How to convert this object data into array?

Question

I have this Data Object value.

Magento\Customer\Model\Data\AttributeMetadata Object
(
 [_data:protected] => Array
 (
 [frontend_input] => boolean
 [input_filter] => 
 [store_label] => Verified Buyer
 [validation_rules] => Array
 (
 )
 [multiline_count] => 0
 [visible] => 1
 [required] => 
 [data_model] => 
 [options] => Array
 (
 )
 [frontend_class] => 
 [user_defined] => 1
 [sort_order] => 90
 [frontend_label] => Verified Buyer
 [note] => 
 [system] => 
 [backend_type] => int
 [is_used_in_grid] => 
 [is_visible_in_grid] => 
 [is_filterable_in_grid] => 
 [is_searchable_in_grid] => 
 [attribute_code] => verified_buyer
 )
)

I converted this to

$array = (array) $customAttr;

But still I am reciving the object

Array
(
 [*_data] => Array
 (
 [frontend_input] => boolean
 [input_filter] => 
 [store_label] => Verified Buyer
 [validation_rules] => Array
 (
 )
 [multiline_count] => 0
 [visible] => 1
 [required] => 
 [data_model] => 
 [options] => Array
 (
 )
 [frontend_class] => 
 [user_defined] => 1
 [sort_order] => 90
 [frontend_label] => Verified Buyer
 [note] => 
 [system] => 
 [backend_type] => int
 [is_used_in_grid] => 
 [is_visible_in_grid] => 
 [is_filterable_in_grid] => 
 [is_searchable_in_grid] => 
 [attribute_code] => verified_buyer
 )
)

I am expecting output like

Array
(
 [frontend_input] => boolean
 [input_filter] => 
 [store_label] => Verified Buyer
 [validation_rules] => Array
 (
 )
 [multiline_count] => 0
 [visible] => 1
 [required] => 
 [data_model] => 
 [options] => Array
 (
 )
 [frontend_class] => 
 [user_defined] => 1
 [sort_order] => 90
 [frontend_label] => Verified Buyer
 [note] => 
 [system] => 
 [backend_type] => int
 [is_used_in_grid] => 
 [is_visible_in_grid] => 
 [is_filterable_in_grid] => 
 [is_searchable_in_grid] => 
 [attribute_code] => verified_buyer
)

Above all is Magento Customer custom attributes data.

Note : I am using REST API

Answer 1

You can use the method toArray().

\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer $customer;
$customer->toArray();

• Gabriel Fernandes: Have an error log?
• Aditya Shah: Thanks for the efforts +1

Answer 2

The simple way you can do it via php function json_encode and json_decode.

$object = 'your_object_variable'
$myArray = json_decode(json_encode($object), true);
print_r($myarray);

• Franck Garnier: Does it works ?

Answer 3

Try like this one:

$data = $this->dataObjectConverter->toFlatArray($Customer, [], \Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::class);
