How to retrieve value of start date with format end date?

Question

I D8 installed the module Optional End Date in order to add an optional end date within a date field.

When I had a single date field value I could get the value by using:

 $datum_deelname = $node->get('field_normaldate')->value;

If I change this in the new field name:

 $datum_deelname = $node->get('field_optional_enddate')->value;

I get back NULL.

How should I get this value?

Answer 1

Try using:

 $datum_deelname = $node->get('field_optional_enddate')->end_value;

This will give the optional end date.

If you want to get the normal date as you mentioned you can use as:

 $datum_deelname = $node->get('field_optional_enddate')->value;
