Download or Explore  code example in github

1 – Create custom attribute for category :
 A - For Magento 2.1 and higher

Go to your model and create Setup folder , inside it create file InstallData.php and push this full code :

  1.  
  2. <?php
  3. /**

  5.  * See COPYING.txt for license details.
  6.  */
  7. namespace Ibnab\CustomAttribute\Setup;
  8. use Magento\Framework\Module\Setup\Migration;
  9. use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
  10. use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
  11. use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
  12. use Magento\Catalog\Setup\CategorySetupFactory;
  13.  
  14. /**
  15.  * @codeCoverageIgnore
  16.  */
  17. class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
  18. {
  19.     /**
  20.      * Category setup factory
  21.      *
  22.      * @var CategorySetupFactory
  23.      */
  24.     private $categorySetupFactory;
  25.  
  26.     /**
  27.      * Init
  28.      *
  29.      * @param CategorySetupFactory $categorySetupFactory
  30.      */
  31.     public function __construct(CategorySetupFactory $categorySetupFactory)
  32.     {
  33.         $this->categorySetupFactory = $categorySetupFactory;
  34.     }
  35.     /**
  36.      * {@inheritdoc}
  37.      * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessiveMethodLength)
  38.      */
  39.     public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
  40.     {
  41.         $installer = $setup;
  42.          $installer->startSetup();
  43.  
  44.         $categorySetup = $this->categorySetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
  45.         $entityTypeId = $categorySetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY);
  46.         $attributeSetId = $categorySetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
  47.          $categorySetup->removeAttribute(
  48.         \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'my_attribute' );
  49.         $categorySetup->addAttribute(
  50.         \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'my_attribute', [
  51.              'type' => 'int',
  52.              'label' => 'My Atrribute ',
  53.              'input' => 'select',
  54.              'source' => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
  55.              'required' => false,
  56.              'sort_order' => 100,
  57.              'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
  58.              'group' => 'General Information',
  59.         ]
  60.     );
  61. $installer->endSetup();
  62.     }
  63. }
  64.  

After that you need add category_form.xml inside view/adminhtml/ui_component inside your module and push:

  1. </span>
  2. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  66.         'my_attribute',

  68.     );
  69. $installer->endSetup();
  70.     }
  71. }<br style="line-height: 13px;" />
  72. <span style="line-height:13px">

 

in this code we injected Magento\Catalog\Setup\CategorySetupFactory and get instance of category setup object with :

  1.  
  2.  $categorySetup = $this->categorySetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
  3.  

after that we get the entity type id and atrribute set id :

  1.  
  2. $entityTypeId = $categorySetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY);
  3. $attributeSetId = $categorySetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
  4.  

first we remove if exist :

  1.  
  2. $categorySetup->removeAttribute(
  3.         \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'my_attribute',
  4.     );
  5.  

the \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY is static variable from category model :

  1.  
  2. const ENTITY = 'catalog_category';
  3.  

and we add our custom attribute with type field select :
const ENTITY = 'catalog_category';

and we add our custom attribute with type field select :

  1.  
  2.         $categorySetup->addAttribute(
  3.         \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'my_attribute', [
  4.              'type' => 'int',
  5.              'label' => 'My Atrribute ',
  6.              'input' => 'select',
  7.              'source' => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
  8.              'required' => false,
  9.              'sort_order' => 100,
  10.              'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
  11.              'group' => 'General Information',
  12.         ]
  13.     );
  14.  

the source of select box content is 'source' => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean' .

You can get id of custom group id for example 'General Information' :

  1.  
  2. $idg =  $categorySetup->getAttributeGroupId($entityTypeId, $attributeSetId, 'General Information');
  3.  

and you can change or add the group of this attribute :

  1.  
  2.     $categorySetup->addAttributeToGroup(
  3.         $entityTypeId,
  4.         $attributeSetId,
  5.         $idg,
  6.         'my_attribute',
  7.         46
  8.     );
  9.  

2 – Create custom attribute for customer :

you can download the module CustomerCustomAtttributePut.zip from github  
More explain plz refer to serie Magento 2 Kill EAV For Customers :
http://www.ibnab.com/en/blog/magento-2/magento-2-kill-eav-for-customers-video-courses-part-1

 

with the same technique got to InstallData.php and push :

  1.  
  2. <?php
  3. namespace Ibnab\CustomerPut\Setup;
  4.  use Magento\Framework\Module\Setup\Migration;
  5. use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
  6. use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
  7. use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
  8. class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
  9. {
  10.     /**
  11.      * Customer setup factory
  12.      *
  13.      * @var \Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory
  14.      */
  15.     private $customerSetupFactory;
  16.     /**
  17.      * Init
  18.      *
  19.      * @param \Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory
  20.      */
  21.     public function __construct(\Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory)
  22.     {
  23.         $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;
  24.     }
  25.     /**
  26.      * Installs DB schema for a module
  27.      *
  28.      * @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup
  29.      * @param ModuleContextInterface $context
  30.      * @return void
  31.      */
  32.     public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
  33.     {
  34.  
  35.         $installer = $setup;
  36.         $installer->startSetup();
  37.         $customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
  38.         $entityTypeId = $customerSetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY);
  39.         $customerSetup->removeAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "my_attribute");
  40.  
  41.         $customerSetup->addAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "my_attribute",  array(
  42.             "type"     => "varchar",
  43.             "backend"  => "",
  44.             "label"    => "My Attribute",
  45.             "input"    => "text",
  46.             "source"   => "",
  47.             "visible"  => true,
  48.             "required" => true,
  49.             "default" => "",
  50.             "frontend" => "",
  51.             "unique"     => false,
  52.             "note"       => ""
  53.  
  54.         ));
  55.         $my_attribute   = $customerSetup->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "my_attribute");
  56.  
  57.         $my_attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, ' my_attribute');
  58.         $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_customer";
  59.         $used_in_forms[]="checkout_register";
  60.         $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_create";
  61.         $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_edit";
  62.         $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_checkout";
  63.         $my_attribute->setData("used_in_forms", $used_in_forms)
  64.             ->setData("is_used_for_customer_segment", true)
  65.             ->setData("is_system", 0)
  66.             ->setData("is_user_defined", 1)
  67.             ->setData("is_visible", 1)
  68.             ->setData("sort_order", 100);
  69.         $my_attribute->save();
  70.         $installer->endSetup();
  71.     }
  72. }
  73.  

here we added new code we get instance of attribute :

  1.  
  2.  $my_attribute   = $customerSetup->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "my_attribute");
  3.  

and we add to custom form as adminhtml_customer,checkout_register" :

  1.  
  2. $my_attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, ' my_attribute');
  3.         $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_customer";
  4.         $used_in_forms[]="checkout_register";
  5.         $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_create";
  6.         $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_edit";
  7.         $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_checkout";
  8.         $my_attribute->setData("used_in_forms", $used_in_forms)
  9.             ->setData("is_used_for_customer_segment", true)
  10.             ->setData("is_system", 0)
  11.             ->setData("is_user_defined", 1)
  12.             ->setData("is_visible", 1)
  13.             ->setData("sort_order", 100);
  14.  $my_attribute->save();
  15.  

 

2 – show custom attribute for customer :

after we added the custom attribute magento 2 show by defaut in in backend for $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_customer" , but in frontend you need some additional code to  use for example we want show in page customer register ($used_in_forms[]="customer_account_create"):

first inside your module go or create Ibnab/CustomerPut/view/frontend/layout and  create new handler xml customer_account_create.xml and push :

  1.  
  2. <?xml version="1.0"?>
  3. <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
  4.     <body>
  5.         <referenceContainer name="form.additional.info">
  6.             <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="my_form_additional_info_customer" template="Ibnab_CustomerPut::additionalinfocustomer.phtml"/>
  7.         </referenceContainer>
  8.     </body>
  9. </page>
  10.  

Now create .phtml inside Ibnab/CustomerPut/view/frontend/templates  (additionalinfocustomer.phtml) and push :

  1.  
  2.     <fieldset class="fieldset create account" data-hasrequired="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('* Required Fields') ?>">
  3.         <legend class="legend"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Additional Information') ?></span></legend><br></p>
  4.  
  5. <p>        <div class="field my_attribute required">
  6.             <label for="my_attribute" class="label"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('My Attribute') ?></span></label>
  7.             <div class="control">
  8.                 <input type="text" name="my_attribute" id="my_attribute" title="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('My Attribute') ?>" class="input-text" data-validate="{required:true}" autocomplete="off">
  9.             </div>
  10.         </div>
  11.         </div>
  12.     </fieldset>
  13.
