Get Data

Your plugin may need to get data from the application, such as submissions, issues, authors, users and files. Use the Repo facade and Collector to retrieve information.

$currentUser = Application::get()->getUser();

$submissions = Repo::submission()
  ->getCollector()
  ->filterByContexts([$context->getId()])
  ->assignedTo([$currentUser->getId()])
  ->limit(20)
  ->getMany();

If a Repository does not exist for the data you want, you may need to use the DAO.

$authorDao = DAORegistry::getDAO('AuthorDAO');
$authors = $authorDao->getBySubmissionId($submissionId);
