Return address record when saving an address instead of true or false

[aloco]

Hi,

we have a custom controller which provides an action to save various user data, e.g. user first name, last name, and address data. We are returning JSON Data with the updated or created user data. We are using saveAddress of the Address Service, however, this method returns true or false instead of the address record which makes it very difficult for us to work with. Is there a way to store an address and retrieving at least the address id on success? Not sure how to use EVENT_AFTER_SAVE_ADDRESS to include the new address in the JSON Response of the Controller..

Thank you for your help!

All save methods in Craft and Craft Commerce services return true and false only at the moment.

What would you like returned? You still have reference to the address model that you passed to saveAddress($address) and if it was saved, it will have the new record ID added to it.

Hi Luke,

thank you for your reply, you are right we can receive the record id from the Model - wasn´t aware of this
