How to show webform as block

Question

In drupal 7 we used to attach a webform to nodes and then we could render them as a block, nowadays in drupal 8 Webform is a dependent entity and is designed and developed on its own. now my question is :

I've created a webform and now I want to place it in a block so user can simply fill it up in front page, How can I show a webform as a Block?

Answer 1

Special thanks to Peacog Web Development for their great tutorial .Here is the tip:

Rather than Drupal 7, Different Block types can be created by admin

so the solution is simple :

• Create a new block type using : admin/structure/block/block-content/types
• Add a Reference of type Webform to custom block type
• remove body if it's inappropriate
• modify custom block Manage Display so the form would be rendered as webform
• your new Block type is ready

now to add any new webform as block you, you will need to add new block of type Custom Block and refer to your webform, and that's done.

Answer 2

logeshvaran is correct: Webform for Drupal 8 already provides a block that can reference a webform. So no need to create a custom block type.

Answer 3

From Drupal 8 admin

1. Create your webform
2. Structure => Block Layout => click "Place Block" under your preferred region
3. Find Webform then => Place Block => under Webform type your webform title and it will find it
4. Save Block

You are all set

You can embed a webform programmatically:

$webform = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('webform')->load(self::WEBFORM_ID);
$build['content'][] = [
  '#type' => 'webform',
  '#webform' => $webform,
];
