Enhancing Product Filtering with Product Type Properties.

[alex-pommier]

Currently using the Categories view model I display a grid of products. I see knockout.js was used for the drilldown view that currently has the ability to filter by product types. In addition to that i'd like to display to users filters defined as product type properties. IE: If you have two product types: Candles & Perfume; and product type properties: Scent & Size, then i'd like a user to be able to select which scents and/or sizes they'd like to filter by.

I've investigated the action deligate pipeline but it looks to be useful only for checkout & cart not my usecase. Alternatively i've though about creating my own module and using the API to create my own view and filter mechanisms but there are no endpoints i've found that I could use for product type properties. The only solution i've come across is heavily modifying the HCC source.

I wanted to ask the community before going deeper if anyone's achieved something similar in a simple way?
