Attribute Machine json data

[RayYates]

When selecting an attribute Attribute_Machine makes an ajax call to get json variant and inventory data in the variable possible_response

Via javascript, How do I access the data after Attribute_Machine is finished.

The client wants to display the actual Inventory out message on the screen (example: Summer 2016)

It is available globally on the page as a JS object. The instance of attribute macine on the page is always named "am" + product id so you can do something like this:

<script>
            if (typeof am&mvt:product:id; !== 'undefined') {
                var attrMachCall = am&mvt:product:id;;
            };
 </script>

Then you can access data using your attrMachCall object

I don't find the data as part of am&mvt:product:id; however I did find amPossible&mvt:product:id; contains the initial variant data for the first option when the page loads.

When another option is selected, is does not seem this is overwritten after the ajax call.

Should I attach my own click event to the <LI> tag ? I tried adding code to AttributeMachine.prototype.Swatch_Click but it does not seem the variable is getting updated.

The after further study the data you pointed me to is the initial data when the page is loaded.

When a swatch is selected an NEW ajax call is made returning the attribute and variant data. However appear the variant data is not stored and only the attribute data is returned. It seems the variant inventory is used to enable or disable the add to cart button, then discarded. Later the fact that the button is disabled it used within [scripts.js].outofStock() to change the text to the hard coded value "Sold Out".

It's looking like I will need to perform another ajax call to reload the variant inventory data for the selected option. This will mean reverse engineering AttributeMachine.prototype.Initialize unless you have another way or some sample code.
