Right-click on the App folder and click Create Folder to create a new folder for models and name it. For example models.
Right-click on the model's folder and click Create File to create a product model and name it. For example s-product.model.ts
In the s-product.model.ts, import Product from @apttus/ecommerce. For example: import { Product } from @apttus/ecommerce
Create the extension of the product for your custom model. For example, export class SProduct extends Product {}. The SProduct class has all the properties of the original product.
Example for option group lookups to fetch the option products:
When adding custom properties to your model, you must associate the following decorators from the @apttus/core library. These are used to map your classes to the underlying Salesforce objects. Basically, this mechanism is to map typescript classes with Salesforce objects using decorators.
ATable - This is used to map product class to any object on the backend by specifying what object you want to map it up to. For Salesforce, the object name can be added to the field sobjectName.
AField - This is used to specify the Salesforce name of the custom field. For example: SRM_Manufacturer__c. It is not necessary to use the Salesforce syntax for the field name. You can provide a generic name. For example manufacturer. You must specify a default value for any field created. Do not leave a blank value.
Expose - This is used to specify the Salesforce name of the custom field. For example: Apttus_Config2__ComponentProductId__r. This is applicable only for a few models when trying to extend instead of using AField. You must specify a default value for any field created. Do not leave a blank value.

Type - This is used to determine relationship types (child or lookups). It is recommended to also set the default value to ‘null’ on all attributes unless a default value is explicitly needed.
Now that you have created your custom product model, mapped the typescript class to the
Salesforce object Product2, and provided custom fields, you must map it back to the
service. The product service looks up at the product class. You can override that using
a setType method that is available on every single service. This method should be
created in the constructor of the component. This changes the mapping of that service to
the model that you want to use. Once this is done within your application or within your
module, the method gets applied to every other component within your module. Now pass it
in the class reference of the class you just created. For details, refer to the image
below.
