Accessing bound user contact details

If you need to access information about the currently logged-in user in PHP. It can be easily done by using UserService class that has methods to return the current user information including the linked CRM record (if available).

Once the bound contact is retrieved, WebApiClient class can be used to access additional information. Connection required for the toolkit to work properly is provided by the ConnectionService class.

use AlexaCRM\Nextgen\ConnectionService;
use AlexaCRM\Nextgen\UserService;
use AlexaCRM\Xrm\ColumnSet;
use AlexaCRM\Xrm\EntityReference;

$userService = UserService::instance();

if ($userService->isBound()){
    $contact = $userService->getBoundRecord();

    /** @var EntityReference $accountRef */
    $accountRef = $contact['parentcustomerid'];
    $account = ConnectionService::instance()->getClient()->Retrieve('account', $accountRef->Id, new ColumnSet(['accountnumber']));
    $accountNum = $account['accountnumber'];
}
