Adds the specified CatalogAttribute to the AttributesConfig. If the CatalogAttribute to add already exists, an ALREADY_EXISTS error is returned.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: retail2 --scope <scope> projects locations-catalogs-attributes-config-add-catalog-attribute ...

Required Scalar Argument

• <attributes-config> (string)
  • Required. Full AttributesConfig resource name. Format: projects/{project_number}/locations/{location_id}/catalogs/{catalog_id}/attributesConfig

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

GoogleCloudRetailV2AddCatalogAttributeRequest:
  catalog-attribute:
    dynamic-facetable-option: string
    exact-searchable-option: string
    facet-config:
      merged-facet:
        merged-facet-key: string
      rerank-config:
        facet-values: [string]
        rerank-facet: boolean
    in-use: boolean
    indexable-option: string
    key: string
    retrievable-option: string
    searchable-option: string
    type: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r .catalog-attribute dynamic-facetable-option=et
  • If DYNAMIC_FACETABLE_ENABLED, attribute values are available for dynamic facet. Could only be DYNAMIC_FACETABLE_DISABLED if CatalogAttribute.indexable_option is INDEXABLE_DISABLED. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned. Must be specified, otherwise throws INVALID_FORMAT error.
• exact-searchable-option=magna
  • If EXACT_SEARCHABLE_ENABLED, attribute values will be exact searchable. This property only applies to textual custom attributes and requires indexable set to enabled to enable exact-searchable. If unset, the server behavior defaults to EXACT_SEARCHABLE_DISABLED.

• facet-config.merged-facet merged-facet-key=no

  • The merged facet key should be a valid facet key that is different than the facet key of the current catalog attribute. We refer this is merged facet key as the child of the current catalog attribute. This merged facet key can't be a parent of another facet key (i.e. no directed path of length 2). This merged facet key needs to be either a textual custom attribute or a numerical custom attribute.

• ..rerank-config facet-values=ipsum

  • If empty, rerank on all facet values for the current key. Otherwise, will rerank on the facet values from this list only.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• rerank-facet=false

  • If set to true, then we also rerank the dynamic facets based on the facet values engaged by the user for the current attribute key during serving.

• ... in-use=true

  • Output only. Indicates whether this attribute has been used by any products. True if at least one Product is using this attribute in Product.attributes. Otherwise, this field is False. CatalogAttribute can be pre-loaded by using CatalogService.AddCatalogAttribute, CatalogService.ImportCatalogAttributes, or CatalogService.UpdateAttributesConfig APIs. This field is False for pre-loaded CatalogAttributes. Only pre-loaded catalog attributes that are neither in use by products nor predefined can be deleted. Catalog attributes that are either in use by products or are predefined attributes cannot be deleted; however, their configuration properties will reset to default values upon removal request. After catalog changes, it takes about 10 minutes for this field to update.
• indexable-option=amet.
  • When AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level is CATALOG_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG, if INDEXABLE_ENABLED attribute values are indexed so that it can be filtered, faceted, or boosted in SearchService.Search. Must be specified when AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level is CATALOG_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG, otherwise throws INVALID_FORMAT error.
• key=duo
  • Required. Attribute name. For example: color, brands, attributes.custom_attribute, such as attributes.xyz. To be indexable, the attribute name can contain only alpha-numeric characters and underscores. For example, an attribute named attributes.abc_xyz can be indexed, but an attribute named attributes.abc-xyz cannot be indexed. If the attribute key starts with attributes., then the attribute is a custom attribute. Attributes such as brands, patterns, and title are built-in and called system attributes.
• retrievable-option=ipsum
  • If RETRIEVABLE_ENABLED, attribute values are retrievable in the search results. If unset, the server behavior defaults to RETRIEVABLE_DISABLED.
• searchable-option=gubergren
  • When AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level is CATALOG_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG, if SEARCHABLE_ENABLED, attribute values are searchable by text queries in SearchService.Search. If SEARCHABLE_ENABLED but attribute type is numerical, attribute values will not be searchable by text queries in SearchService.Search, as there are no text values associated to numerical attributes. Must be specified, when AttributesConfig.attribute_config_level is CATALOG_LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE_CONFIG, otherwise throws INVALID_FORMAT error.
• type=lorem
  • Output only. The type of this attribute. This is derived from the attribute in Product.attributes.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

• -p $-xgafv=string

  • V1 error format.

• -p access-token=string

  • OAuth access token.

  • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

• -p pretty-print=boolean

  • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.
