As you can see, it is quite easy to get or set billing or shipping address by customer object. In this sample code we need to inject customer factory to get a customer object and address factory get an address by its id. You can easily get default billing or shipping address id from a customer by calling its getDefaultBilling() or getDefaultShipping() functions. You can change or only get address data and if needed save it back to database.
Create new address
If you want to create a new address for a customer and set it as default shipping or billing address, you only need to create a new address object from factory:
1 | $address = $this->_addressFactory->create(); |
An set its data. Depending on its type you need to set it as default shipping or default billing. You can also set both, so that a customer has only one address:
1 2 3 4 | if($type == "shipping") $address->setIsDefaultShipping('1'); if($type == "billing") $address->setIsDefaultBilling('1'); |
Conclusion
In this small post I showed you how to set or get default billing and shipping address from a customer by code. If you are working on an import, you may need this code. You can manipulate customer address data easily. Injected factories are an easy way to use Magento 2 models and this method is much better than getting it from object manager.
