Magento provides so many default fields but If we need custom information in customer address then we can create a new customer_address type attribute.
In this article, I will share how we can add text type attribute in Customer Address,
You need to create InstallData.php file in your existing module or you can create a new module as well as,
If you are creating in your existing module: app/code/[Vendor Name]/[Module Name]/Setup/InstallData.php
<?php
namespace [Vendor Name]/[Module Name]Setup;
use MagentoCustomerSetupCustomerSetupFactory;
use MagentoEavModelEntityAttributeSet as AttributeSet;
use MagentoEavModelEntityAttributeSetFactory as AttributeSetFactory;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupInstallDataInterface;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleContextInterface;
use MagentoFrameworkSetupModuleDataSetupInterface;
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
/**
* @var CustomerSetupFactory
*/
private $customersetupFactory;
/**
* @var AttributeSetFactory
*/
private $attributesetFactory;
/**
* @param CustomerSetupFactory $customersetupFactory
* @param AttributeSetFactory $attributesetFactory
*/
public function __construct(
CustomerSetupFactory $customersetupFactory,
AttributeSetFactory $attributesetFactory
) {
$this->customersetupFactory = $customersetupFactory;
$this->attributesetFactory = $attributesetFactory;
}
public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
$customerSetup = $this->customersetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$customerEntity = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getEntityType('customer');
$attributeSetId = $customerEntity->getDefaultAttributeSetId();
$attributeSet = $this->attributesetFactory->create();
$attributeGroupId = $attributeSet->getDefaultGroupId($attributeSetId);
$customerSetup->addAttribute('customer_address', 'job_title', [
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Job Title',
'input' => 'text', //You can change your input type as per your requirement
'required' => false, //If You need this field is required in customer address area then you can just set "true" in stand of "false"
'visible' => true,
'user_defined' => true,
'sort_order' => 1000,
'position' => 1000,
'system' => 0,
]);
$attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute('customer_address', 'job_title')
->addData([
'attribute_set_id' => $attributeSetId,
'attribute_group_id' => $attributeGroupId,
'used_in_forms' => ['adminhtml_customer_address'], //Other list of forms: customer_address_edit, customer_register_address where you want to display the custom attribute
]);
$attribute->save();
}
}
After creating the above file you have to run below commands:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento cache:clean
Now you can check in the customer section in the admin area.
Our newly created attribute shown in the customer address form.
