Spree grab all products for taxon and children taxons

Question

I basically want to grab the following in a view:

All the products for the current taxon, and then all the products for the taxon's children. What's the best way to do this? Is there a method already?

Answer 1

taxon_products = current_taxon.products
children_products = current_taxon.children.includes(:products).map(&:products).
                                  flatten.compact.uniq

Answer 2

The answer by @PinnyM is fine if you only need to search one level of children, but if you want to find all the products under a taxon, you can use the in_taxon scope like this:

children_products = Spree::Product.in_taxon(current_taxon)
