MAGENTO 2 HOW TO GET ALL XML LOADED TREE
In this post we will show you How to get all xml loaded tree in nmagento 2 , we can output any xml file layout of any page(for any file) in magento 2.
Sometime you have got a want to print all xml loaded tree to see whether or not your custom xml handles ar loaded or not ?
For this purpose, I actually have written a straightforward module to print all xml loaded tree in an exceedingly xml file, thus checking your custom module xml is a lot of simply.
General ideas for this extension is:
- We listen to an event “layout_generate_blocks_after” and get all loaded tree from that point.
- Save all loaded tree to an xml file(any page).
It sounds easy ans sily right. Here we go to create it.
The module we will create/add like the following image:

1) We need to create a new directory onlinecode/Dev.
2) Create “registration.php” in onlinecode/Dev/registration.php to declare with Magento 2 about our module directory.
<?php
/*
* "Onlinecode_Dev" add module directory
*/
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'Onlinecode_Dev',
__DIR__
);3) Create “module.xml” at onlinecode/Dev/etc/module.xml : To let Magento 2 know about setup version of our module
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="module.xsd">
<module name="Onlinecode_Dev" setup_version="1.0.0" schema_version="1.0.0" release_version="1.0.1">
</module>
</config>
4) Create “event.xml” at onlinecode/Dev/etc/fronted/event.xml. In this file, we will listen to event “layout_generate_blocks_after”
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
<event name="layout_generate_blocks_after">
<observer name="thienphucvx_layout_generate_blocks_after" instance="onlinecode\Dev\Model\Layout" />
</event>
</config>5) Create “Layout.php” at onlinecode/Dev/Model/Layout.php with the content as below
<?php
/**
* Create "Layout.php" at onlinecode/Dev/Model/Layout.php
*/
namespace onlinecode\Dev\Model;
use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
class Layout implements ObserverInterface
{
protected $set_logger;
public function __construct ( \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger_cons )
{
$this->set_logger = $logger_cons;
}
public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
$get_xml = $observer->getEvent()->getLayout()->getXmlString();
/*
* $this->set_logger->debug($get_xml);
*/
$get_writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/layout_block.xml');
$get_logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger();
$get_logger->addWriter($get_writer);
$get_logger->info($get_xml);
return $this;
}
}6) Set up module :: In your home website directory. enter CMD command line:
- php bin/magento module:enable Onlinecode_Dev
- php bin/magento setup:upgrade
Refresh the page that you simply need to visualize xml file (example for : your website home page) and check your handle xml file in var/log/layout_block.xml.
