How to get views machine name in `block--views-block-html.twig` file?

Question

I've create views as block. Then i tried to theme my views block by altering block--views-block-html.twig file. I've struggled to get views machine name in this file. I need views machine name for some reason. So any other solutions to get views machine name?

Answer 1

Views machine name would be: /admin/structure/views/view/frontpage.

You can edit/change the view name on right corner: Edit view name / description.

You can override the template name using below.

• [base template name]--[view machine name]--[view display id].html.twig
• [base template name]--[view machine name]--[view display type].html.twig

So this would be:

• views-view--frontpage--page.html.twig

or:

• views-view--frontpage--block.html.twig

There is no theme information is displayed with D8 views as D7 views was having the those information.

Please refer the reference page.

Answer 2

You should be able to access the ID with:

$variables['view']->id();

...but to do that, you need to preprocess the block/view; in my case, I needed to grab the machine name of a view that I was preprocessing using template_chn_preprocess_views_view().

See the other options/methods you can access inside ViewExecutable.

Answer 3

This would help someone still looking for adding a block template suggestion with View's machine name.

You should be able to get the View ID with $variables['elements']['content']['#view_id] if exists.

/**
 * Implements hook_theme_suggestions_HOOK_alter().
 */
function my_theme_name_theme_suggestions_block_alter(array &$suggestions, array $variables) {
  $content = $variables['elements']['content'];

  // Add a common template suggestion for `View ID` view.
  if (isset($content['#view_id']) && $content['#view_id'] === 'view_id') {
    $suggestions[] = 'block__' . $content['#view_id'];
  }
}
