            new CategoryTreeDynamicEntityPostCreatePlugin(),
        ];
    }
}
Verification

To verify that plugins are installed correctly, follow the steps:

  1. Create a category using dynamic entity API:
POST /dynamic-entity/categories HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 257
{
    "data": [
        {
            "fk_category_template": 1,
            "category_key": "my-category",
            "is_active": true,
            "is_clickable": true,
            "is_in_menu": true,
            "is_searchable": true
        }
    ]
}

Take note of the id_category in the response.

  1. Create a category-store relation:
POST /dynamic-entity/category-stores HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 100
{
    "data": [
        {
            "fk_category": {ID_CATEGORY},
            "fk_store": 1
        }
    ]
}
  1. Create a category attribute:
POST /dynamic-entity/category-attributes HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 184

{
    "data": [
        {
            "fk_category": {ID_CATEGORY},
            "meta_description": "My Category",
            "fk_locale": 66,
            "name": "My Category"
        }
    ]
}
  1. Create a category node:
POST /dynamic-entity/category-nodes HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 203
{
    "data": [
        {
            "fk_category": {ID_CATEGORY},
            "fk_parent_category_node": 1,
            "is_main": true,
            "is_root": false,
            "node_order": 0
        }
    ]
}

Take note of the id_category_node in the response.

  1. Check that the category closure table entities have been created:
SELECT * FROM spy_category_closure_table WHERE fk_category_node_descendant = {ID_CATEGORY_NODE};
  1. Check that the category URLs have been created:
SELECT * FROM spy_url WHERE fk_resource_categorynode = {ID_CATEGORY_NODE};
  1. Check that the category tree has been published:
SELECT spy_category_tree_storage.`data`
FROM spy_category_tree_storage
         LEFT JOIN spy_locale ON spy_category_tree_storage.locale = spy_locale.locale_name
         LEFT JOIN spy_store ON spy_category_tree_storage.store = spy_store.name
WHERE spy_locale.id_locale = 66
  AND spy_store.id_store = 1;

  1. Check that newly created category is present in the category tree JSON.

  2. Update the category attribute:

PATCH /dynamic-entity/category-attributes HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 173
{
    "data": [
        {
            "id_category_attribute": {id_category_attribute},
            "meta_description": "My Category",
            "name": "My Category Updated"
        }
    ]
}
  1. Check that the category URL has been updated:
SELECT * FROM spy_url WHERE fk_resource_categorynode = {ID_CATEGORY_NODE};
  1. Update the category node:
PATCH /dynamic-entity/category-nodes HTTP/1.1
Host: glue-backend.mysprykershop.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {your_token}
Content-Length: 120
{
    "data": [
        {
            "id_category_node": 20,
            "fk_parent_category_node": 5
        }
    ]
}
  1. Check that category closure table entities have been updated:
SELECT * FROM spy_category_closure_table WHERE fk_category_node_descendant = {ID_CATEGORY_NODE};
  1. Check that category tree has been updated:
SELECT spy_category_tree_storage.`data`
FROM spy_category_tree_storage
         LEFT JOIN spy_locale ON spy_category_tree_storage.locale = spy_locale.locale_name
         LEFT JOIN spy_store ON spy_category_tree_storage.store = spy_store.name
WHERE spy_locale.id_locale = 66
  AND spy_store.id_store = 1;
  1. Check that newly created category is present in the category tree JSON.
