How to create product name dynamically?

Question

My product names are created by different values, that are stored in several custom modules. In my list.phtml I create the dynamic product names, that's no problem. But as I want, that the product names are available on all pages (search, list, checkout), I am looking for a possibility to create the product names already within the product collection. What I mean is, when the function getName() is called, the dynamic product name is given as result.

Thx, Christian

To create dynamic names of product, You can create plugin which will alter/modify original product name dynamically.

create a simple module say Pawan_SamplePlugin

app/code/Pawan/SamplePlugin/registration.php

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Pawan_SamplePlugin',
    __DIR__
);

app/code/Pawan/SamplePlugin/etc/module.xml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
        <module name="Pawan_SamplePlugin" setup_version="1.0.0" />
    </config>

app/code/Pawan/SamplePlugin/etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Catalog\Model\Product">
      <plugin name="DynamicSetName" type="Pawan\SamplePlugin\Plugin\ProductName" disabled="false" />
    </type>
</config>

app/code/Pawan/SamplePlugin/Plugin/ProductName.php

<?php

namespace Pawan\SamplePlugin\Plugin;

class ProductName
{
    public function afterGetName(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $subject, $result)
    {
        return '|@@' . $result . '|##';
    }
}

You can Update afterGetName as per your requirement and update product name accordingly.

Hope above will help!
