Get user & shop bias

It is possible to get the user- & shop-bias using the following JavaScript SDK method: getBias.

The user-bias contains the preferred brand & hierarchies (categories) for the specific user, whereas the shop bias is the most popular brands & hierarchies (categories) throughout the webshop. This function can be used to create personalized categories on the front page, which update based on the users' preferences.

Example

To request the bias push the getBias command to the command queue, along with a callback.

hrq = window.hrq || [];
hrq.push([
    "getBias",
    function(response){
        console.log(response); // The response contains the shop & user bias
    }
]);

The response has two object types, shop and user. The shop bias contains the favourite brands and hierarchies (categories) throughout the webshop. The user contains the user-specific preferences.

If implementing a personalized category box for a user, then use the shop-based bias as a fallback, if the user object is null (if we don't recognize the user).
