How to get product url with category key on home page

Answer 1

If you have a product collection, you will need to specify a category for each product in the collection.

If you are using a category collection the category from the collection will be used.

The product you are generating a URL for will need to know which category it should include in the url, which is why if you just load the product without mentioning a category, you will not return any category in the path even if you adjust the admin settings like others have recommended.

Some psuedo code to get you started:

// Taken from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18300258/magento-getproducturl-does-not-include-category-path

$product->setCategoryId($categoryId)->getProductUrl();

Answer 2

go to Store -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Catalog -> Search Engine Optimization -> "Use Categories Path for Product URLs" set to "Yes"

After that Reindex using php bin/magento indexer:reindex

I used the below code today for a similar thing

public function __construct(
        ...   
             \Magento\Framework\Registry $registry,
                \Magento\Catalog\Api\CategoryRepositoryInterface $categoryRepository,
                \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager
        ...
            ) {
        ...
        $this->storeManager = $storeManager;
        $this->registry = $registry;
        $this->categoryRepository = $categoryRepository;
        ...
    }

...
$categoryIds = $product->getCategoryIds();
    if (!$categoryIds) {
        return null;
    }
    $category = $this->categoryRepository->get($categoryIds[0], $this->storeManager->getStore()->getId());
    $this->registry->register('current_category',$category);
    $redirectionUrl =     $product->getProductUrl();
...

I did this by using following code

<?php $_objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); ?>
                        <?php     $cats = $_item->getCategoryIds();
                                if(count($cats) ){

                                    if($cats[0]==2){
                                        $firstCategoryId = $cats[1];
                                    }
                                    else{
                                          $firstCategoryId = $cats[0];
                                    }

                            $_category = $_objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Category')->load($firstCategoryId);
                            $categorykey = $_category->getUrlKey();
                            $siteurl= $block->getUrl('*/*/*', ['_current' => true, '_use_rewrite' => true]);      
                            $pro_url=$siteurl.$categorykey."/".$_item->getUrlKey().".html";
                            }
                            else{
                                $pro_url=$block->getProductUrl($_item);
                            }
                     ?>
