How do I increase the max record size limit in the Magento extension?

The Magento extension caps the max record size to 10kb by default.

If your Algolia plan includes a higher max record size allowance, you can increase this value in the extension by following the steps below:

Customizing the record size limit#

By default, the user can fetch the max record size limit set in the extension by calling the method Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\Helper\ConfigHelper::getMaxRecordSizeLimit().

The method returns the DEFAULT_MAX_RECORD_SIZE constant defined in the same class, which is set to 10000.

public function getDefaultMaxRecordSize()
{
   return self::DEFAULT_MAX_RECORD_SIZE;
}

This method is public, that means that you can use a standard Magento plugin to override this value.

Create a custom module

First, you need to create a custom module where you can register and implement the custom behavior. To achieve this, you can look at the guide on creating a custom extension.

Register the plugin

Create a etc/di.xml file with the following code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
   <type name="Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\Helper\ConfigHelper">
       <plugin name="algoliaUpdateMaxRecordSize" type="Algolia\CustomAlgolia\Plugin\ConfigHelperPlugin"/>
   </type>
</config>

Create the Plugin

Now, create the plugin class in the Plugin/ConfigHelperPlugin.php file:

<?php

namespace Algolia\CustomAlgolia\Plugin;

use Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\Helper\ConfigHelper;

class ConfigHelperPlugin
{
   public function afterGetMaxRecordSizeLimit(ConfigHelper $subject, $result)
   {
       // You can either return a new value or add a custom logic if that's needed
       return 20000;
   }
}

Clean the Magento cache, and you’re all set.
