customermagento-2.1magento2

What is the best way to load Customer by Id? using customer interface or customer factory or another way ?
In most of solutions I found, it is done by directly using objectManager (which should be never be used).

It's always a better practice to use service contracts.

In your case I would use \Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface :

protected $_customerRepositoryInterface;
public function __construct(
    ....
    \Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface $customerRepositoryInterface,
    ....
) {
    ....
    $this->_customerRepositoryInterface = $customerRepositoryInterface;
}

Then in your code you can call:

$customerId = 1;
$customer = $this->_customerRepositoryInterface->getById($customerId);

Magento – How to load model without $objectManager and without inject dependencies

First of all, you should use factors for noninjectable classes.

Second, use Proxy for optional dependencies.

For example in your case

public function __construct(
    ...
    \Magento\Framework\App\ResourceConnection $connectionResource,
    \Magento\Newsletter\Model\SubscriberFactory $subscriberFactory
) {

you need to configure DI as

<type name="..\Observer">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="connectionResource" xsi:type="object">
            \Magento\Framework\App\ResourceConnection\Proxy
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

Magento2 – Get Media URL in Template File Without Object Manager

You can get media url in your template file using below way but without using objectmanager you must have to define Block file with __construct() method with define storeManagerInterface in construct method.

In your phtml Block file create __construct function.

public $_storeManager;

public function __construct(\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager)
{
       $this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
}

In your phtml file call below method to get mediaurl,

$mediaUrl = $this ->_storeManager-> getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA );

echo $mediaUrl;

This is the proper way to get media url in Magento 2.
