How to retrieve variable from CMS page in Magento 2

Question

In Magento 1.9.x, we can do it like below

In CMS page, add content:

{{block type="core/template" name="..." my_vars="123,456" template="path-to/test.phtml"}}

Create path-to/test.phtml:

<?php echo $this->getData('my_vars'); ?>

---

My question is: how to achieve it in Magento 2?

Hope somebody could say more detail.

Answer 1

You can use in Magento 2 like this

{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="blockname" template="Vendor_Module::test.phtml" my_vars="123,456"}}

Now you can get the data by calling:

$myVar = $block->getData('my_vars');

OR

$myVar = $block->getMyVars();

Note: You should use $block instead of $this

Answer 2

Here you pass value from cms block/page

 {{block ... category_id="value here" ... template="test/test.phtml"}}

In test.phtml:

$this->getData('category_id');

you can also get it By

$block->getCategoryId();
