I want to add my custom template on product page just like $this->getChildHtml('custom_product_info').

As in magento1.9 to use $this->getChildHtml('custom_product_info') we add layout xml like below : 

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="product.info"> 
        <block type="core/template"  name="custom_product_info" template="custom.phtml"/>  
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

What is the xml and process to add custom template in Magento2.1?

Try this:

<?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="product.info">
            <block class="{Vendor}\{Module}\Block\Catalog\Product\View\{Class}" name="{your.block.name}" template="{Vendor}_{Module}::{template_name}.phtml">
                <!-- If you have any arguments to pass -->
                <arguments>
                    <argument translate="true" name="{argument_name}" xsi:type="string">{Your argument}</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

  • You should be able to use this block: Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template

If you want to add this custom block via Custom module, Then create catalog_product_view.xml at app/code/{Vendorname}/{moduleName}/view/frontend/layout,.

<?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="product.info">
            <block class="{Vendor}\{Module}\Block\{BLOCK_CLASSS}" name="{block.name.inlayout}"  as="{name_aliase_path}"
template="{Vendor}_{ModuleName}::{YourTemaplte}.phtml">
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Then you can call your block via at code at form.phtml at

<?= $block->getChildHtml({name_aliase_path}) ?>

  • Our custom phtml file will be called as childHtml of any another phtml or we can only call in that particular layout ( catalog_product_view.xml ) only which we created our custom phtml file

Use this

<?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="product.info">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="block.name"  as="block.alias"
template="{Vendor}_{ModuleName}::{YourTemaplte}.phtml">
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
