How to pass view model class argument when call block from static block

Question

<block class="Magento\Store\Block\Switcher" name="store_language" as="store_language" template="Magento_Store::switch/languages.phtml">
<arguments>
<argument name="view_model" xsi:type="object">Magento\Store\ViewModel\SwitcherUrlProvider</argument>
</arguments>
</block>

I just want to call the above block via Static block (From Admin), but it gives an error due to ViewModel class.

I don't know how to pass view model argument when we call block via static block

Does anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

You cannot set object as arguments when using the Markup Notation in Magento2.

{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" view_model="Vendor\Example\ViewModel\Standard" name="Vendor_Example::view.phtml" }}

In view.phtml

If you execute echo $block->getViewModel() will return Vendor\Example\ViewModel\Standard as a string and not an object.
