help me find correct response model

Hi, here is my database schema for a shop. I want to build a page to display product details. Use can choose between attributes and based on their choice I want to display price and quantity in stock (select variant of product). Some attributes might be unavailable. What's response model (dto) should I create and return as a response for this page to make less calculations on the client (for example group attribute value)?

given your schema allows for an unlimited number of custom attributes, I'd probably do this like

record ProductVariant(
  int Id,
  Dictionary<string, string> Attributes,
  int Quantity,
  int Price)

record ProductPageDTO(
  ProductVariant[] Variants)

record ProductVariant(
  int Id,
  Dictionary<string, string> Attributes,
  int Quantity,
  int Price)

record ProductPageDTO(
  ProductVariant[] Variants)

let the view generate an attribute group for each key, add a button for each value under that key, and if a product variant is missing a key-value pair generate a "None" button to represent that
