Sitecore Commerce Sellable item variants

Question

I am trying to get the product variants from a SellableItem but I can't seem to be able to find the Variant item.

Below are the steps that I am doing currently

1A) Get sellable item

var sellableItemId = "myid"
SellableItem item = container.SellableItems.Where(x => x.ProductId == sellableItemId ))..FirstOrDefault()

return item.ItemVariations;

1B) This returns a list of variantIds.

"57042066|57042067|57042068|57042069|57042070"

2A) I tried using similar code below to retrieve the variant item, but it is not able to find anything.

var variantId = "57042066";
var variant = container.SellableItems.Where(x => x.ProductId == variantId));

Answer 1

You don't need to do 2A step.

SellableItem already contains Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Catalog.ItemVariationsComponent. Inside of Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Catalog.ItemVariationsComponent you will find ChildComponents property, which contains array of Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Catalog.ItemVariationComponent.
