Call custom block and links in footer in magento 2

In this article we will learn how to call links and custom block in footer in magento 2.

So, the file which is used to define configurations of footer is default.xml. This file will be located under app/code/Namespace/Module/view/frontend/layout/. This file calls on every page, that’s why we write code for footer in this file.

Below code is used to call custom links in footer :

<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
  <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="custom-link">
    <arguments>
      <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Custom Link</argument>
      <!-- This will be displayed as the label of the link -->
      <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">path/to/page</argument>
      <!-- here give the path where the link redirect to -->
    </arguments>
  </block>
</referenceBlock>

Now If you want to add your own custom block and template inside the footer,
then below code will be used :

<referenceContainer name="footer-container">
  <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Footer" name="custom_block" as="custom_block" template="Vendor_Module::custom.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
