The New Product Form

In the PrestaShop 8 the Product page has been remade, and its form is divided into multiple sub forms. Each form has dedicated CQRS commands to manage its content.

For previous versions, read this documentation about product form before 1.7.8.

Creation / Update commands

Except for the initial save, all product modifications are updates, which is why AddProductCommand is a special case. It requires only:

  • the product type
  • localized names (only the name in default language is required)

Once the product is created and its ID has been generated most of the other CQRS commands are updates so they will need a ProductId identifier. They allow partial updates to minimize the amount of sent data, of course even partial update require a minimum of consistency and will have validation rules such as required fields in some cases.

Product form

This form combines different sub form types, each one is handled by dedicated CQRS commands.
