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?

  • Do you want to call method from one block to another block? – Prashant Valanda Apr 21 '16 at 7:39
  • yes for example ListProduct getAddToCartPostParams – fefe Apr 21 '16 at 7:41

Use below code in your block:

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

$block->getAddToCartPostParams();

  • can you explain a bit please do I place this in template or class? what is actually doing? – fefe Apr 21 '16 at 7:44
  • Yes you can place it in template file.It will create a block instance, you can access block method using it. – Prashant Valanda Apr 21 '16 at 7:46
  • 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 – fefe Apr 21 '16 at 7:49
  • you need to use $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Modulename\Namespace\Block\TopSellers '); – Prashant Valanda Apr 21 '16 at 8:39
