I am a new Magento 2 user and I'm trying to develop a plugin, but iv been stuck on this problem for the past 2 days. I am trying to programmatically add a new product to the Magento 2 database. For this, I figured out I need to inject de product factory dependency to my custom plugin but I have no clue how to do this. I see there is a di.xml file in most plugins so I'm guessing this stands for Dependency Injection and I need to add the relevant code here but have no idea as to how to do this.
I am trying to use the product factory in Controller/Adminhtml/Index/Index.php, this is my directory structure:
What do I need to write in di.xml to be able to get this dependency in Index's constructor?
This is my Index.php code:
<?php
namespace Sunoptic\Koppeling\Controller\Adminhtml\Index;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
class Index extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
{
private $_productFactory;
private $_productRepository;
public function __construct(\Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context, \Magento\Catalog\Api\Data\ProductInterfaceFactory $productFactory)
{
parent::__construct($context);
$this->_productFactory = $productFactory;
}
public function execute()
{
/** @var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Raw $result */
$result = $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_RAW);
$string = "";
$result->setContents($string);
return $result;
}
}
This returns error 500 probably because of the dependency problem.
I expect this error but have no clue how to actually add this dependancy.
