You should initialize $this->eventManager in the constructor

$this->eventManager->dispatch('store_add', ['store' => $store]);

seems to throw and exception [LogicException] There is no such indexer handler: in CE 2.1.7

Hi, i'm trying to implement this. Where do you put it ? Ideally i need to make in in custom module, so i already have a custom page with block and controller. Can i use this in block ?

I'm starting my new steps in M2 world and I'm starting with your code...
Well done phuong ;)

@rev42 , you right ! thanks, i'm going to modify this file

@jclecas : You are welcome ! Have fun on M2 ;)

@Nundra Hmm yeah you can use your custom module, but i think it could be better to make another custom module called "core" maybe?
Put this code in your module only if it makes sense :)

https://gist.github.com/SpencerRohan/839933a564bbecfc6949af71dd1b1dfe Modified it a bit for multiple entry, does not include Root Category ID. Great snippet!

This line :
$this->eventManager->dispatch('store_add', ['store' => $store]);
Is it necessary with version magneto 2.4 ?
It seems to have been fixed. When running command-line bin/magento setup:upgrade, I always received an error: " Original exception message: DDL statements are not allowed in transactions"

@ngtuan96lc thanks, I tried and it's working even without event manager.

This piece of code has been created when I worked on Magento 2.0 back in the days :) . Fortunately, you do not need it anymore on the latest versions

Correctly!
