Create product with image programmatically

[saaraan]

Can anyone show me how to properly create a product and attach the local image or the image url? right now product is created succesfully in my bagisto package, but image is not being attached to the product and not processed at all. am I doing something wrong? thanks in advance

try {
        // Example: Use the default attribute family
        $attributeFamily = $this->attributeFamilyRepository->findOneByField('code', 'default');
        $channel = Channel::where('code', 'default')->first();
        $locale = Locale::where('code', 'en')->first();

        // Fetch the image
        $imageUrl = 'https://example.com/download_image.jpg';
        $response = Http::get($imageUrl);

        // Check if the HTTP request was successful
        if (!$response->successful()) {
            throw new \Exception('Failed to fetch image from URL: ' . $imageUrl);
        }

        $imageContents = $response->body();
        $filename = 'product_' . uniqid() . '.jpg';
        $tempImagePath = storage_path('app/temp/' . $filename);
        Storage::disk('local')->put('temp/' . $filename, $imageContents);

        // Verify the file was saved successfully
        if (!file_exists($tempImagePath)) {
            throw new \Exception('Failed to save temporary image to: ' . $tempImagePath);
        }

        // Create an UploadedFile instance
        $uploadedFile = new UploadedFile(
            $tempImagePath,
            $filename,
            mime_content_type($tempImagePath) ?: 'image/jpeg',
            null,

        }

        // Refresh the flat indexer
        $this->flatIndexer->refresh($updatedProduct);
        
        return response()->json([
            'message' => 'Product created successfully!',
            'product' => $updatedProduct,

Hello @saaraan

Kindly let us know the bagisto version you are using.

@rishabh-webkul19 hello sir, the bagisto version is v2.3.7, which is latest. I could not find the proper way to create a product on bagisto documentation. I am just shooting in the dark with code above, my goal is simple :

1. Create product with variation : colors & size
2. attach the image (local or remote)

i did find a snippet in services folder (package directory) that does create the product but not sure how variants and images are processed. thank you.

public function createProduct(array $productData, array $variants = []): \Webkul\Product\Models\Product
    {
        return DB::transaction(function () use ($productData, $variants) {
            // 1. Create parent product
            $product = $this->productRepository->create($productData);

            // 2. If variants are provided, attach them
            foreach ($variants as $attributeCode => $values) {
                foreach ($values as $value) {
                    $childData = array_merge($productData, [
                        'parent_id'      => $product->id,
                        'type'           => 'simple',
                        'sku'            => $productData['sku'] . '-' . strtolower($value),
                        $attributeCode   => $value, // e.g. 'color' => 'Red'
                    ]);

                    $child = $this->productRepository->create($childData);

                    // inventory (optional)
                    $this->productInventoryRepository->create([
                        'product_id'   => $child->id,
                        'inventory_source_id' => 1, // default inventory source
                        'qty'          => 10,
                    ]);
                }
            }

            return $product->load('variants');
        });
    }
}

Hello @saaraan

Variants should be stored like this. Check the below code for reference,

foreach ($values as $value) { $childData = array_merge($productData, [ 'parent_id' => $product->id, 'type' => 'simple', 'sku' => $productData['sku'] . '-' . strtolower($value), $attributeCode => $value, // e.g. 'color' => 'Red' ]); $child = $this->productRepository->create($childData); // inventory (optional) $this->productInventoryRepository->create([ 'product_id' => $child->id, 'inventory_source_id' => 1, // default inventory source 'qty' => 10, ]); }

@rishabh-webkul19 Thank you for your reply, what's proper way to attach the image? how does bagisto process the product image? thank you.

$ImagePath = '/storage/app/temp/image.jpg'; 
$uploadedFile = new UploadedFile(
  $ImagePath,
  'imageFileName',
  'image/jpeg',
  null,
  true
);
