woocommerce功能以编程方式创建产品

Question

I need to create a product manually from php script (e.g. i'm developing a custom front-end form to insert products)

Googling i see some support forum create manually a post (using wp_insert_post function). I think this solution is not reliable (with a woocommerce update things may changes).

I need a wc function that does it for me, a sort of wc_create_product (like wc_create_order function).

I've found WC_API_Products::create_product() seems to be what i need but on the web i could not find any additional documentation or usage example except the code comment. Additionally this function is not listed on woocommerce official api doc at https://docs.woothemes.com/wc-apidocs/.

I need to know if this function is thought for internal use or maybe for external developer like me.

Does anyone have some information about it?

thanks

In Woocommerce, products are represented by objects of the class WC_Product which is documented here.

The documentation dicourages us from using the constructor explicitly, however, this works. We can create products by calling the constructor and then add properties.

$product = new WC_Product();
$product->set_name('My Product')
