In magento 1.9, I used loadByEmail method from resource model.

But in magento2 in Magento\Customer\Model I see loadByEmail method. Customer factory, as well as customer entity which I get from quote, returns Magento\Customer\Model\Data\Customer which does not have this method.

Also CustomerRepository have only getById method.

how to load customer entity by email ?

In Magento 2 you need to use the get method from the Magento\Customer\Api\CustomerRepositoryInterface service contract class.

public function get($email, $websiteId = null);

  • Do you know why $customer = $this->_objectManager->create('Magento\Customer\Model\Customer')->load($email,'email') not works? It returns null.

    Had to use \Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory because when the email was not found instead of returning false or null it was breaking. error: "No such entity with email = xxx, websiteId = 1" . Any suggestions?

    @Mehdi Surround it with a try-catch Block try { return $this->customerRepository->get($email, 1); } catch (NoSuchEntityException $e) { return null; }

    @LucScu the Method you are searching for is called loadByEmail for ` Magento\Customer\Model\Customer` class

It is working fine, please use below code-

$CustomerModel = $objectManager->create('Magento\Customer\Model\Customer');
$CustomerModel->setWebsiteId(1); **//Here 1 means Store ID**
$CustomerModel->loadByEmail($customerEmail);
$userId = $CustomerModel->getId();

    Welcome to Magento SE and thanks for your contribution. However, using the object manager is discouraged and even working directly with the models is considered deprecated by Magento. Best practise is using the service contracts (here: CustomerRepository::get()) and in this case they do what's needed, so there is no reason not to use them.
