Today in the topic How to set and unset session in Magento 2 we’ll talk about how to set and unset the session ina quick way via running the code. With the custom Magento 2 Development and customization, it is sometimes very necessary to get the session information. Learning about the sessions to adjust them anytime to acquire important information within a certain amount of time is necessary for Magento 2 store admins.
So what is a session in Magento 2?
A session is a way of sorting and storing variables on every page of Magento 2 stores. It allows your users to temporarily store some values on your store such as items in the shopping carts, personal information, etc.
When a user registers an account in your store, the session allows you to store their information like first name, last name, or ID. Then, by setting a custom session variable in Magento 2, you can store more additional information.
Now, let’s take a look at a list of session types in Magento 2:
vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Session.php
vendor/magento/module-newsletter/Model/Session.php
vendor/magento/module-persistent/Model/Session.php
vendor/magento/framework/Message/Session.php
vendor/magento/module-customer/Model/Session.php
vendor/magento/module-backend/Model/Session.php
vendor/magento/module-checkout/Model/Session.php
Check out the below method to set or unset a session in Magento 2 anytime you want easily and quickly.
Now, you will start calling Catalog, Customer, and Checkout sessions through the following code.
<?php
namespace Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
protected $_catalogSession;
protected $_customerSession;
protected $_checkoutSession;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Session $catalogSession,
\Magento\Customer\Model\Session $customerSession,
\Magento\Checkout\Model\Session $checkoutSession,
array $data = []
)
{
$this->_catalogSession = $catalogSession;
$this->_checkoutSession = $checkoutSession;
$this->_customerSession = $customerSession;
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
public function _prepareLayout()
{
return parent::_prepareLayout();
}
public function getCatalogSession()
{
return $this->_catalogSession;
}
public function getCustomerSession()
{
return $this->_customerSession;
}
public function getCheckoutSession()
{
return $this->_checkoutSession;
}
}
?>
Then, with Catalog, Customer, and Checkout sessions, it is possible to set them from .phtml file.
$block->getCatalogSession()->setMyName('Mageplaza');
echo $block->getCatalogSession()->getMyName() . '<br />'; // output: Mageplaza
$block->getCheckoutSession()->setTestData('Hello World');
echo $block->getCheckoutSession()->getTestData() . '<br />'; // output: Hello World
$block->getCheckoutSession()->setTestHello('Test Hello Value');
echo $block->getCheckoutSession()->getTestHello() . '<br />'; // output: Test Hello Value
In case you want to unset those sessions, let do as the following:
$block->getCatalogSession()->unsMyName();
$block->getCheckoutSession()->unsTestData();
$block->getCustomerSession()->unsTestHello();
Specifically, Customer session allows collecting the customer information like customer name and email.
// get customer data
if ($block->getCustomerSession()->isLoggedIn()) {
$customerId = $block->getCustomerSession()->getCustomerId();
$customerData = $block->getCustomerSession()->getCustomer();
echo $customerId . '<br />';
echo $customerData->getFirstname() . ' ' . $customerData->getLastname() . '<br />';
echo $customerData->getEmail() . '<br />';
print_r($block->getCustomerSession()->getCustomer()->getData());
}
Checkout session will show the quote information.
// get checkout session data
echo $block->getCheckoutSession()->getQuoteId();
print_r($block->getCheckoutSession()->getQuote()->getData());
