Yireo AdditionalBlockTemplate
=============================

[](#yireo-additionalblocktemplate)

**A Magento 2 module to allow for additional templates to be rendered, besides the original template.**

### Overview

[](#overview)

When the Magento frontend renders its storefront, it uses the XML layout to position blocks all around. Each block can be rendered via a template and by default, this means that one block only has one template. Adding a new template right before the original template but with a new `` definition causes another `$block` object to be created. This module overcomes this shortcoming and simply allows you to add multiple templates to one single `$block` instance.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require yireo/magento2-additional-block-template
bin/magento module:enable Yireo_AdditionalBlockTemplate
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Using the XML layout, you can reference a certain block and add your own template in front of the original template (`before`), after the original template (`after`) or right before the final closing tag in the original template (`nest`):

```

                        Yireo_Example::example-before.phtml
                        before

                        Yireo_Example::example-after.phtml
                        after

                        Yireo_Example::example-nest.phtml
                        nest

```

Each item name (in this case `example1`, etc) can be retreived in the block template using `$block->getAdditionalTemplateName()`.
