Header and Top links in Magento 2

In this blog I will explain how to add header and top link with default.xml file. Header link is displayed for both guest and logged in customers. Top link is displayed only for logged in users.

To show the links create default.xml under Webkul/Menu/view/frontend/layout folder

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="header.links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="header-menu">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Header Menu</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">*/*/*</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
        <referenceBlock name="top.links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="top-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Top Link</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">*/*/*</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
