Quick Workthrough

Here is the codes which I used in the video

<?php

return [
	'post_type' 		=> 'product',
	'post_status' 		=> 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' 	=> 8,
	'no_found_rows' 	=> 1,
	'orderby' 			=> 'title',
	'order' 			=> 'ASC'
];

Will It work with taxonomy?

Yes. I said that you can build any type of query(like meta query, date query, tax query, etc) with this custom provider. I already tested and built a category filterable page for the WooCommerce products.

I used the following query arguments in the code.

<?php

$query_args = [
	'post_type' 		=> 'product',
	'post_status' 		=> 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' 	=> 8,
	'tax_query' 		=> [
		'relation'	=> 'AND'
	],
	'orderby' 			=> 'title',
	'order' 			=> 'ASC'
];

if( isset( $_GET['cat'] ) ) {
	$query_args['tax_query'][] = [
		'taxonomy' 	=> 'product_cat',
		'field' 	=> 'slug',
		'terms' 	=> [ esc_html( $_GET['cat'] ) ],
		'operator' 	=> 'IN'
	];
}

return $query_args;
