[jellesiderius]

Is it possible to get a product collection just by categoryID?

Hello @jellesiderius

Please detail a bit more what you are trying to do.

If you are planning to retrieve an Elasticsearch based collection filtered on a given category, you can instantiate the Fulltext product collection and use the addCategoryFilter method, like this :

use Smile\ElasticsuiteCatalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Fulltext\CollectionFactory as FulltextCollectionFactory;

$productCollection = $this->collectionFactory->create();
$productCollection->addCategoryFilter($categoryId);
