Rendering Html content for Header Block

Question

I want to get my header part as html and I will use this in some other site with API call. For that I am trying to render using Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header block and the following code:

$this->_view->getLayout()
 ->createBlock('Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header')
 ->setTemplate('Magento_Theme::html/header.phtml')
 ->toHtml();

But it is not working. Can someone please suggest how to correct this or some other method to implement.

• kunj: what you getting by this code?
• sabarivenkatesankrish: I am getting the error like Invalid template file: 'Magento_Theme::html/footer.phtml' in module: 'Magento_Theme' block's name: 'html\\footer_0'
• kunj: try without template $this->_view->getLayout()->createBlock('Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Header')->toHtml();
• vaso123: I am trying to do this also, but I've got an empty string as result. Did you solved it?

Answer 1

Can't you use $block for any reason instead of $this->_view?

update

One more thing, template path should use / instead of \

Magento_Theme::html/header.phtml

• sabarivenkatesankrish: particular reason for using the $this->_view, as mentioned in the post I am going to use this as API. So I need to get the html in model. In model it is not possible to use $block->getLayout() or $this->getLayout().
• sabarivenkatesankrish: Actually I was used the template as Magento_Theme::html/header.phtml. But in the post only by mistake I put the back slash
• Raul Sanchez: which error do you see? or it just doesn't print anything? any info in var/log files?
• sabarivenkatesankrish: Yes, I am getting the error like Invalid template file: 'Magento_Theme::html/footer.phtml' in module: 'Magento_Theme' block's name: 'html\\footer_0'
• Raul Sanchez: Try setting just html/header.phtml, without specifying module

Answer 2

Try this code :

echo $this->getLayout()
 ->createBlock("Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Footer")
 ->setTemplate("Magento_Theme::html/footer.phtml")
 ->toHtml();

• sabarivenkatesankrish: Hi, as I mentioned in the post, this is to be implemented as Api. I can't use $this class in model or even in controller to get the layout
