One of the common tasks in Magento 2 development is to add a link in customer account navigation. In each and every project developers come up with a task in which they need to add an additional link to the customer account area. Therefore, today I’m going to share a code snippet to add a link in customer account navigation.
To add a static link means the link will always display when the customer logged in, is just achieve by adding below XML file. However, to add a link dynamically in customer account navigation, you need to create an additional block file.
Add Link in Customer Account Navigation
Step 1: Create customer_account.xml file under your module app/code/Codextblog/Demo/view/frontend/layout directory. Add below code in the file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
<block class="CodextblogDemoBlockViewElementHtmlLinkCurrent" name="customer-account-navigation-my-link" cacheable="false">
<arguments>
<argument name="path" xsi:type="string">demo</argument>
<argument name="label" xsi:type="string">My Link</argument>
<argument name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">10</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
Step 2: Create Block file Current.php under your module app/code/Codextblog/Demo/Block/View/Element/Html/Link directory. Add below code in the file.
<?php
namespace CodextblogDemoBlockViewElementHtmlLink;
use MagentoCustomerBlockAccountSortLinkInterface;
use MagentoCustomerModelSession as CustomerSession;
use MagentoFrameworkAppDefaultPathInterface;
use MagentoFrameworkViewElementTemplateContext;
/**
* Class Current
* @package CodextblogDemoBlockViewElementHtmlLink
*/
class Current extends MagentoFrameworkViewElementHtmlLinkCurrent implements SortLinkInterface
{
/**
* @var CustomerSession
*/
protected $_customerSession;
/**
* Current constructor.
* @param Context $context
* @param DefaultPathInterface $defaultPath
* @param CustomerSession $CustomerSession
* @param array $data
*/
public function __construct(
Context $context,
DefaultPathInterface $defaultPath,
CustomerSession $CustomerSession,
array $data = []
) {
$this->_defaultPath = $defaultPath;
$this->_customerSession = $CustomerSession;
parent::__construct($context, $defaultPath);
}
protected function _toHtml()
{
if (conditon) {
return parent::_toHtml();
} else {
return null;
}
}
public function getSortOrder()
{
return $this->getData(self::SORT_ORDER);
}
}
