Copying fieldsets

Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn to copy custom data from a quote object to an order object using the Magento/Framework/DataObject/Copy class.

Step 1: Define your attributes

The following code defines a simple extension attribute named demo for the Cart and Order objects.

etc/extension_attributes.xml:

1

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Api/etc/extension_attributes.xsd">
  <extension_attributes for="Magento\Quote\Api\Data\CartInterface">
    <attribute code="demo" type="string" />
  </extension_attributes>
  <extension_attributes for="Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface">
      <attribute code="demo" type="string" />
  </extension_attributes>
</config>

Step 2: Configure the fieldset

The following code adds the demo field to the sales_convert_quote fieldset with the to_order aspect. The code snippet in the next step uses the name of the fieldset and aspect to specify which fields to copy.

etc/fieldset.xml:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:DataObject/etc/fieldset.xsd">
  <scope id="global">
    <fieldset id="sales_convert_quote">
      <field name="demo">
        <aspect name="to_order" />
      </field>
    </fieldset>
  </scope>
</config>

Step 3: Copy the fieldset

For copying the fieldset, we’ll observe the sales_model_service_quote_submit_before event by using the following code in our etc/events.xml:

1

3

5
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_before">
        <observer name="[vendor]_[module]_sales_model_service_quote_submit_before" instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\SaveOrderBeforeSalesModelQuoteObserver" />
    </event>
</config>

The following code snippets highlight the code pieces needed to copy a fieldset using the \Magento\Framework\DataObject\Copy class.

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class SaveOrderBeforeSalesModelQuoteObserver implements ObserverInterface
{
    ...

    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\DataObject\Copy
     */
    protected $objectCopyService;

    ...

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\DataObject\Copy $objectCopyService
     * ...
     */
    public function __construct(
      \Magento\Framework\DataObject\Copy $objectCopyService,
      ...
    ) {
        $this->objectCopyService = $objectCopyService;
        ...
    }

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer
     */
    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
      /* @var \Magento\Sales\Model\Order $order */
      $order = $observer->getEvent()->getData('order');
      /* @var \Magento\Quote\Model\Quote $quote */
      $quote = $observer->getEvent()->getData('quote');

      $this->objectCopyService->copyFieldsetToTarget('sales_convert_quote', 'to_order', $quote, $order);
      ...

      return $this;
    }
}

In the code, an instance of the Copy class is obtained from the constructor using dependency injection. The copyFieldsetToTarget function call with the $quote and $order parameters copies the fieldset for the two objects.

Step 4: Compile and cache clean

Compile the code with this command:

1
bin/magento setup:di:compile

and clean the cache with this command:

1
bin/magento cache:clean
