In this tutorial, we will see how to create a custom root script in our Magento 2 and use it to perform Magento 2 specific operations.
For this create a file inside the Magento root directory with some unique name based on the activity you are going to perform, suppose you want to get a customer’s email by id then name it like getCustomerEmailById.php
You can use Object Manager in the custom script to get objects of specific classes.
Here is an example of a custom root script, which is used to fetch customer email from a given customer ID.
Example :
<?php
//to display errors
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('memory_limit', '5G');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
//use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
require 'app/bootstrap.php';
$bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
// Instance of object manager
$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
// Set the state
$state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
$state->setAreaCode('frontend');
/* Example to get customer by ID */
$id = 1; //customer id
$customerRepository = $objectManager->get('Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface');
$customer = $customerRepository->getById($id);
if ($customer) {
echo "Customer Email : ".$customer->getEmail();
} else {
echo "customer doesn't exists!";
}After creating this file, Now you can call it using PHP in the terminal by specifying the file name as below.
php getCustomerEmailById.phpIt will print customer email if exists.
