Magento – How Can a product model get its eav Attribute in Magento 2

eavmagento2PHPresource-model

I added a custom field to product in admin panel named vendor_name
So I wanna get value of this field by do something like

$_product->getVendorName()

Like what I can do with non eav attribute (i.e $product->getSku())
But $_product->getVendorName() give me null value ,
What is the best solution to get attribute ? I wanna same syntax for both eav and None eav attribute.

In Store > Attributes > Product > YOUR ATTRIBUTE > Storefront Properties set Visible on Catalog Pages on Storefront and Used in Product Listing to TRUE.

In your code you can use:

<?php echo $this->helper('Magento\Catalog\Helper\Output')->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getYourAttribute(), 'your_attribute') ?>

<?php echo $_product->getYourAttribute() ?>

Magento – How to use extension attributes for customer EAV attributes

same issue on M2.1.8 community edition

magento logic ignore extension attribute data since it's not custom attribute, as result after populateWithArray() we lost extension attribute
if use xml join directive magento logic expects for the key wich built like

"extension_attribute_" + xml attribute code value + xml field value

but actually we have only key without prefixes

as test experiment if we hack vendor code with this key (add expected prefix) the logic starts work as needed, the customer is populated with needed data, interesting..

Magento 2 – Get and Check Data Attribute Value per Product

$value = $product->getData('expecdate'));
if ($value) {
    //print value here
}

Now depending on the attribute type you can display it in different ways.
if it's a text or textarea or int or decimal you can just echo it.
If it's dropdown attribute or multiselect you can display it like this

echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('expecdate')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);

if it's a date attribute you may need to format it:

if you are inside a template you can simply do

echo $block->formatData($value);

echo $block->formatDate($value, \IntlDateFormatter::LONG); //or MEDIUM, SHORT, FULL

if you don't want the time also printed and not just the date, pass the third parameter to the formatDate method true.
