Implements

This type does not implement any interfaces.

Connections

• products is a connection field returning a ProductConnection type, which supports pagination through arguments such as first, last, before, and after.

Related Types

• ProductConnection: Represents a paginated list of products associated with the manufacturer.
• Filter: Represents filtering options available for the manufacturer’s products.

Best Practices

• Use the products connection with pagination arguments (first, after) to efficiently load products in batches and avoid large payloads.
• Utilize the filters field to dynamically build UI filter options for product listings related to the manufacturer.
• Leverage SEO fields (seoTitle, seoDescription, seoKeywords) to enhance search engine visibility when rendering manufacturer pages.
• When querying nested product data, always check pageInfo.hasNextPage to implement infinite scrolling or pagination controls.

Notes

• All fields are optional and may return null if the data is not available.
• The image field returns a URL string pointing to the manufacturer’s image.
• Filtering and sorting on the products connection depend on the capabilities of the underlying ProductConnection type.
• The API currently requires no authentication, but this may change in future versions. Plan your integration accordingly.
• Avoid requesting large numbers of products in a single query to maintain performance and reduce server load.
• The allProductsCount field provides a quick way to display the total number of products without fetching the entire product list.
