How to Get Layout Name in which is block is placed

Question

I have My block

 <block class="Vendor\ModuleName\Block\Frontend\Linked" name="catalog.product.linked" template="Vendor_ModuleName::slide.phtml" />

in this file

app\code\Vendor\ModuleName\view\layout\catalog_product_view.xml

all i need to do is i want catalog_product_view name in my slide.phtml file

Answer 1

Try this from phtml

$full_action_name = $this->getRequest()->getFullActionName();

It will return catalog_product_view, most of the time full action name is equal to layout name.

Example: module-catalog/etc/frontend/routes.xml

<route id="catalog" frontName="catalog">
   <module name="Magento_Catalog" />
</route>

The layout area path can be frontend or adminhtml which define where the layout will be applied.There is a special layout file name default.xml which will be applied for all the page in it’s area. Otherwhile, the layout file will have name as format:

 {router_id}_{controller_name}_{action_name}.xml

Answer 2

You may use other solution - input type of block (or place where block is used) by <action method="setLinkType">...</action>

Advantages of this solution are the name of the block name.

You can put in your layout configuration (app\code\Vendor\ModuleName\view\layout\catalog_product_view.xml):

<block class="Vendor\ModuleName\Block\Frontend\Linked" name="catalog.product.linked" template="Vendor_ModuleName::slide.phtml">
    <action method="setLinkType">
        <argument name="link_type" xsi:type="string">place_one</argument>
    </action>
</block>

Than you will get link type with $this->getLinkType() (in Vendor\ModuleName\Block\Frontend\Linked class) or $block->getLinkType() (in slide.phtml file)

For example:

if ($block->getLinkType() == 'place_two') {
    $do = 'something';
}
