How to create paragraphs item programmatically in D8?

$node = node_load(...); $entity = entity_create('paragraphs_item', array('field_name' => 'name_of_field_in_node', 'bundle' => 'name_of_paragraph_bundle')); $entity->setHostEntity('node', $node); $entity->save();

I was looking for a way to create a new node, and populate a multi-value Paragraphs field, and found this issue. I didn't find the solution, but finally figured it out so here it is:

$cars = [
  array("Volvo",22),
  array("BMW",15),
  array("Land Rover",17),
];
// print_r($cars);

foreach ($cars as $car) {
  $paragraph = Paragraph::create([
    'type' => 'para_item',
    'field_para_item_name' => $car[0],
    'field_para_item_number' => $car[1],
  ]);
  // Add the paragraphs to the parent entity's paragraphs field.
  $node->field_para->appendItem($paragraph);
  $paragraph->save();
}
$node->save();

Sorry to raise old issues but this keeps popping in Google. You should not include references to concrete classes ie. Paragraph but should use service injection:

\Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('paragraph')->create([ 'type' => 'param_item', ])
Same goes with Node.
