Add custom fields that influence other checkout fields

This topic describes how to add a custom field that influences other fields on the checkout page.

Let's consider a case where you need to add a checkbox whose state (selected or cleared) changes the state of other fields: when the checkbox is selected, the Shipping Address fields get prepopulated with a certain address.

To implement such a checkbox, take the following steps:

1. Create a plugin for the process method of the <Magento_Checkout_module_dir>/Block/Checkout/LayoutProcessor.php class.
2. Declare the plugin in your module's di.xml.
3. Create a JS component for the checkbox with custom logic.

Step 1: Create a plugin for the LayoutProcessor's process method

In your custom module directory, create the following new file: <your_module_dir>/Block/Checkout/SomeProcessor.php. In this file, add the following code sample. This is a plugin that adds a checkbox, makes the street labels trackable, and assigns dependencies to the checkbox.

Copy
namespace Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout;

class SomeProcessor
{
    /**
     * Checkout LayoutProcessor after process plugin.
     *
     * @param \Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor $processor
     * @param array $jsLayout
     * @return array
     */
    public function afterProcess(\Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor $processor, $jsLayout)
    {
        $shippingConfiguration = &$jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['shipping-step']
            ['children']['shippingAddress']['children']['shipping-address-fieldset']['children'];
        $billingConfiguration = &$jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['billing-step']
        ['children']['payment']['children']['payments-list']['children'];

        //Checks if shipping step available.
        if (isset($shippingConfiguration)) {
            $shippingConfiguration = $this->processAddress(
                $shippingConfiguration,
                'shippingAddress',
                [
                    'checkoutProvider',
                    'checkout.steps.shipping-step.shippingAddress.shipping-address-fieldset.street',
                    'checkout.steps.shipping-step.shippingAddress.shipping-address-fieldset.city',
                    'checkout.steps.shipping-step.shippingAddress.shipping-address-fieldset.country_id'
                ]
            );
        }

        //Checks if billing step available.
        if (isset($billingConfiguration)) {
            //Iterate over billing forms.
            foreach($billingConfiguration as $key => &$billingForm) {
                //Exclude not billing forms
                if (!strpos($key, '-form')) {
                    continue;
                }

                $billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children'] = $this->processAddress(
                    $billingForm['children']['form-fields']['children'],
                    $billingForm['dataScopePrefix'],
                    [

For more information on creating plugins, see Plugins (Interceptors).

Step 2: Declare plugin in di.xml

In <your_module_dir>/etc/frontend/di.xml, declare the plugin you created on the previous step. The plugin name is arbitrary, in our example it's ProcessAddressConfiguration:

Copy
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor">
        <plugin name="ProcessAddressConfiguration" type="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\SomeProcessor"/>
    </type>
</config>
Copied to your clipboard
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor">
        <plugin name="ProcessAddressConfiguration" type="Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\SomeProcessor"/>
    </type>
</config>

Step 3: Create a JS component for the checkbox

In your custom module directory, create the following new file: <your_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/js/single-checkbox.js. In this file, add the following code. This is a JS component that extends Magento_Ui/js/form/element/single-checkbox.js. The onCheckedChanged method calls the methods that update street labels, change the city and country values, and disable these fields:

Copy
define([
    'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/single-checkbox',
    'mage/translate'
], function (AbstractField, $t) {
    'use strict';

    return AbstractField.extend({
        defaults: {
            streetLabels: [$t('Company / Section / Unit'), $t('Post Sector Type'), $t('Post Sector')],
            modules: {
                street: '${ $.parentName }.street',
                city: '${ $.parentName }.city',
                country: '${ $.parentName }.country_id'
            }
        },

        updateStreetLabels: function () {
            if (this.value()) {
                this.street().elems.each(function (street, key) {
                    this.street().elems()[key].set('label', this.streetLabels[key]);
                }.bind(this));
            } else {
                this.street().elems.each(function (street, key) {
                    this.street().elems()[key].set('label', '');
                }.bind(this));
            }
        },

        updateCity: function () {
            if (this.value()) {
                this.city().value('Kyiv');
                this.city().disabled(true);
            } else {
                this.city().value('');
                this.city().disabled(false);
            }
        },

        updateCountry: function () {
            if (this.value()) {
                this.country().value('UA');
                this.country().disabled(true);
            } else {
                this.country().value('');
                this.country().disabled(false);
            }
        },

        onCheckedChanged: function () {
            this._super();
            this.updateStreetLabels();
            this.updateCity();
            this.updateCountry();
        }
    });
});
Copied to your clipboard
define([
    'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/single-checkbox',
    'mage/translate'

    return AbstractField.extend({
        defaults: {

                country: '${ $.parentName }.country_id'
            }
        },

        updateStreetLabels: function () {
            if (this.value()) {
                this.street().elems.each(function (street, key) {
                    this.street().elems()[key].set('label', this.streetLabels[key]);
                }.bind(this));
            } else {
                this.street().elems.each(function (street, key) {

                this.city().value('');
                this.city().disabled(false);
            }
        },

        updateCountry: function () {
            if (this.value()) {
                this.country().value('UA');
                this.country().disabled(true);
            } else {
                this.country().value('');
                this.country().disabled(false);
            }
        },

        onCheckedChanged: function () {
            this._super();
            this.updateStreetLabels();
            this.updateCity();
            this.updateCountry();
        }
    });
});

Step 4: Compile and deploy the static content

   Copied to your clipboard
   bin/magento setup:di:compile

2. Deploy static content:

   Copy
