How do I get only the selected products from an order object?

Question

I am getting the order information after the checkout process is finished and I saw something that is strange for me.

I use :

$orderItems = $order->getAllItems();

and for configurable products I get the Parent Tshirt for example and the Selected Medium Tshirt. So I get 2 items instead of 1.

How do I get only the selected products from an order object?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "selected". They did select the parent product w/ options leading to the child? If you're looking for the parent item, look for the one with type_id of "configurable". If you want the child, you need the one with a parent_id which is not null.

I'll be happy to answer with code if you give more clarification.
