How to render block in twig using Drupal 8?

@cali_green 

In Drupal 8, you can use the {{ drupal_block('block_id') }} Twig function to render a block in a Twig template.

Here's an example of how you can use this function:

1

{{ drupal_block('block_id') }}

The block_id argument is the unique identifier for the block you want to render. You can find the block ID by going to the block layout page in your Drupal site's administrative interface and looking for the "Machine name" of the block.

Alternatively, you can use the @block Twig extension to render a block. Here's an example of how you can use this extension:

1
2
3
4
5

{% block content %}
  {% block my_custom_block %}
    {{ drupal_block('block_id') }}
  {% endblock %}
{% endblock %}

This will render the block with the ID block_id inside the my_custom_block block in the content region of your page.

You can also pass additional arguments to the drupal_block() function to customize the rendering of the block. For example, you can pass a title argument to override the block's title, or a label argument to specify the text to use for the block's label in the administrative interface.

For more information on using blocks in Twig templates, see the Twig theme developer's guide and the Drupal 8 Twig functions documentation.
