Get user by email or return null in cron

[blaz_p]

How can i get user by his email, or return null if not found? I need to do this in cron.

This code works

$CustomerModel = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface');

try {                            
    $customerExists = $CustomerModel->get($email);
} catch (Exception $e) {                            
    $customerExists = false;
}

But once I run it via cron, it returns an error that email is already in use, even when in try/catch block.

Any ideas?

Hello,

basically, when you run cron we need to check which store is used.

Let's an example you have a multiple site 

customer a: in website A, customer exist into A website

and default website is B

when you run cron, it will try to find into B website and it will find no any customer.

Hope it will help you.

Hello blaz_p

Kindly use below code

$url = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$storeManager = $url->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');


$websiteId = $storeManager->getWebsite()->getWebsiteId();
// Get Store ID
$store = $storeManager->getStore();
$storeId = $store->getStoreId();

$customerFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory');
$customer = $customerFactory->create();
$customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);

try {
    $customer->loadByEmail($customer_email);// load customer by email address
    $data= $customer->getData();
} catch (Exception $e) {                            
    $customerExists = false;
}

Hi @blaz_p

Do not use objectmanager directly. Use Factory Method instead of object manager is good practice.

protected $_customer;

public function __construct(
........
\Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory $customer,
........
)
{
........
$this->_customer = $customer;
........
}

public function execute()
{
$customer = $this->_customer->create();
$customer_details = $customer->setWebsiteId($website_id)->loadByEmail($customerEmail);
if($customer_details){
$customerExists = true;
//print_r($customer_details->getData()); //For print customer data
} else {
$customerExists = false;
}
}

May I ask why it is always recommended to not use object manager?

You can get Customer info by customer email easily.

You don't need to call Objectmanager direclty, instead use of DI injection,

Refer below blog for get data by email id,

https://www.rakeshjesadiya.com/how-to-get-customer-data-by-customer-email-in-magento-2/

In above blog pass your email id and get response as Customer data.
