/**
* Class MostViewedProducts
* @package Mageplaza\Productslider\Block
*/
class MostViewedProducts extends AbstractSlider
{
/**
* @var MostViewedCollectionFactory
*/
protected $_mostViewedProductsFactory;
/**
* MostViewedProducts constructor.
* @param Context $context
* @param CollectionFactory $productCollectionFactory
* @param Visibility $catalogProductVisibility
* @param DateTime $dateTime
* @param Data $helperData
* @param HttpContext $httpContext
* @param MostViewedCollectionFactory $mostViewedProductsFactory
* @param array $data
*/
public function __construct(
Context $context,
CollectionFactory $productCollectionFactory,
Visibility $catalogProductVisibility,
DateTime $dateTime,
Data $helperData,
HttpContext $httpContext,
MostViewedCollectionFactory $mostViewedProductsFactory,
array $data = []
) {
$this->_mostViewedProductsFactory = $mostViewedProductsFactory;
parent::__construct($context, $productCollectionFactory, $catalogProductVisibility, $dateTime, $helperData, $httpContext, $data);
}
/**
* Get Product Collection of MostViewed Products
* @return mixed
*/
public function getProductCollection()
{
$collection = $this->_mostViewedProductsFactory->create()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->setStoreId($this->getStoreId())->addViewsCount()
->addStoreFilter($this->getStoreId())
->setPageSize($this->getProductsCount());
return $collection;
