Magento 2 E-commerce platform allows adding functionalities to your website. But changing the core files of Magento 2 is not a good practice. For this, the Magento helper class is used to override the core files. To add a phtml file from helper then the below code is useful. Let’s look at the steps to Call the phtml File in Helper in Magento 2.

Steps to Call phtml File in Helper in Magento 2:

Step 1: First you need to add Data.php in the following path:

app\code\Vendor\Extension\Helper

Then, add the below code

<?php

namespace Vendor\Extension\Helper;


class Data extends \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper
{
    protected $layoutFactory;

    public function __construct(\Magento\Framework\View\LayoutFactory $layoutFactory)
    {
        $this->layoutFactory = $layoutFactory;
    }

    public function getPhtmlFile()
    {

        $layout = $this->layoutFactory->create();
        $blockOption = $layout->createBlock("Vendor\Extension\Block\Extension")->setTemplate("Vendor_Extension::extension.phtml");
        
       return $blockOption->toHtml();
    }
}

Step 2: Now you need to add the Extension.php file in the following path:

app\code\Vendor\Extension\Block

And add the below code

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Block;

class Extension extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
    public function getDisplayText()
    {
        return "This is display text";
    }   
}

Step 3: After this now you need to add the extension.phtml in the following path:

app\code\Vendor\Extension\view\frontend\templates

And finally, add the below code:

<?php 
	echo $block->getDisplayText();
?>

That’s it!
