WooCommerce return product object by id

🎉💻 WooCommerce Return Product Object by ID 🎉💻

Hey there, WooCommerce enthusiasts! 👋 In this blog post, we're going to tackle a common issue faced by developers who are creating custom themes for WooCommerce. The problem at hand is how to retrieve a product object by its ID, so we can display a mini product display. 😮 Sounds cool, right?

🤔 The Challenge: Finding Documentation on the WooCommerce API 🤔

Our friend Tim here had some trouble finding documentation on the WooCommerce API, which is a common roadblock for developers. But worry not, Tim, we've got your back! 🤓

🔍 The Solution: Retrieving the Product Object 🔍

To retrieve the product object using its ID, we can make use of the WP_Query class, which allows us to query posts in WordPress. Here's the code snippet you can use:

$key_values = get_post_custom_values('rel_products_ids');
$rel_product_ids = explode(",", trim($key_values[0], ","));

foreach ( $rel_product_ids as $pid ) {
    $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => array( $pid ) ) );

    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
        $_product = new WC_Product( $loop->post->ID );

        // Do stuff with the product object here
        woocommerce_show_product_sale_flash( $post, $_product );
        if ( has_post_thumbnail( $loop->post->ID ) ) echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $loop->post->ID, 'shop_single' );
        echo get_permalink( $loop->post->ID );
        the_title();
        echo $_product->get_price_html();
    endwhile;
}

📚 Breaking Down the Code 📚

• First, we retrieve the comma-delimited list of product IDs using get_post_custom_values.

• We then explode the list to create an array of just the product IDs.

• Next, we iterate through each product ID and create a new instance of WP_Query.

• Inside the loop, we can access the product object using $loop->post->ID and create our mini product display.

• Feel free to customize the display based on your requirements. 🎨
