Magento2 – Plugin/Event After Invoice is Created

event-observerinvoicemagento-2.1magento2plugin

I need to execute some custom code after invoice is created

I have some code working fine, when invoices are created in admin storeview (I am observing sales_order_save_before event & checking for a state change to detect if the invoice has been created), but this does not work when 3rd party payment methods create the invoice during frontend checkout process

I am not sure if I can achieve this with observer / event approach, or maybe a plugin should be the right method. Any tips?

I finally solved this using sales_order_invoice_pay event, which is fired both in admin & frontend scopes

So in no way I'm saying this is best practice but you could get the layout in the observer and add a Javascript tag to the head block for example.

Still, there must be a better way to do whatever you wanna do. Maybe update your question with whatever you want to accomplish

$layout = Mage::app()->getLayout();
$layout->getUpdate()->addUpdate('
reference name="head">
    <block type="core/text" name="myjs">
        <action method="setText"><text><![CDATA[<script type="text/javascript">
// put your JS here
</script>]]></text></action>
    </block>
</reference>');
$layout->getUpdate()->load();
$layout->generateXml();

Magento – Render Javascript on customer_login event

you cannot access the blocks in the layout because there are no blocks in the layout.
The customer_login event is dispatched on a POST action that does not have output.
TO overcome this, you can, in your observe, add just something to the session and in you block just check if there is that value in the session.
If there is, use it and remove it.
