Developing Hook managing mailadresses of contacts

[Scarecrow]

Hey there,

First of all to emillod thank you for your tutorials. They are really great
At the moment I'm working on my own BeforeSafeHook after sucessfull working my way throug the corresponding Hook tutorial.

What I want do is managing Mailadresses and Phonenumbers of Contacts according to a specific set of rules.
But when I run

$entity->get('emailAddresses'); 

it returns only the id's of the Mailadresses linked to the contact and no further details even though those details are listed in the Fields Part.

Here the returned data converted into a string by converting it into an Array and using json_decode afterwards:

[
{
"id":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", // <- here is a valid emailadress-id linked to the contact that is saved. 
"fields":
{"id":
{"dbType":"varchar",
"len":24,
"type":"id"},
"name":
{"type":"varchar",
"fieldType":"varchar",
"len":255},
"deleted":
{"type":"bool",
"default":false},
"lower":
{"type":"varchar",
"index":true,
"fieldType":"varchar",
"len":255},
"invalid":
{"type":"bool",
"notNull":true,
"fieldType":"bool",
"default":false},
"optOut":
{"type":"bool",
"notNull":true,
"fieldType":"bool",
"default":false},
"primary":
{"type":"bool",
"notNull":true,
"notStorable":true,
"fieldType":"bool",
"default":false}
}
}, ........ // <- Next id followed by the Fields list until all linked mailadresses are listed with the id. 

is there a way to get the values of the other fields? At least i need the mailadress ("lower" or "name") and the bool for primary.

Thank you for your help in Advance

Best wishes

Scarecrow



Here the full code used for the Hook at the Moment:

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Contact;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;
use Espo\ORM\EntityManager;

function object_to_array($data)
{
    if (is_array($data) || is_object($data))
    {
        $result = [];
        foreach ($data as $key => $value)
    {
        if (is_array($value) || is_object($value))
    {
        $result[$key] = object_to_array($value);
    } else
    {
        $result[$key] = $value;
    }
    }
        return $result;
    }
    return $data;
}


class ManageMailAdress
{
    protected $entityManager;
    public function __construct(EntityManager $entityManager)
    {
        $this->entityManager = $entityManager;
    }

    public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options, array $data): void
    {
        $mail = $entity->get('emailAddresses');
        $mail = json_encode(object_to_array($mail));
        $entity->set('description', $mail);
    }
}

Scarecrow thanks for kind words!
Did you thought about using emailAddressData param?
