# Woocommerce - JS-free variation shopping
|
||
|
|
## Why?
|
||
|
|
Variable products in Woocommerce have variable IDs, which are used server side
|
||
|
|
to add the correct product variant to the user's cart. Unfortuntely, these are
|
||
|
|
sent in the form through the use of JQuery, which requires Javascript.
|
||
|
|
Incredibly cringe.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Therefore, I decided to create a solution which allows for users to still shop,
|
||
|
|
without enabling or supporting Javascript in their browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How?
|
||
|
|
Firstly, this plugin hooks the add-to-cart handler to modify the string
|
||
|
|
returned for variable products, so that a custom action is called to handle
|
||
|
|
them, rather than the default behaviour.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This custom action then collects the attributes and product ID the user sent in
|
||
|
|
their request and constructs an SQL query to retrieve the correct variation ID
|
||
|
|
for the attributes the user selected (prepared statements so you don't get RCE
|
||
|
|
by accident LOL). Then, this is used to add the correct product variation to the
|
||
|
|
cart, and finally redirects the user to the basket page after.
