### getChildren

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, collectionId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>) => `Promise<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`[]>``}   />

Returns an array of name/id pairs representing all ancestor Collections up
to the Root Collection.
### getCollectionsByProductId

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, productId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>, publicOnly: boolean) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>>``}   />

Returns all Collections which are associated with the given Product ID.
### getDescendants

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, rootId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>, maxDepth: number = Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>>``}   />

Returns the descendants of a Collection as a flat array. The depth of the traversal can be limited
with the maxDepth argument. So to get only the immediate children, set maxDepth = 1.
### getAncestors

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(collectionId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>) => `Promise<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`[]>``}   />

Gets the ancestors of a given collection. Note that since ProductCategories are implemented as an adjacency list, this method
will produce more queries the deeper the collection is in the tree.
### getAncestors

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(collectionId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>, ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>>``}   />


### getAncestors

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(collectionId: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>, ctx?: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`> | `<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>``}   />


### previewCollectionVariants

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: PreviewCollectionVariantsInput, options?: `ListQueryOptions<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/product-variant#productvariant'>ProductVariant</a>`>`, relations?: `RelationPaths<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>`) => `Promise<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/paginated-list#paginatedlist'>PaginatedList</a>`<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/product-variant#productvariant'>ProductVariant</a>`>>``}   />


### create

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: CreateCollectionInput) => `Promise<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>``}   />


### update

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: UpdateCollectionInput) => `Promise<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>``}   />


### delete

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, id: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>) => `Promise<DeletionResponse>``}   />


### move

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: MoveCollectionInput) => `Promise<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>``}   />

Moves a Collection by specifying the parent Collection ID, and an index representing the order amongst
its siblings.
### setApplyAllFiltersOnProductUpdates

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(applyAllFiltersOnProductUpdates: boolean) => `}  since="3.1.3"  />

By default, whenever product data is updated (as determined by subscribing to the
<DocsLink href="/reference/typescript-api/events/event-types#productevent">ProductEvent</DocsLink> and <DocsLink href="/reference/typescript-api/events/event-types#productvariantevent">ProductVariantEvent</DocsLink> events), the CollectionFilters are re-applied
to all Collections.

In certain scenarios, such as when a large number of products are updated at once due to
bulk data import, this can be inefficient. In such cases, you can disable this behaviour
for the duration of the import process by calling this method with `false`, and then
re-enable it by calling with `true`.

Afterward, you can call the `triggerApplyFiltersJob` method to manually re-apply the filters.
### triggerApplyFiltersJob

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, options?: { collectionIds?: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>[]; applyToChangedVariantsOnly?: boolean }) => `}  since="3.1.3"  />

Triggers the creation of an `apply-collection-filters` job which will cause the contents
of the specified collections to be re-evaluated against their filters.

If no `collectionIds` option is passed, then all collections will be re-evaluated.
### getCollectionProductVariantIds

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(collection: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>, ctx?: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>) => `Promise<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/common/id#id'>ID</a>`[]>``}   />


### assignCollectionsToChannel

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: AssignCollectionsToChannelInput) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>>``}   />

Assigns Collections to the specified Channel
### removeCollectionsFromChannel

<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(ctx: <a href='/reference/typescript-api/request/request-context#requestcontext'>RequestContext</a>, input: RemoveCollectionsFromChannelInput) => `Promise<Array<Translated<`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/entities/collection#collection'>Collection</a>`>>>``}   />

Remove Collections from the specified Channel
