Today we will learn how can we call a block or show a template file on homepage with a layout file.
The main question here is what is the layout file for homepage and the answer is cms_index_index.xml.
So first create a cms_index_index.xml file under Webkul/HelloWorld/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>
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Webkul\HelloWorld\Block\HomePage" name="wk_helloworld_homepage_block" template="Webkul_HelloWorld::homepage.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>
Then create a HomePage.php under Webkul/HelloWorld/Block/ folder
<?php
namespace Webkul\HelloWorld\Block;
class HomePage extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
public function getMessage()
{
$msg = "Hello World";
return $msg;
}
}
After that create a homepage.phtml file under Webkul/HelloWorld/view/frontend/templates/ folder
<h1><?php echo $block->getMessage();?></h1> <p>Some content here</p>
Home Page view
