If you have not read first blog post “How to Add an Attribute in Magento 2?” yet, we strongly recommend you to do so.
To Programmatically Create Attribute Type Drop Down in Magento 2, you need to follow the coding structure as mentioned below:
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
‘image_label’,
[
‘group’ => ‘General’,
‘type’ => ‘int’,
‘backend’ => ”,
‘frontend’ => ”,
‘label’ => ‘Select image label’,
‘input’ => ‘select’,
‘class’ => ”,
‘source’ => ‘Eecom\TestMod\Model\Config\Source\Options’,
‘global’ => \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Eav\Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
‘visible’ => true,
‘required’ => true,
‘user_defined’ => false,
‘default’ => ”,
‘searchable’ => false,
‘filterable’ => false,
‘comparable’ => false,
‘visible_on_front’ => false,
‘used_in_product_listing’ => true,
‘unique’ => false
]
);
Source for dropdown will be ‘Eecom\TestMod\Model\Config\Source\Options’, where you have to create the options array for a dropdown.
Eecom -> Namespace
TestMod -> your module
Options.php
<?php
namespace Eecom\TestMod\Model\Config\Source;
use Magento\Eav\Model\ResourceModel\Entity\Attribute\OptionFactory;
use Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\Table;
/**
* Custom Attribute Renderer
*/
class Options extends \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\AbstractSource
{
/**
* @var OptionFactory
*/
protected $optionFactory;
/**
* @param OptionFactory $optionFactory
*/
/**
* Get all options
*
* @return array
*/
public function getAllOptions()
{
/* your Attribute options list*/
$this->_options=[ [‘label’=>’Select Options’, ‘value’=>”],
[‘label’=>’Bestsellers’, ‘value’=>’0’],
[‘label’=>’Newest’, ‘value’=>’1’],
[‘label’=>’Hot’, ‘value’=>’2’],
[‘label’=>’Favourite’, ‘value’=>’3’]
];
return $this->_options;
}
}
}
