    $resizedURL = $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA).'resized/'.$width.'/'.$image;
    return $resizedURL;
  }

}

I want to get the most-view product collection. Please help me in this.

Answer 1

You are using the wrong class

\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection

You should use the below class

\Magento\Reports\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory

There is a difference between these two classes, the difference is module name changes to Reports

Hope it helps.
