Feature Request: Trigger Full Reindex from Magento Admin Backend

[simonmaass]

It would be great if there was a button in the config to trigger a full reindex:

@simonmaass I just created my own module to do it. It's just a simple magento ajax button that executes the below. Also in the same module we have a button that clear the Redis cache as well. Let me know if you want the module.

public function execute()
{
try {
$command = 'php bin/magento vsbridge:reindex --all';
exec($command);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$result = $this->resultJsonFactory->create();
return $result->setData(['success' => true, 'message' => $e]);
}

    $message = 'done';
    /** @var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Json $result */
    $result = $this->resultJsonFactory->create();

    return $result->setData(['success' => true, 'message' => $message]);
}

@simonmaass Here you go

Just replace "Origin" with whatever you like in the system.xml file. This will show a tab in the Store > Config section
