Introduction:

Footers are the major components of a website. Footers are added at the bottom of every webpage that may include page numbers, dates, copyrights, logo, or links. One can add dynamic links to the footer in order to redirect users to other essential pages of the website. Adding references to the footer helps to catch the customer’s attention and boost sales by redirecting them to make the final purchase or other information.

With the below-mentioned code, you can add Dynamic Link to Footer in your Magento 2 store to increase the user experience. Let’s go for it ?

Steps to add Dynamic Link? to Footer in Magento 2:

Step 1 : First of all, you need to Create default.xml layout file in Frontend Area. Default xml file will call each page of the website.

app/code/Vendor/Extension/view/frontend/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <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');
     }
      public function getLabel()
     {
          return __('Footer Link');
     }
}
