enterprise Edition.
This cookbook assumes that you already created a new bundle to add your custom rule. Let’s assume its namespace is Acme\CustomBundle.
#Create a custom action
In this cookbook we are going to see how to add a custom action in the rule engine. For this example, the goal of this rule is to concatenate attributes name, price and total megapixels into the description field.
First let’s see how to create the action. You need to create an ActionApplier object that will contain the logic:
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/ActionApplier/PatternActionApplier.php
<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\ActionApplier;
use Akeneo\Tool\Bundle\RuleEngineBundle\Model\ActionInterface;
use Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Model\ProductPatternAction;
use Akeneo\Tool\Component\RuleEngine\ActionApplier\ActionApplierInterface;
use Akeneo\Tool\Component\StorageUtils\Updater\PropertySetterInterface;
class PatternActionApplier implements ActionApplierInterface
{
/** @var PropertySetterInterface */
protected $propertySetter;
/**
* @param PropertySetterInterface $propertySetter
*/
public function __construct(PropertySetterInterface $propertySetter)
{
$this->propertySetter = $propertySetter;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function applyAction(ActionInterface $action, array $products = [])
{
$attributes = $action->getAttributes();
$pattern = $action->getPattern();
foreach ($products as $product) {
$result = $pattern;
foreach ($attributes as $attributeCode) {
$value = $product->getValue($attributeCode);
$content = null === $value ? '' : (string) $value;
$result = str_replace('%%' . $attributeCode . '%%', $content, $result);
}
$this->propertySetter->setData(
$product,
$action->getField(),
$result,
$action->getOptions()
);
}
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function supports(ActionInterface $action)
{
return $action instanceof ProductPatternAction;
}
}
Then we need to create the object that will handle the data.
Implementing the FieldImpactActionInterface will allow the attribute to be flagged as smart in the UI.
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Model/ProductPatternAction.php
<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Model;
use Akeneo\Tool\Bundle\RuleEngineBundle\Model\ActionInterface;
use Akeneo\Pim\Automation\RuleEngine\Component\Model\FieldImpactActionInterface;
class ProductPatternAction implements ActionInterface, FieldImpactActionInterface
{
const ACTION_TYPE = 'pattern';
/** @var string */
protected $field;
/** @var array */
protected $attributes = [];
/** @var string */
protected $pattern;
/** @var array */
protected $options = [];
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getField()
{
return $this->field;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function setField($field)
{
$this->field = $field;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getOptions()
{
return $this->options;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function setOptions(array $options = [])
{
$this->options = $options;
}
/**
* @return array
*/
public function getAttributes()
{
return $this->attributes;
}
/**
* @return array
*/
public function getPattern()
{
return $this->pattern;
}
/**
* @param array $attributes
*/
public function setAttributes(array $attributes = [])
{
$this->attributes = $attributes;
}
/**
* @param string $pattern
*/
public function setPattern($pattern)
{
$this->pattern = $pattern;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getImpactedFields()
{
return [$this->getField()];
}
}
We also need to create a denormalizer that will return our previous object that handles the data. It will convert the array into an object (needed for the import).
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Denormalizer/ProductRule/PatternActionDenormalizer.php
<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Denormalizer\ProductRule;
use Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Model\ProductPatternAction;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\GetSetMethodNormalizer;
class PatternActionDenormalizer extends GetSetMethodNormalizer
{
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function denormalize($data, $class, $format = null, array $context = [])
{
return parent::denormalize($data, 'Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Model\ProductPatternAction');
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function supportsDenormalization($data, $type, $format = null)
{
return isset($data['type']) && ProductPatternAction::ACTION_TYPE === $data['type'];
}
}
For our example we need to create an ExistingAttributeValidator that will check if the attributes provided in the rule file exist. It will raise a violation and skip this item if not.
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Validator/Constraints/ExistingAttributesValidator.php
<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Validator\Constraints;
use Akeneo\Pim\Structure\Component\Repository\AttributeRepositoryInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintValidator;
class ExistingAttributesValidator extends ConstraintValidator
{
/** @var AttributeRepositoryInterface */
protected $attributeRepository;
/**
* @param AttributeRepositoryInterface $attributeRepository
*/
public function __construct(AttributeRepositoryInterface $attributeRepository)
{
$this->attributeRepository = $attributeRepository;
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function validate($attributes, Constraint $constraint)
{
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
if (null === $this->attributeRepository->findOneByIdentifier($attribute)) {
$this->context->buildViolation($constraint->message, ['%attribute%' => $attribute])->addViolation();
}
}
}
}
Here is the constraint message and its associated validation file:
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Validator/Constraints/ExistingAttributes.php
<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Validator\Constraints;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint;
class ExistingAttributes extends Constraint
{
/** @var string */
public $message = 'There are no attributes with such code: "%attribute%"';
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function validatedBy()
{
return 'pimee_constraint_attributes_validator';
}
}
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/config/validation/ProductPatternAction.yml
Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Model\ProductPatternAction:

Don’t forget to add these classes in your service definition and to tag them with the proper tag. Also, do not forget to load your services.yml in your dependency injection, either in a bundle extension or in the config directory.
#/src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
services:
acme.action_applier.pattern:
class: Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\ActionApplier\PatternActionApplier
arguments:
- '@pim_catalog.updater.property_setter'
tags:
- { name: akeneo_rule_engine.action_applier, priority: 100 }
acme.denormalizer.product_rule.pattern_action:
class: Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Denormalizer\ProductRule\PatternActionDenormalizer
tags:
- { name: 'pimee_catalog_rule.denormalizer.product_rule' }
acme.validator.existing_attributes:
class: Acme\Bundle\CustomBundle\Validator\Constraints\ExistingAttributesValidator
arguments:
- '@pim_catalog.repository.attribute'
tags:
- { name: validator.constraint_validator, alias: pimee_constraint_attributes_validator }
You have to override the action column from the rule view to use the pattern type.
{# src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/views/Rules/_actions.html.twig #}
{% for action in value.actions %}
<p class="AknRule">
{% if action.type in ["copy", "copy_value"] %}
{% set parameters = {
'%from_field%': action.from_field|append_locale_and_scope_context(action.from_locale|default, action.from_scope|default)|highlight,
'%to_field%': action.to_field|append_locale_and_scope_context(action.to_locale|default, action.to_scope|default)|highlight
} %}
{% elseif action.type in ["add", "remove"] %}
{% set parameters = {
'%field%': action.field|append_locale_and_scope_context(action.options.locale|default, action.options.scope|default)|highlight,
'%value%': action.items|present_rule_action_value(action.field)|highlight,
} %}
{% elseif action.type == 'pattern' %}
{% set parameters = {
'%field%': action.field|append_locale_and_scope_context(action.options.locale|default, action.options.scope|default)|highlight,
'%attributes%': action.attributes|join(',')|highlight
} %}
{% else %}
{% set parameters = {
'%field%': action.field|append_locale_and_scope_context(action.locale|default, action.scope|default)|highlight,
'%value%': action.value|present_rule_action_value(action.field)|highlight
} %}
{% endif %}
{{ ('pimee_catalog_rule.actions.type.' ~ action.type) |trans(parameters)|raw }}
</p>
{% endfor %}
You also need to override the rule file for the datagrid with your template.
#src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/config/datagrid/rule.yml
datagrid:

Then, add the translations.
#src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/translations/messages.en.yml
pimee_catalog_rule:
actions:
type:
"pattern": Then attributes (%attributes%) from pattern are replaced by specific values into %field%
Here is an example on how you could write a rule.
rules:
test_pattern:
priority: 0
conditions:
-
field: family
operator: IN
value:
- camcorders
actions:
-
type: pattern
field: description
attributes:
- name
- price
- total_megapixels
pattern: '%%name%% -- %%price%% -- %%total_megapixels%%'
