We have three main models related to the problem:

• Product
• Ingredient
• Merchant

And one pivot table for IngredientProduct

The pivot table has three columns: ingredient_id, product_id, merchant_id The merchant_id is needed for an additional column order_column that will be needed for custom sorting later

When attaching a product to an ingredient, we need to include the selected merchant from the filter to algolia query, so we only get products from the selected merchant.

1. Visit http://nova.test/nova/resources/ingredients/1
2. Select a merchant from the filter e.g. Superstore
3. Click Attach Product
4. The searchable product field should only show products from the selected merchant

• Pass merchant_id from the filter to the attach screen through a query parameter and change the scoutQuery
• Perfect would be to pass the selected merchant and also replace the search dropdown/select with a custom component, so we could implement Algolias Vue InstantSearch and add all the facet filters in the custom component.
