Expert Solution to Get Current Order Status And New Order Status in Magento 2

Magento 2 is an insanely flexible platform that allows us, developers, to satisfy the crazy clients’ requirements!

Isn’t it? 😆

I recently faced a similar situation where the client wanted to perform a specific action when the order status is changed. To do so, I had to get current order status and new order status in Magento 2.

In this blog, I have posted that solution straightaway for the developers to save themselves from what I went through for the solution.

You can use the below code to implement, for example, a feature where a popup displays when the order state is changed from placed to processing saying that you can use this coupon code, or a feature to calculate and return tax amount when an order is placed and completed.

Get the previous and next order status in Magento 2 to perform any action when the order status is changed, using the following code:

Steps to get current order status and new order status in Magento 2:

1. Create di.xml file at app/code/Vendor/Extension/etc/ folder
   
   <type name="Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order">     <plugin name="order_state_plugin" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\OrderPlugin"/> </type>

   <type name="Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order">     <plugin name="order_state_plugin" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\OrderPlugin"/> </type>

2. Create OrderPlugin.php file at app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/
   
   <?php namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin; use Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order; class OrderPlugin {    public function afterSave(       Order $subject,       $result, $object    ) {       $oldData = $object->getOrigData('status');       $newData = $object->getData('status');       \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info(print_r("Old Data = $oldData",true));       \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info(print_r("New Data = $newData",true));    } }

   <?php   namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin; use Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order; class OrderPlugin {    public function afterSave(       Order $subject,       $result, $object    ) {       $oldData = $object->getOrigData('status');       $newData = $object->getData('status');       \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info(print_r("Old Data = $oldData",true));       \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info(print_r("New Data = $newData",true));    } }

That’s it.
