<?php /** * @author CynoInfotech Team * @package vendor_module */ declare (strict_types = 1); namespace vendor\module\Setup\Patch\Data; use Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface; use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup; use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory; use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface; use Magento\Framework\Setup\Patch\DataPatchInterface; use Magento\Catalog\Model\Category; /** * Class CategoryAttribute for Create Custom Category Attribute using Data Patch. */ class CategoryAttribute implements DataPatchInterface { /** * ModuleDataSetupInterface * * @var ModuleDataSetupInterface */ private $moduleDataSetup; /** * EavSetupFactory * * @var EavSetupFactory */ private $eavSetupFactory; /** * @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $moduleDataSetup * @param EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory */ public function __construct( ModuleDataSetupInterface $moduleDataSetup, EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory ) { $this->moduleDataSetup = $moduleDataSetup; $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory; } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function apply() { /** @var EavSetup $eavSetup */ $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create([‘setup’ => $this->moduleDataSetup]); $eavSetup->addAttribute(Category::ENTITY, ‘category_attribute’, [ ‘type’ => ‘text’, ‘label’ => ‘Custom Category Attribute’, ‘input’ => ‘text’, ‘default’ => 0, ‘sort_order’ => 5, ‘global’ => ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE, ‘group’ => ‘General Information’, ‘visible_on_front’ => true ]); } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public static function getDependencies() { return []; } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function getAliases() { return []; } } |
⇒ After that you need to create “category_form.xml” in this directory “vendor_name/module_name/view/adminhtml/ui_component“.
