Dimensions (width and length) product filter

I have made adjustments to be able to implement a dimensions product filter, to filter products by width and length. Could this be implemented in an update perhaps? This is what I made for now in my functions.php https://pastebin.com/aRfSRH9m

Hi @Nancy, Thank you for reaching out and sharing the custom code you’ve implemented to add a dimensions product filter widget. We appreciate your initiative and the detailed work you’ve done. We understand the value of having a product filter by width and length. However, at this moment, we do not have plans to integrate this widget into the theme globally. The primary reason for this decision is to keep our theme as lightweight as possible for all users. Adding features that only a small fraction of our user base will use can lead to unnecessary bloat, which we strive to avoid. Your custom solution is a great way to address your specific needs without affecting the overall performance for other users. While we don’t plan to add this functionality into the core theme, we encourage you to continue using your implementation. If there is a significant increase in requests for this feature in the future, we will certainly reconsider it. If you need any further assistance with your code or have other customization requests, please feel free to reach out (https://www.8theme.com/account/#etheme_customization_panel). Best regards, Jack Richardson

It's a widget, you can insert it in the shopping sidebar location, and give it a custom title. The fields itself and the selections are hardcoded for now, maybe an option to make it more dynamic?
