How to show the drop down attribute value using getData() method in magento 2?

Question

When I try to get data from the material attribute like $_product->getData('material'), it shows the integer value. How can I convert it to the actual front-end value and in which file do I have to make the changes?.

Answer 1

Instead of getData() you need to use getAttributeText('attribute_code') for dropdown attributes. like

$_product->getAttributeText('material');

For multi-select try this :

$result = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('material')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);

Answer 2

To fetch value of attribute Use:

$this->getProduct()->getAttributeText('material');

Or

$this->getProduct()->getResource()->getAttributeRawValue($this->getProduct()->getId(),'material',$this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId());

Answer 3

You can get product attribute option values by below code

$_product->getAttributeText('material');

You can get multi select option values by

$_attributeValue = $block->getProduct()->getResource()->getAttribute('sizing_guidelines')->getFrontend()->getValue($block->getProduct());

Answer 4

$_product->getAttributeText('material');

is the right answer --- beware that $_product->getResource() is a deprecated function

Answer 5

The answers above were partially missing something (at least for my case, since I needed to use the custom attribute value inside the cart template), if you want to pass the custom attribute to a template proceed like this:

Create File catalog_attributes.xml inside /etc folder of any existing module

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Catalog:etc/catalog_attributes.xsd">
    <group name="quote_item">
     <attribute name="insert_here_your_attribute_code"/>
    </group>
</config>

and from inside the template, in case of attribute of type select

<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $product->getAttributeText('attribute_code') ?>

where

$product = $block->getItem()->getProduct()

$block in this case was \Magento\Checkout\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer

In case of attribute of type text instead

<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $product->getCustomAttribute('attribute_code')->getValue() ?>

after that just execute

bin/magento c:c

And you should see the value of the custom attribute in your cart page or any other template files.
