How can I make a product finder which uses answers from a form?












0















I want to create a Product finder that narrows down a list of products that can then be displayed like a search filter does.



Here is an example of what I want to do, It is GiffGaff's phone finder:



https://phonefinder.giffgaff.com/#/user/home



I can't find any tutorials for a product finder and the search filter tutorials are rather limited.



I thought about using the form inputs to narrow down an array of the products by subtracting a different array for each question.



This is the code that I put together from multiple examples just to see if it would work but I am not sure if it is scale-able or how I can implement it into my website.



I am going to create many buttons like this with a submit button at the bottom, the website will then output a list of results related to the opinions of the user.



For example in the code that I wrote after answering the first question the website removes products a, c and d which are to do with work use when the home button is selected.



<script>
var array1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"];
// by Id
function func2()
{
if(document.getElementById("h").checked)
{
var val = document.getElementById("h").value;
homeuse = true
$(function(){
var array2 = ["a", "c", "d"];
var diff = $(array1).not(array2).get();
console.log(diff);
alert(diff);
});

}

else if(document.getElementById("r").checked)
{
var val = document.getElementById("r").value;
workuse = true
$(function(){
var array2 = ["b", "e"];
var diff = $(array1).not(array2).get();
console.log(diff);
alert(diff);
});

}

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<input type="radio" name="type" value="1111" id="h" onclick="func2();"/>Home<br/>
<input type="radio" name="type" value="2222" id="r" onclick="func2();"/>Work<br/>

</body>




Is there an easier way of doing this and how do I implement this into a product list. Must it even be done server side?



Thanks
