Get Akeneo PIM product as standard format in own bundle

I have a custom symfony bundle used in Akeneo 1.6 (Upgraded from 1.3 some time ago), which I need to port to Akeneo 2.2.

What I need is get all product data by product ID in a controller action. This was done by $repository->getFullProduct($productId). This Method was removed in the current Akeneo version.

While researching I found that the "standard format" seemed helpful as it contains all product data as array.

How can I recieve this data? It doesn't have to be a clean solution, Quick&Dirty (Like the whole Bundle ;) ) is just fine. It's only for internal use.

I tried some stuff like $productStandard = $this->container->get('pim_api.normalizer.product')->normalize($product); whith different services, but based on the useless error messages I recieved I think it just doesn't make sense.

When searching products in Akeneo PIM, you should use the Product Query Builder. You can read more about it on the official documentation on querying products. A quite similar question has been asked, you can see my answer here: Query products with Doctrine ind Akeneo.

To get the standard format of a product, you can normalize your Product instance with the normalizer.

So this would look like this:

<?php
// Get a new instance of the PQB
$pqbFactory = $this->getContainer()->get('pim_catalog.query.product_query_builder_factory');
$pqb = $pqbFactory->create([
    'default_locale' => 'en_US',
    'default_scope' => 'ecommerce'
]);

// Now you can search for products with your ids
$pqb->addFilter(
    'id',
    'IN',
    ['234', '22', '90']
);

// Retrieve your products
$productsCursor = $pqb->execute();
$normalizedProducts = [];
foreach ($productsCursor as $product) {
    // normalize them to the standard format
    $normalizedProducts[] = $this->getContainer()->get('pim_standard_format_serializer')->normalize($product, 'standard');
}
