I. How To Create Magento 2 Blocks by writing code
1. Create a module.xml in in app/code/Lof/HelloWorld/etc
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd">
<module name="Lof_HelloWorld" setup_version="1.0.0">
</module>
</config>
2. Create app/code/Lof/HelloWorld/registration.php file
PHP Code:
<?php
MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::register(
MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'Lof_HelloWorld',
__DIR__
);
3. Create a layout file in the following directory appcodeLofHelloWorldViewfrontendlayoutcms_index_in dex.xml
The cms_index_index.xml name will make our block only appear on the home page (module_controller_action.xml).
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="LofHelloWorldBlockHelloWorld" before='-' template="helloworld.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>
4. Lets create a block for our module. Create block file app/code/Lof/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld.php
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace LofHelloWorldBlock;
/**
* Helloworld Block
*/
class Helloworld extends MagentoFrameworkViewElementTemplate
{
public function getTitle()
{
return __("LOF Hello World");
}
}
5. Create a template file app/code/Lof/HelloWorld/View/frontend/templates/helloworld.phtml
