To pass AJAX data to WooCommerce filter, follow these steps:
- Create an AJAX function in your theme's functions.php file or in a custom plugin. This function will handle the AJAX request and return the filtered data. Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
add_action('wp_ajax_filter_products', 'filter_products');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_filter_products', 'filter_products');
function filter_products() {
// Get the AJAX data
$data = $_POST['data'];
// Perform filtering logic here
// Return the filtered data
echo json_encode($filtered_data);
// Always exit
wp_die();
}
|
- Add JavaScript code to make the AJAX request and pass the data to the filter_products function. Here is an example using jQuery:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#filter-button').on('click', function() {
var data = {
action: 'filter_products',
data: $('#filter-form').serialize()
};
$.post(ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
// Handle the response data
console.log(response);
});
});
});

- Add a form in your template file with the necessary input fields for filtering. For example, you can have select dropdowns for filtering categories or price range.
- Make sure to enqueue your JavaScript file where you have the AJAX script.
- You can now customize the filter_products function to perform filtering logic based on the AJAX data and return the filtered results.
