Events

Events should be used to perform actions related to customer groups.

The CustomerGroup\Event\CustomerGroupEvents class contains event name constants for this module. Event classes are also in the CustomerGroup\Event namespace.

Add a customer to a group

$event = new AddCustomerToCustomerGroupEvent();
$event->setCustomerId($myCustomer->getId());
$event->setCustomerGroupId($myGroup->getId());

$dispatcher->dispatch(
    CustomerGroupEvents::ADD_CUSTOMER_TO_CUSTOMER_GROUP,
    $event
);

Handler

The customer_group.handler service provide functions to check if a customer belongs to a group. See the CustomerGroupHandler class for available methods.

Get handler (service)

$groupHandler = $container->get("customer_group.handler");

Get session customer's customerGroup info

// get customerGroup of the current customer (session)
$groupHandler->getGroup();
// get customerGroup code of the current customer (session)
$groupHandler->checkGroupCode();

Check if a customer belongs to a group

// check a customer
$groupHandler->checkCustomerHasGroup($myCustomer, "vip");

// check the customer currently logged-in
$groupHandler->checkGroup("vip");

Query

CustomerQuery

This module provides a CustomerQuery class that extends the base Thelia query and provides methods to filter customers by group.

It can be used in replacement of the base CustomerQuery.

use CustomerGroup\Model\CustomerQuery as CustomerGroupCustomerQuery;

$customers = CustomerGroupCustomerQuery::create()
    ->filterByCustomerGroup("myGroup")
    ->find();

Or mixed in your own query class by using the static methods. These methods take a ModelCriteria query class and will act on it.

They assume that the customer table is already present in the query scope, so your query must for exemple extends CustomerQuery or make a join to the customer table.

use CustomerGroup\Model\CustomerQuery as CustomerGroupCustomerQuery;

// MyQuery extends CustomerQuery
// or MyQuery has a join to the customer table somewhere
$myQuery = MyQuery::create();

CustomerGroupCustomerQuery::addCustomerGroupFilter($myQuery, "myGroup");
