Attributes & Families

Obelaw PIM employs a flexible EAV-like (Entity-Attribute-Value) system that allows you to define unlimited technical specifications without altering your database schema.

Dynamic Attributes

This system is ideal for products with specialized data requirements, such as:

• Ingredients lists (e.g., Food products)
• Technical specifications (e.g., Voltage, RPM, Dimensions for electronics)

Usage

Attributes can be assigned to product variants using the VariantDTO.

use Obelaw\Pim\Data\VariantDTO;

$variant = new VariantDTO(
    sku: 'TSHIRT-S',
    price: 19.99,
    stock: 10,
    attributes: [1, 2] // Attribute IDs
);
