Create category in magento2 programmatically

In this we are going to see how we can create category in Magento2 programmatically,

First we need to have the ObjectManager by this code

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

Then let us have array with some Categories names

$cats = [ "cat1","cat2" ];

Let us setup the Parent Id of the categories

$parent_id = 322;

After that we will going throw the arrays items to create those categories

foreach($cats as $cat) {
    $data = [
        'data' => [
            "parent_id" => $parent_id,
            'name' => $cat,
            "is_active" => true,
            "position" => 10,
            "include_in_menu" => false,
        ]

     ];
    $category = $objectManager ->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Category', $data);
    $repository = $objectManager->get(\Magento\Catalog\Api\CategoryRepositoryInterface::class);
    $result = $repository->save($category);

}

Full code will be like this

$objectManager =   \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$cats = [
    "cat1","cat2"
];

$parent_id = 322;
foreach($cats as $cat) {
    $data = [
        'data' => [
            "parent_id" => $parent_id,
            'name' => $cat,
            "is_active" => true,
            "position" => 10,
            "include_in_menu" => false,
        ]
        
     ];
    $category = $objectManager ->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Category', $data);
    $repository = $objectManager->get(\Magento\Catalog\Api\CategoryRepositoryInterface::class);
    $result = $repository->save($category);
}

I hope this code will help you thank you for reading this wiki
