I have Magento 2.2.4 version, And I want to overwrite Magento_Checkout/template/minicart/item/default.html file in my custom module. For this, I created require-jsconfig.js file at below path

/app/code/Namespace/Module/view/frontend/requirejs-config.js

var config = {
    map: {
        '*': {
          'Magento_Checkout/template/minicart/item/default.html': 'Namespace_Module/template/minicart/item/default.html'
        }
  }
};

removed "var" folder from root and remove "pub/static/frontend" folder and run below command:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

But mini cart is showing blank. Can anyone help me to understand my mistake?

Magento provides requirejs-config.js files for overriding the js & html file to enhance the functionality of the existing js & html files by simply manipulating them into your custom module.

To do that just follow the following guidelines.

  • Create & register your custom module & create requirejs-config.js file at below location

Magento_root/app/code/Vendor/Module/view/frontend/requirejs-config.js

And below code in your requirejs-config.js

var config = {
    map: {
        '*': {
          'Magento_Checkout/template/minicart/item/default.html': 
              'Vendor_Module/template/minicart/item/default.html'
        }
  }
};

If you required to do very minor changes then instead of creating a module you can directly do that by simply overriding it with the help of your theme. For that just follow the below guidelines.

  • Just copy the file from the below location

vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/web/template/minicart/item/default.html

  • Place it into your custom theme at the below location & make your changes there into that file

Magento_root/app/design/Vendor/theme/Magento_Checkout/web/template/minicart/item/default.html

So we can override any html file in this way.

Note: After making the changes to deploy it properly please run the below commands

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento c:f

  • Did you checked that is it calling your page or the default old page there in your cart section? try to make different changes into both of them & see which change is coming there. try to deploy your static content & before that delete the generated folder & the var/cache folder contents.

  • After doing that I checked, it is calling the default file only. Not the updated one. But I can able to see my updated code under pub/static section. And I run below all command rm -rf pub/static/frontend/ , rm -rf var/, rm -rf generated/, php bin/magento setup:upgrade, php bin/magento setup:di:compile, php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy, php bin/magento indexer:reindex, php bin/magento cache:clean, php bin/magento cache:flush

  • Are you working on your local system or on the server? If you are working on the server then there is a possibility that some cache is set there try to remove that cache & also try with different browsers or browsers into incognito/safe mode because it can be possible that your browser cache is loading the old data!

You can also check xml file here

vendor/magento/module-checkout/view/frontend/layout/checkout_cart_sidebar_item_renderers.xml

in line 27

<item name="template" xsi:type="string">Magento_Checkout/minicart/item/default</item>

You have to create same file in your module vendor/module/view/frontend/layout/checkout_cart_sidebar_item_renderers.xml and add this content to it

<?xml version="1.0"?>
