Create Magento 2 Integration Programmatically

Magento 2 handles integrations within the Magento_Integration module. To create a Magento 2 Integration using XML configuration files, please follow these three key steps.

Step 1. Create a skeleton Module

Create the module file structure Similar to other custom modules in Magento 2, the integration module should be placed under /app/code// or under the /vendor/ folder. For instance, we will store the source code under. To keep things simple, let’s run the following commands at /app/code//.

cd 
mkdir -p app/code////etc/integration
mkdir -p app/code////Setup

Specify the configuration file for your module as etc/module.xml The etc/module.xml file contains essential details about the module. Navigate to the etc directory and create the module.xml file, where you need to provide the following information:

• Module name
• Module version
• Dependencies

Since we will be using the MagentoIntegrationModelConfigBasedIntegrationManager class in the installation script, we need to add Magento_Integration as a dependency for our custom integration creator.

Add your composer.json file Composer is a PHP dependency management. To ensure that the libraries required by your module can be installed and updated by Composer, you need to create a composer.json file. Simply place this file in the root directory of your module.

{
    "name": "Mageplaza/integrationmanager",
    "description": "",
    "type": "magento2-module",
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "license": [
      "MIT"
    ],
    "autoload": {
      "psr-4": {
        "Mageplaza\IntegrationManager\": ""
      },
      "files": [
        "registration.php"
      ]
    }
  }

Create a registration.php file The registration.php file is responsible for registering your module with the Magento system. Make sure to place this file in the root directory of your module.

MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::register(
    MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Mageplaza_IntegrationManager',
    __DIR__
);

Create an installation class that will generate an integration during the module installation process. Navigate to the Setup directory and generate a file named InstallData.php, which will handle the installation of integration configuration data into the Magento integration table.

namespace MageplazaIntegrationManagerSetup;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleContextInterface;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleDataSetupInterface;
use MagentoIntegrationModelConfigBasedIntegrationManager;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupInstallDataInterface;
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
    /**
     * @var ConfigBasedIntegrationManager
     */
    private $integrationManager;
    /**
     * @param ConfigBasedIntegrationManager $integrationManager
     */
    public function __construct(ConfigBasedIntegrationManager $integrationManager)
    {
        $this->integrationManager = $integrationManager;
    }
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $this->integrationManager->processIntegrationConfig(['mp_Integration']);
    }
}

The InstallData script will extract data from different XML configuration files before integrating it into Magento.

Step 2. Add Integration xml setting files

The Magento Integration module simplifies the process of defining an integration. This module is in charge of managing third-party accounts, OAuth authorizations and user data, and security tokens and requests.

To configure integrations programmatically, you can utilize two files:

• api.xml in the etc/integration directory to define the required resources
• config.xml in the etc/integration directory to define an integration

Step 3. Define the required resources

The file etc/integration/api.xml indicates which API resources the integration can access. Evaluate the permissions defined in each module’s etc/acl.xml file to identify which resources an integration needs access to. The test integration in the below example needs access to the essential resources in the Catalog and Sales modules:

<integration name="mp_Integration">
	<resources>
		<!-- To grant permission to Magento_Log::online, its parent Magento_Customer::customer needs to be declared as well--><resource name="Magento_Customer::customer" ?-->
		<!-- To grant permission to Magento_Sales::reorder, all its parent resources need to be declared-->
		<!-- to grant permission to Magento_Catalog::products, all its parent resources need to be declared -->

Step 4. Define the integration

In order to automatically pre-configure the integration with default values, your module has the option to include values in the configuration file. To enable this functionality, make the necessary updates to the config.xml file located in the etc/integration directory. [email protected]

Step 5. Install the module

Once you have completed the previous steps, run the familiar commands for installing the module. This will trigger the setup script to create an integration.

bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:clean

Now, go to Systems -> Extensions -> Integrations Click on the integration you need to see the result.
