How to call a block inside a view page?

Question

I am working with Drupal 8. I have a view page and added a twig for that.

I want to call a block inside my view page. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use module Twig Tweak this module you can render view,block ... You can see document here

Render views

{{ drupal_view('who_s_new', 'block_1') }}

Render blocks

{{ drupal_block(plugin_id) }}

Answer 2

Here is some possible ways to do it:

1. using no extra modules

Click ADD next to header or footer area and look for GLOBAL: Rendered entity - Block. The configuration asks for view mode and block id

2. using Views block area module

You can use Views block area module that will allow you to insert a block as a field or in header or footer area.

3. using preprocess / twig

if you want to add the block using your twig template in your THEMENAME.theme file using a preprocess function

function THEMENAME_preprocess_XXX (&$variables) {
    $block = \Drupal\block\Entity\Block::load('id_block');
    $variables['myBlock'] = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()
        ->getViewBuilder('block')
        ->view($block);
}

and then inside your twig file use this

{{ myBlock }}

To find appropriate preprocess function look in your twig file comments.

For example if you want to use views-view--unformatted.html.twig you can see in the comments

* @see template_preprocess_views_view_unformatted()

which means include in your .theme file THEMENAME_preprocess_views_view_unformatted() function
