I am working on duplicate category, In my controller file, I am able to duplicate the category but I need to assign the same products to the newly created category from the old one.

i.e.
I have the category name "Abc" has 10 products and 2 of them are In-stock / out of stock / disable, now I duplicate the category with and the new name is "Xyz". I want to assign all 10 products into "Xyz".

How could I achieve this functionality?

class DuplicateCategory extends MagentoBackendAppAction 
protected $_categoryFactory; 
public function __construct(
 MagentoBackendAppActionContext $context,
 MagentoCatalogModelCategoryFactory $categoryFactory
) 
 parent::__construct($context);
 $this->_categoryFactory = $categoryFactory;


$parentCategoryObj = $this->_categoryFactory->create()->load(2);
$duplicateCategoryObj = $this->_categoryFactory->create()->load(8);
$catagoryObject = $this->_categoryFactory->create();

$categoryName = $duplicateCategoryObj->getName();
$categoryUrlKey = strtolower($this->getCategoryUrlKey($categoryName));

$catagoryObject->setPath($parentCategoryObj->getPath())
 ->setParentId($parentCategory)
 ->setName($duplicateCategoryObj->getName())
 ->setUrlKey($categoryUrlKey)
 ->setStoreId($storeId)
 ->setIsActive(true);
$catagoryObject->save();

When possible I would try to use APIs for interacting with the Magento core.

Consider using:

use MagentoCatalogApiCategoryRepositoryInterface;
use MagentoCatalogApiDataCategoryInterfaceFactory;
use MagentoCatalogApiCategoryLinkManagementInterface;
use MagentoCatalogApiDataCategoryInterfaceFactory;
use MagentoCatalogApiProductRepositoryInterface

The duplicate product assignment might look something like

$categoryProductLinks = $this->categoryLinkManagement
 ->getAssignedProducts($sourceCategory->getId());

/** @var MagentoCatalogApiDataCategoryProductLinkInterface $categoryProductLink */
foreach ($categoryProductLinks as $categoryProductLink) 
 $product = $this->productRepository->get($categoryProductLink->getSku());
 $categoryIds = $product->getCategoryIds();
 array_push($categoryIds, $newCategory->getId());
 $this->categoryLinkManagement
 ->assignProductToCategories($product->getSku(), $categoryIds);

Note:

• Above is just an example of an idea and not tested code.


• While
  productRepository->get returns
  MagentoCatalogApiDataProductInterface the underlying object
  MagentoCatalogModelProduct has getCategoryIds()
