How to trigger an index for a configurable if the simple price index was changed

Question

I made a pull request enter link description here for an the ElasticSuite module to make a discount of configurables flag dependent on simples.

Now of course the configurable has to be reindexed if on of the simples are changed.

Is there any Magento technique do have such cascading index triggers or does everything has to be done manually?

Edit: maybe mview.xml can help

Have you considered going down the event observer route? So catch a simple product save and look for parent product and trigger a save. Or better yet catch save and trigger an index of the parent product. Sorry I haven't done anything like this in Magento 2 just yet. So just a suggestion. I can't show you anything at code level. — Dominic Pixie

@DominicXigen yes, was having something like this in mind, but wondering if there is an automatism for that already — Alex

In theory should sort itself out on next full price index. You could run on schedule? php bin/magento index:reindex catalog_product_price. Not 100% on that though. So not put as answer. — Dominic Pixie

It does. The question is about having this ensured on the fly — Alex
