Look At Code:
Please have a look at the product visibility database table. The visibility column will have the following values: 10, 20, or 30. Most of them are probably in 30. Why? They symbolize the desired visibility.
vendor/shopware/core/Content/Product/Aggregate/ProductVisibility/ProductVisibilityDefinition.php
public const VISIBILITY_LINK = 10; /*Hide in Listing & Search*/public const VISIBILITY_SEARCH = 20; /*Hide in Listing*/public const VISIBILITY_ALL = 30; /*Visible everywhere*/
Tip to be consistent:
Please utilize the existing visibility variables to maintain consistency throughout the code. Please don't utilize numbers that are hard-coded, such as 10, 20, or 30. Example:
/*BAD*/
'visibilities' => [[
'salesChannelId' => $this->salesChannel->getSalesChannel()->getId(),
'visibility' => 30,
]],
/*GOOD*/
'visibilities' => [[
'salesChannelId' => $this->salesChannel->getSalesChannel()->getId(),
'visibility' => ProductVisibilityDefinition::VISIBILITY_ALL,
]],
