Magento 2 - Get Catalog rule name and end date on product page

Question

I am trying to display a countdown timer using http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html on my product page to show the remaining time of the catalog rule that applies to that product

I have started with

   $_product = $block->getProduct();

if($_product->getSpecialPrice()){
    echo('<!-- special price -->');
    echo $_product->getSpecialPrice();
    // get special end date
    echo $_product->getSpecialToDate();

}

But it returns nothing, I need the end date to set the timer.

Any tips would be helpful.

any chance it can be unheld? – Gavin Jones Feb 18 '18 at 08:21 — Gavin Jones, Feb 18 '18 at 08:21

this question is a bit broad.

My suggestion would be to look into create a custom widget type, there's a good tutorial here: (http://inchoo.net/magento-2/magento-2-custom-widget/) In that widget you can allow the admin to select which catalog rule to be displayed, along with necessary logic to check if the rule is still active or not.

Then you would add the widget to PDP using custom layout / template rewrite.

Thanks William, it's how I get to the catalog rule data that I'm trying to find. – Gavin Jones Feb 17 '18 at 09:32
