Reusing methods from other blocks in custom block

Question

Having a custom Block where I fetch custom data what is the accepted workaround to inject the methods in this custom Block from another block.

Having the following situation I fetch in my custom block the most viewed products I would like to reuse the methods and template from ListProducts. Is there a way to do this without extending the above class?

• Prashant Valanda: Do you want to call method from one block to another block?
• fefe: yes for example ListProduct getAddToCartPostParams

Answer 1

Use below code in your block:

$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('your-block-classnmae');
$block->getAddToCartPostParams();

• fefe: can you explain a bit please do I place this in template or class? what is actually doing?
• Prashant Valanda: Yes you can place it in template file.It will create a block instance, you can access block method using it.
• fefe: so I place in custom template the name of my block class TopSellers which is extending ` \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template` but I get error undefined Block-Type
• Prashant Valanda: you need to use $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Modulename\Namespace\Block\TopSellers ');
