This is how to add an information field in customer page in magento 2 . we need to add a field in magento’s data table by add the file InstallData.php in folder Setup in module .
<?php
namespace Magepow\Customer\Setup;
use Magento\Customer\Model\Customer;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
class InstallData implements \Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface
{
private $eavSetupFactory;
private $eavConfig;
private $attributeResource;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory,
\Magento\Eav\Model\Config $eavConfig,
\Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Attribute $attributeResource
){
$this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
$this->eavConfig = $eavConfig;
$this->attributeResource = $attributeResource;
}
public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
$eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$eavSetup->removeAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, "new_customer_custom");
$attributeSetId = $eavSetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId(Customer::ENTITY);
$attributeGroupId = $eavSetup->getDefaultAttributeGroupId(Customer::ENTITY);
$eavSetup->addAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'new_customer_custom', [
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'New Custom',
'input' => 'text',
'required' => false,
'visible' => true,
'user_defined' => true,
'sort_order' => 990,
'position' => 990,
'system' => 0,
]);
$attribute =$this>eavConfig>getAttribute(Customer::ENTITY,'new_customer_custom');
$attribute->setData('attribute_set_id', $attributeSetId);
$attribute->setData('attribute_group_id', $attributeGroupId);
$attribute->setData('used_in_forms', [
'customer_account_create',
'customer_account_edit',
'adminhtml_customer'
]);
$this->attributeResource->save($attribute);
}
}Note: about the part used “used_in_forms” by calling you it may not show up in whatever case you want.
then create a file field_custom.phtml on module in Module\NameModule\view\templates
<field class="field new_customer_custom">
<label class="label" for="new_customer_custom">
<span>new Custom</span>
</label>
<div class="control">
<input type="hidden" name="new_customer_custom" id="new_customer_custom" value="" title="<?= $block->escapeHtmlAttr(__('New Custom')) ?>" class="input-text" data-validate="{required:false}">
</div>
</field>here we just need to add a field in customer create so we will create an invite to add a block in the layout create customer customer_account_create.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceContainer name="form.additional.info">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="form_additional_info_customer" template="field_custom.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>this is how to call the added attribute in customer
use Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface;
.....................
public function __construct(
CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepository
) {
$this->customerRepository = $customerRepository;
}
.................
public function getCustomer($customerId){
$customerData = $this->customerRepository->getById($customerId);
if($customerData->getCustomAttribute('new_customer_custom') != null){
$value = $customerData->getCustomAttribute('new_customer_custom')->getValue();
return $value;
}
}
