Magento – How Magento2 add attribute option programmatically (not in setup)

attributesmagento2

I try to add options for size and color attributes in my importer module but I don't how :

private function addOption($attributeCode, $value)
{
    $ob = $this->_objectManager;      
    /* @var $m \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\OptionManagement */
    $m = $this->optionManagement;
    /* @var $option \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Option */
    $option = $this->attributeOption;
    
    $option->setLabel($value);      
    $option->setValue($value);
    
    $m->add(\Magento\Catalog\Api\Data\ProductAttributeInterface::ENTITY_TYPE_CODE,
            $attributeCode,
            $option);

This report an error (I modified exception reporting on OptionMaganger.php to Exception->message)

Cannot save attribute size Notice: Undefined index: delete in /var/www/html/magento2/vendor/magento/module-swatches/Model/Plugin/EavAttribute.php on line 177

  • The OptionManagement and Option come from _contstructor
  • With OptionManagement I can retrieve the existing items, so should be ok..

setLabel() and setValue() are default, but I tried setData, load option instance and pass by OptionManagement->getItems to add(…) "again",
but error still exists…

Any idea, how can I append EAV Options (swatches?) during the import process? (not in module setup)

Update:

Other way I can add option:

$attributeCode = 137; /* on size, 90 on color ... */

$languageValues[0]='Admin Label'; 

$languageValues[1]='Default Store Label - XXXXL';
$ob = $this->_objectManager;

private function addOption($attributeCode,$languageValues){
$ob = $this->_objectManager;
/* @var $attr \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute */
$attr = $ob->create('\Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute'); 
$attr->load($attributeCode); 
$option = []; 
$option['value'][$languageValues[0]] = $languageValues; 
$attr->addData(array('option' => $option));
$attr->save();
}

This way Magento2 can save an option to attribute, but I don't know what is the "official" way 🙂

use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface;

declare:

protected $_eavSetupFactory;

constructor : 

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory,
    \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Eav\Attribute $attributeFactory,
    \Magento\Framework\ObjectManagerInterface $objectmanager,
    ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup,
    \Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductFactory $productloader
) {
    $this->_eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
    $this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
    $this->_attributeFactory = $attributeFactory;
    $this->_objectManager = $objectmanager;
    $this->setup = $setup;
    $this->_productloader = $productloader;
}

execute methode :

public function execute(EventObserver $observer)
{
    /** @var $brand \Ktpl\Brand\Model\Brand */
    $brand = $observer->getEvent()->getBrand();
    $option_id = "";

    $data = [];
    $attribute_arr = [$brand['brand_id'] => $brand['brand_title']];
    $optionTable = $this->setup->getTable('eav_attribute_option');
    $attributeInfo=$this->_attributeFactory->getCollection()
           ->addFieldToFilter('attribute_code',['eq'=>"shop_by_brand"])
           ->getFirstItem();

    $attribute_id = $attributeInfo->getAttributeId();

    $eavAttribute = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Eav\Model\Config');

    $option=array();
    $option['attribute_id'] = $attributeInfo->getAttributeId();
    $option['value'] = array(0=>array()); // 0 means "new option_id", other values like "14" means "update option_id=14" - this array index is casted to integer

    $storeManager = $this->_objectManager->get('Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
    $stores = $storeManager->getStores();
    $storeArray[0] = "All Store Views";       

    foreach ($stores  as $store) {
        $storeArray[$store->getId()] = $store->getName();
    }


    if (empty($brand['optionId'])) {
        foreach($attribute_arr as $key => $value){
            $option['value'][0][0]=$value;
                foreach($storeArray as $storeKey => $store){
                    $option['value'][0][$storeKey] = $value;
                }                
        }
    }
    else
    {
        foreach($attribute_arr as $key => $value){
                foreach($storeArray as $storeKey => $store){
                    $option['value'][$brand['optionId']][$storeKey] = $value;
                }                
        }
    }

    $eavSetup = $this->_eavSetupFactory->create();
    $eavSetup->addAttributeOption($option)

}
