<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
<block class="Vendor\Extension\Block\Link" name="footer_link"/>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>
Step 2 : Now, you need to create a Block File with the name Link.php or you can give any name which is described in the block tag under the default.xml file.
app/code/Vendor/Extension/Block/Link.php
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Block;
use Magento\Framework\App\DefaultPathInterface;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context;
class Link extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current
{
public function __construct(
Context $context,
DefaultPathInterface $defaultPath,
array $data = [])
{
parent::__construct($context, $defaultPath, $data);
}
public function toHtml()
{
return parent::toHtml();
}
public function getPath()
{
return $this->getData('path');
