The standard Magento library module

This module contains a variety of classes to help deal with logic that is needed on the majority of Magento projects. It contains logic that can be re-used to cut down on boilerplate from project to project.

Usage

Helper

AbstractSystemHelper

An abstract helper exists for dealing with system configuration values in your custom module(s). This class should be extended with a custom class per module that provides methods to access that module's configuration values. An example class can be found at /docs/examples/Helper/SystemHelper.php.

ProductAttributeHelper

This helper provides a number of methods for getting the values and/or text of attributes for a specified product.

getAttributeRawValue()

Given a product ID and attribute code (and optional store scope), this will return the raw attribute value(s) for that attribute of that product. It returns this value as a string if it exists; otherwise, it returns null.

getAttributeRawValueAsArray()

Works the same as getAttributeRawValue(), but returns an array instead of a string if the value(s) is found; otherwise, it still returns null. This can be useful when working with an attribute that may have multiple values, like multi-selects.

getAttributeText()

Get the text value(s) rather than the raw value(s). This method will call getAttributeRawValue(). If that returns a value(s), this will return the text of that value(s) as a string; otherwise, it returns null.

getAttributeTextAsArray()

Works the same as getAttributeText(), but returns an array instead of a string.
