I was working on a module development task that required to check each and every feature with a simple product and configurable product. Each time repeating the process to select the options, add to cart, and checkout was not feasible.

Hence, I came up with a solution that allowed me to add Magento 2 configurable products programmatically to cart which reduced my tedious task!

Sharing the solution for my readers,

^{Steps to Add Magento 2 Configurable Products Programmatically to Cart:}

1. Create registration.php file in app\code\[Vendor]\[Namespace]\

productFactory = $productFactory;
        $this->cart = $cart;
        parent::__construct($context);
 
    }
 
    public function getAddConfigurableProduct($parentId, $childId)
    {
        $parent = $this->productFactory->load($parentId);
        $child = $this->productFactory->load($childId);
 
        $cart = $this->cart;
 
        $params = [];
        $params['product'] = $parent->getId();
        $params['qty'] = '1';
        $options = [];
 
        $productAttributeOptions = $parent->getTypeInstance(true)->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($parent);
 
        foreach ($productAttributeOptions as $option) {
            $options[$option['attribute_id']] = $child->getData($option['attribute_code']);
        }
        $params['super_attribute'] = $options;
 
        /*Add product to cart */
        $cart->addProduct($parent, $params);
        $cart->save();
 
    }
}
