Collections

A collection in Macro Editor is a group of values stored in a list, where every value has its index (0,1,2,3 etc.) These product data can be of any type, such as numbers or strings. Collections are used to efficiently manage product data and perform operations on them, such as searching, sorting, slicing, and filtering.

Examples of using collections might be:

There are several different size attributes - e.g., Size, Size_shirts, Size_shoes, etc. First, you group the attribute into a collection. A collection for a specific item can look like [ '', '36', ''], where '' means empty. Then, you can use any collection operations below - e.g., 'First not empty item'.

As a result, the '36' value is exported to the feed attribute for a specific item.

The Collection operations allow you to work with multiple attributes or a group of values.

ME-collection_1.png

Sort

The 'sort' operation allows you to sort a collection alphabetically that arises from text operations or by merging several attributes into a collection.

Example:

Use multiple attributes as input to the macro:

  • 'Category name' - attribute value 'Shoes'

  • 'Title' - attribute value 'ADIDAS'

Define the following operations:

  • 'sort(ascending)'

  • 'take first element as string'

As a result, you get the following:

  • 'ADIDAS'

ME_Collections_1.png

Slice collection items

The 'slice collection items' operation allows you to select specific elements from a collection. If the length is not filled, Koongo selects all elements to the end. Take From is indexed from 0, so the first element in the field has a position of 0.

Example:

Use multiple attributes as input to the macro:

  • 'Category name' - attribute value 'Shoes'

  • 'Title' - attribute value 'ADIDAS'

  • 'Category id' - attribute value '1234'

Define the following operations:

  • 'slice collection items'

  • take from - '1' (You need to select an index from where the slice should start. The first position has index 1.)

  • length - '2'

  • 'take first item as text'

As a result, you get the following:

  • 'ADIDAS'

ME-collection_2.png

Take first item as text

The 'take first item as text' operation allows you to select the first element from a collection. The element is transferred to the 'string' format automatically. If you need a 'number' format, please use the 'cast as number' operation.

Use Tags attribute as input to the macro:

  • 'Tags' - attribute value 'adidas, backpack, egnition-sample-data'

Define the following operations:

  • 'split text to collection'

  • split on - ','

  • 'Take first item as text'

As a result, you get the following:

  • 'adidas'

ME-collection_3.png

Take last item as text

The 'take last item as text' operation allows you to select just the last element from a collection. The element is transferred to the 'string' format automatically. If you need a 'number' format, please use the 'cast as number' operation.

Example:

Use Tags attribute as input to the macro:

  • 'Tags' - attribute value 'adidas, backpack, egnition-sample-data'

Define the following operations:

  • 'split text to collection'

  • split on - ','

  • 'Title' - attribute value 'ADIDAS'

  • 'Category id' - attribute value '1234'

Define the following operations:

  • 'unique collection'

  • 'serialize collection to text'

As a result, you get the following:

  • ['ADIDAS','1234']

ME-collection_6.png

Serialize collection to text
