Magento 2 - How to add customer name in CMS page/block?

Question

I need to add the name of the customer into a CMS Site or Block. I tried to insert {{var customer.name}} as seen in the documentation, but it does not work.

Answer 1

1. create one block file on your custom extension like this :

   <?php 
   namespace Vendor\Extension\Block
   
   class Customerinfo  extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
   {
    protected $_session;
   
    public function __construct(\Magento\Customer\Model\Session $session) {
     ...
          $this->_session = $session;
     ...
    } 
   
    public function getCurrentCustomernameinfo()
    {
       if ($this->_session->isLoggedIn()) {
           return $this->_session->getCustomer()->getName();
       }
    }  
   }
   

2. now in create custom phtml file : mycustomfile.phtml

   <?php echo $block->getCurrentCustomernameinfo(); ?>
   

3. Now call this phtml file into you CMS Block or CMS Page.

   {{block class="Vendor\Extension\Block\Customerinfo" template="mycustomfile.phtml"}}
