This blog post is the 2^nd of our “Magento 2 Attribute Creation” blog series, you will now learn how to programmatically create attribute type drop down in Magento 2. 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

_options=[ ['label'=>'Select Options', 'value'=>''],

['label'=>'Bestsellers', 'value'=>'0'],

['label'=>'Newest', 'value'=>'1'],

['label'=>'Hot', 'value'=>'2'],

['label'=>'Favourite', 'value'=>'3']

];

return $this->_options;

}

}

}
