Magento 2 Create CMS Block Programmatically | Guide

Did you know that dynamically creating CMS blocks in Magento 2 helps us display tailored content on our pages?
In other words, it helps us showcase text, video, images, or even dynamic information.

We can place blocks anywhere on the page. CMS Blocks can help display text, video, or images.

Today, we are going to take a look at how to Dynamic CMS Block Programmatically in Magento 2:

1. To begin with, we need a custom module. This includes creating essential files and folders, including registration.php and module.xml.
2. Then, we have to create a PHP file. This file should be located in our module’s directory.
3. Now, we must write code to create a CMS block programmatically.

   For example:

   
<?php
use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
$bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
// Load the store manager
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$storeId = $storeManager->getStore()->getId();
// Load the block factory
$blockFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Cms\Model\BlockFactory');
// Create a new CMS block
$blockData = [
'title' => 'Your Block Title',
'identifier' => 'your_block_identifier',
'content' => 'Your block content goes here.',
'is_active' => 1,
'stores' => [$storeId],
];
$block = $blockFactory->create();
$block->setData($blockData)->save();
echo 'CMS Block has been created successfully.';

4. Finally, it is time to customize and run the script.

   In the above example, we have a $blockData array. We can modify the values in this array to meet our needs.

   Then, we can run the script either through the command line by heading to the directory with the PHP file and running this command:

   php our_php_file.php

   Alternatively, we can access it via a browser as well.
5. Now, we will be able to see the newly created CMS block in the Magento admin panel under Content > Elements > Blocks.
