Embed a View into a render array

Question

In Drupal 7, I used the following code implementing views_embed_view in a render array.

  $view_output = views_embed_view($view_name, $display_id, $uid);

  $page['profile']['bio_mobile'] = array(
    '#type' => 'markup',
    '#markup' => $view_output,
    '#prefix' => '<div class="mobile-display">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',
  );

How do I do that using Drupal 8? Although the function is still documented, it return nothing more than just the array I passed in.

Answer 1

I don't know about using #markup but I can create a variable with a renderable View array like so:

  // Staff snippet.
  $view = Views::getView('staff');
  $view->setDisplay('user_snippet');
  $view->preExecute();
  $view->execute();

  if (count($view->result)) {
    $variables['user_snippet'] = $view->buildRenderable('user_snippet');
  }

Then in the twig file I am sending the variable to:

{% if user_snippet %}
  {{ user_snippet }}
{% endif %}

Indeed, #markup only allows string, but you can by using a block type

$view_output = views_embed_view($view_name, $display_id, $uid);

$page['profile']['bio_mobile'] = array(
  '#type' => 'block',
  'content' => [
    'system_main' => $view_output,
   ],
  '#prefix' => '<div class="mobile-display">',
  '#suffix' => '</div>',
);
