Magento 2: How to add a new phtml(template) to a layout file so I can use it in the head section?

Question

I am trying to add a phtml template file to the layout file so that I can use this template in the head section to insert contents from an JS file. Please tell me what is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

check below XML code

I have created a custom theme and create a default layout in the theme. I have added a template to head using below XML code.

<referenceContainer name="head.additional">
            <block class="Custom\Theme\Block\Template" name="custom_head" template="html/head.phtml" before="-"/>
</referenceContainer>
