If you are here, then you are a beginner in Magento 2 world! Welcome. It isn\u2019t as hard as people say <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magento 2 configurable product<\/a> is a single product with variations in it. Each variation is an individual simple product with a unique SKU. Hence, one can track the inventory for each variation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are six product types<\/a> in Magento 2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Simple Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Configurable Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Grouped Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Virtual Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Bundle Product<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Downloadable Product<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Learning how to programmatically create configurable product in Magento 2<\/strong><\/em> makes it easy for the developers while creating an online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, apparel available in different sizes or colors is an example of a configurable product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Check the below code to become a pro in creating Magento 2 configurable products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method to programmatically create configurable product in Magento 2:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <?php\nnamespace [Vendor]\\[Module]\\Controller;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\App\\Action\\Action;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\App\\Action\\Context;\nuse Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\Product;\nclass Test extends Action\n{\n    protected $customerSession;\n    protected $resultPageFactory;\n    protected $redirectFactory;\n    protected $newProduct;\n    public function __construct(Context $context, Product $newProduct, \\Magento\\Framework\\ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager)\n    {\n        $this->newProduct = $newProduct;\n        parent::__construct($context);\n\n    }\n    public function execute()\n    {\n        $product = $this->newProduct;\n        $product->setSku('mySku'); \/\/ Set your sku here\n        $product->setName('Sample Configurable Product'); \/\/ Name of Product\n        $product->setAttributeSetId(4); \/\/ Attribute set id\n        $product->setStatus(1); \/\/ Status on product enabled\/ disabled 1\/0\n        $product->setWeight(10); \/\/ weight of product\n        $product->setVisibility(4); \/\/ visibilty of product (catalog \/ search \/ catalog, search \/ Not visible individually)\n        $product->setTaxClassId(0); \/\/ Tax class id\n        $product->setTypeId('configurable'); \/\/ type of product (simple\/virtual\/downloadable\/configurable)\n        $product->setPrice(100); \/\/ price of product\n        $product->setStockData(array('use_config_manage_stock' => 0, 'manage_stock' => 1, 'is_in_stock' => 1, 'qty' => 999999999));\n        $product->save();\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    That\u2019s it. Also in Magento 2 you can get simple product ID from configurable product<\/a> to get child product ID of a configurable product by swatch options using jQuery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Easy, ain\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
