Synopsis

This is a work in progress rewrite of the findologic/plentymarkets-rest-export.

The Plentymarkets REST API is being called to get all necessary product data for FINDOLOGIC. The data is then wrapped to generate a FINDOLOGIC-consumable XML/CSV file. In the case of XML this could be multiple files.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.4
• PHP JSON extension
• Composer

Installation

1. Run composer install to install all required dependencies.
2. Copy .env to .env.local, and set the configuration for the shop, you want to export the data from.

Running the export

1. Run bin/console export:start.
2. When the export was successful, you may be able to find the exported CSV/XML file in the /export directory.

• If you have a shopkey, see Using a shopkey to run the export.
• If debug mode is true, you may be able to find all requests/responses inside of the /var/debug directory.

If you want to debug, read more about debugging the export.

Development

Directory structure

• .github Contains everything related to GitHub, including GitHub Actions.
• bin Contains executables. E.g. Running the export.
• config Contains configuration files. E.g Export configuration.
• var/debug Contains Request/Responses after starting an export.
• var/export Contains the exported XML(s)/CSV file(s).
• var/log Contains the log of the last export.
• src Contains all source code.
• tests Contains all unit-tests.
• vendor Contains source code of dependencies.

Running tests

Running tests is as simple as it gets. Either run composer test, or use your IDE to run the tests. When running them with the IDE you may want to include phpunit.xml.dist as alternative configuration file.

Using a shopkey to run the export

NOTE: Running an export with a shopkey requires the option IMPORT_DATA_URL to be set in your environment file!

You can also run the export for a specific shopkey by calling the export with an additional shopkey parameter or bin/console export:start [shopkey].

When a shopkey is supplied, the EXPORT_xxx environment variables may be ignored.

Configuration

Here is a short table that explains each configuration option. Configuration changes can be done in your environment files.

Debugging the export

If you want to debug the export, you can simply right-click bin/console inside of the IDE and select "Debug 'export (PHP Script)'".

Setting the environment variable "DEBUG" to true, will automatically create request/response files inside of the var/debug folder.
If you no longer need them, they can be cleared anytime running composer clear, or bin/clearExportFiles.
