In this article, I would like to introduce a new development tool, “FlexibleSearch Chrome Extension”. This utility provides an interface for hybris flexible search queries in a more convenient way than the hybris OOTB tools do.
The tool is designed for developers and QAs to debug and test hybris-powered systems.
The tool is implemented as a Chrome extension (source). It is designed to be used with runtime development tools or the standard OOTB Hybris Administrative Console.
Compared with the OOTB FlexibleSearch console, which is designed for a similar purpose, our tool is much more convenient. It is interactive. You can open detailed information about the external reference (PK) by clicking on its ID. The request history helps you work with similar requests. You can also turn TSV mode on and copy-paste the results into Excel for further processing.
Configuration
To configure the extension, you need to enter one of the connection points:
- For hybris runtime development tools mode, it is https://localhost:9002/tools
- Or
http://localhost:9002/for HAC mode.
Features
The tool is ready to work with any hybris instance, even a highly customized one.
The following features are implemented:
- Hybris type system hints
- Object navigation
- Query history
- TSV mode (copy and paste to Excel)
The tool is built using AngularJS and is open to the community (https://github.com/artsiomyemelyanenka/hybristoolsgui).
