A quick method for developers who get bored to check the functionalities they implement! (including me )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was working on a module development task that required to check each and every feature with a simple product and configurable product. Each time repeating the process to select the options, add to cart, and checkout was not feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, I came up with a solution that allowed me to add Magento 2 configurable products programmatically to cart<\/strong><\/em> which reduced my tedious task!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the solution for my readers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Add Magento 2 Configurable Products Programmatically to Cart:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Create registration.php<\/strong> file in app\\code\\[Vendor]\\[Namespace]\\<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php\n\\Magento\\Framework\\Component\\ComponentRegistrar::register(\n    \\Magento\\Framework\\Component\\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,\n    '[Vendor]_[Namespace]',\n    __DIR__\n);<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Create module.xml<\/strong> file in app\\code\\[Vendor]\\[Namespace]\\etc<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<config xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\"\n        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:framework:Module\/etc\/module.xsd\">\n    <module name=\"[Vendor]_[Namespace]\" setup_version=\"1.0.0\"\/>\n<\/config><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
3. Create Data.php<\/strong> file in app\\code\\[Vendor]\\[Namespace]\\Helper<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\nnamespace [Vendor]\\[namespace]\\Helper;\n\nuse Magento\\Framework\\App\\Helper\\AbstractHelper;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\App\\Helper\\Context;\nuse Magento\\Checkout\\Model\\Cart;\nuse Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\ProductFactory;\n\nclass Data extends AbstractHelper\n{\n    private $cart;\n    private $productFactory;\n    public function __construct(Context $context, Cart $cart, ProductFactory $productFactory)\n    {\n\n        $this->productFactory = $productFactory;\n        $this->cart = $cart;\n        parent::__construct($context);\n\n    }\n\n    public function getAddConfigurableProduct($parentId, $childId)\n    {\n        $parent = $this->productFactory->load($parentId);\n        $child = $this->productFactory->load($childId);\n\n        $cart = $this->cart;\n\n        $params = [];\n        $params['product'] = $parent->getId();\n        $params['qty'] = '1';\n        $options = [];\n\n        $productAttributeOptions = $parent->getTypeInstance(true)->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($parent);\n\n        foreach ($productAttributeOptions as $option) {\n            $options[$option['attribute_id']] = $child->getData($option['attribute_code']);\n        }\n        $params['super_attribute'] = $options;\n\n        \/*Add product to cart *\/\n        $cart->addProduct($parent, $params);\n        $cart->save();\n\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can use the above helper method by passing parent product id and child product id in anywhere in Magento 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s it. After done with this you can also get Magento 2 simple product ID from configurable product<\/a> to get child product ID of configurable product by swatch options using jQuery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever you are required to add configurable products to the cart while Magento 2 development, you may use this programmatic method!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
