How to programmatically create a configurable Magento 2 product

September 7, 2015 - Magento 2

If the simple and configurable products are not assigned together like in the folowing example, there is a reliable solution.

//simple product
    $simple_product = $this->_objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');
    $simple_product->setSku('test-simple');
    $simple_product->setName('test name simple');
    $simple_product->setAttributeSetId(4);
    $simple_product->setSize_general(193); // value id of S size
    $simple_product->setStatus(1);
    $simple_product->setTypeId('simple');
    $simple_product->setPrice(10);
    $simple_product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));
    $simple_product->setCategoryIds(array(31));
    $simple_product->setStockData(array(
        'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox
        'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock
        'min_sale_qty' => 1, //Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
        'max_sale_qty' => 2, //Maximum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
        'is_in_stock' => 1, //Stock Availability
        'qty' => 100 //qty
        )
    );

    $simple_product->save();

    $simple_product_id = $simple_product->getId();
    echo "simple product id: ".$simple_product_id."\n";

    //configurable product
    $configurable_product = $this->_objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');
    $configurable_product->setSku('test-configurable');
    $configurable_product->setName('test name configurable');
    $configurable_product->setAttributeSetId(4);
    $configurable_product->setStatus(1);
    $configurable_product->setTypeId('configurable');
    $configurable_product->setPrice(11);
    $configurable_product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));
    $configurable_product->setCategoryIds(array(31));
    $configurable_product->setStockData(array(
        'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox
        'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock
        'is_in_stock' => 1, //Stock Availability
        )
    );

    $configurable_product->getTypeInstance()->setUsedProductAttributeIds(array(152),$configurable_product); //attribute ID of attribute 'size_general' in my store
    $configurableAttributesData = $configurable_product->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($configurable_product);

    $configurable_product->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);
    $configurable_product->setConfigurableAttributesData($configurableAttributesData);

    $configurableProductsData = array();
    $configurableProductsData[$simple_product_id] = array( //[$simple_product_id] = id of a simple product associated with this configurable
        '0' => array(
            'label' => 'S', //attribute label
            'attribute_id' => '152', //attribute ID of attribute 'size_general' in my store
            'value_index' => '193', //value of 'S' index of the attribute 'size_general'
            'is_percent'    => 0,
            'pricing_value' => '10',
        )
    );
    $configurable_product->setConfigurableProductsData($configurableProductsData);

    $configurable_product->save();

    echo "configurable product id: ".$configurable_product->getId()."\n";

//simple product

$simple_product = $this->_objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');

$simple_product->setSku('test-simple');

$simple_product->setName('test name simple');

$simple_product->setAttributeSetId(4);

$simple_product->setSize_general(193); // value id of S size

$simple_product->setStatus(1);

$simple_product->setTypeId('simple');

$simple_product->setPrice(10);

$simple_product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));

$simple_product->setCategoryIds(array(31));

$simple_product->setStockData(array(

'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox

'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock

'min_sale_qty' => 1, //Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart

'max_sale_qty' => 2, //Maximum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart

'is_in_stock' => 1, //Stock Availability

'qty' => 100 //qty

)

);

$simple_product->save();

$simple_product_id = $simple_product->getId();

echo "simple product id: ".$simple_product_id."\n";

//configurable product

$configurable_product = $this->_objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');

$configurable_product->setSku('test-configurable');

$configurable_product->setName('test name configurable');

$configurable_product->setAttributeSetId(4);

$configurable_product->setStatus(1);

$configurable_product->setTypeId('configurable');

$configurable_product->setPrice(11);

$configurable_product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));

$configurable_product->setCategoryIds(array(31));

$configurable_product->setStockData(array(

'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox

'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock

'is_in_stock' => 1, //Stock Availability

)

);

$configurable_product->getTypeInstance()->setUsedProductAttributeIds(array(152),$configurable_product); //attribute ID of attribute 'size_general' in my store

$configurableAttributesData = $configurable_product->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($configurable_product);

$configurable_product->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true);

$configurable_product->setConfigurableAttributesData($configurableAttributesData);

$configurableProductsData = array();

$configurableProductsData[$simple_product_id] = array( //[$simple_product_id] = id of a simple product associated with this configurable

'0' => array(

'label' => 'S', //attribute label

'attribute_id' => '152', //attribute ID of attribute 'size_general' in my store

'value_index' => '193', //value of 'S' index of the attribute 'size_general'

'is_percent' => 0,

'pricing_value' => '10',

)

);

$configurable_product->setConfigurableProductsData($configurableProductsData);

$configurable_product->save();

echo "configurable product id: ".$configurable_product->getId()."\n";

You can review on API functional test aimed at creating configurable product. You code should have the following look:

$product = $productFactory->create(['name'=> 'configurable product', ... ]);
$configurableOption = $optionFactory->create([]);
$linkedProduct = $linkFactory->create([]);
$product->getExtensionAttributes()->setConfigurableProductOptions($configurableOption)l
$product->getExtensionAttributes()->setConfigurableProductLinks($linkedProduct);
$productRepository->save($product)

$product = $productFactory->create(['name'=> 'configurable product', ... ]);

$configurableOption = $optionFactory->create([]);

$linkedProduct = $linkFactory->create([]);

$product->getExtensionAttributes()->setConfigurableProductOptions($configurableOption)l

$product->getExtensionAttributes()->setConfigurableProductLinks($linkedProduct);

$productRepository->save($product)

It is also necessary to mention that the API does not generate simple product, so there is the need to create in advance.

How Can I move a search bar in Navigation div in Magento 2 via XML?

September 7, 2015 - Magento 2

You can put a search box after the navigation block and use css to make display it in one line, since html/topmenu.phtml block doesn’t print its child’s

<move element="top.search" destination="page.top" after="catalog.topnav" />

1	<move element="top.search" destination="page.top" after="catalog.topnav" />

Alternatively, you can overwrite html/topmenu.phtml to

<?php $columnsLimit = $block->getColumnsLimit() ?: 0; ?> <?php $_menu = $block->getHtml('level-top', 'submenu', $columnsLimit) ?> <nav role="navigation"> <ul data-mage-init='{"menu":{"responsive":true, "expanded":true, "position":{"my":"left top","at":"left bottom"}}}'> <?php echo $_menu; ?> </ul> <?php echo $block->getChildHtml() ?> </nav>

<?php $columnsLimit = $block->getColumnsLimit() ?: 0; ?> <?php $_menu = $block->getHtml('level-top', 'submenu', $columnsLimit) ?> <nav role="navigation"> <ul data-mage-init='{"menu":{"responsive":true, "expanded":true, "position":{"my":"left top","at":"left bottom"}}}'> <?php echo $_menu; ?> </ul> <?php echo $block->getChildHtml() ?> </nav>
