• Mohammad Mujassam: Seeion id you mean customer token or PHP SESSION id ?
• Nilesh Thote: yes @MohammadMujassam, I want to add customer token in response data.
• Mohammad Mujassam: You can write plugin for this method to append the token Magento\Customer\Model\AccountManagement::createAccountWithPasswordHash(), And to generate the token refer this magento.stackexchange.com/questions/175480/…
• Nilesh Thote: @MohammadMujassam, can you please tell me from which file we get response data?
• Mohammad Mujassam: Magento\Customer\Model\AccountManagement this is model where buisness logic is there and Magento\Customr\Api\AccountManagementInterface this is interface. You can refer the Answer given by Ramkishan and accept the answer if that works.

Answer 1

Create a afterCreateAccount plugin of AccountManagementInterface. You need to create a new customer attribute as well. Your plugin code will look like below.

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin;
class AddAccessToken
{
 public function __construct(
 \Magento\Integration\Model\Oauth\TokenFactory $tokenModelFactory,
 \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerExtensionFactory $customerExtensionFactory
 ) {
 $this->tokenModelFactory = $tokenModelFactory;
 $this->customerExtensionFactory = $customerExtensionFactory
 }
 /**
 * Add token to customer object
 *
 * @param \Magento\Customr\Api\AccountManagementInterface $subject,
 * @param \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface $customer
 * @return \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface
 */
 public function afterCreateAccount(
 \Magento\Customr\Api\AccountManagementInterface $subject,
 \Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface $customer
 ) {
 $token = $this->tokenModelFactory->create()->createCustomerToken($customer->getId());
 $extensionAttributes = $customer->getExtensionAttributes();
 if($extensionAttributes === null) {
 $extensionAttributes = $this->customerExtensionFactory->create();
 }
 $extensionAttributes->setToken($token);
 $customer->setExtensionAttributes($extensionAttributes);
 return $customer;
 }
}

di.xml

<type name="Magento\Customr\Api\AccountManagementInterface">
 <plugin name="add_access_token" type="Vendot\Module\Plugin\AddAccessToken"/>
</type>

extension_attributes.xml

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Api/etc/extension_attributes.xsd">
<extension_attributes for="Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface">
 <attribute code="token" type="string" />
</extension_attributes>
</config>

Go into module.xml file and update setup_version to 1.0.1 and run setup:upgrade command. Let me know if any more help needed.

• Ramkishan Suthar: Did it work for you @Nilesh
• Nilesh Thote: can you tell me how to add customer attribute and in which file?
• Ramkishan Suthar: Please check updated answer.
• Nilesh Thote: I have added eav attribute token as per your steps but getting following error : Fatal Error: 'Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Magento\\Customer\\Model\\Data\\Customer::setToken() in /app/code/Vendor/Module/Plugin/AddAccessToken.php:26
• Ramkishan Suthar: What error, I hope you are aware about setup scripts. if you are not then I would like to let you know that InstallData only runs when your module is installed first time. If you want to run this for already installed module then run this script in UpgradeData.php
