Zero1_LayoutXmlPlus
This module is aimed at reducing the need to override templates for blocks. For example, changing a single class for a button shouldn't require you to override the template. However for significant dom structure changes we would still recommend overriding the template.
Installation
composer require module enable setup:upgrade
Actions
The functionality has been split into "actions" different actions that can be taken on the output of a blocks html before it is passed to a user.
Common Parameters
action
: id of the action you wish to carry outxpath
: an xpath expressing to identify elements within the template. For compatibilty all templates are rendered inside a<root>
node, so if you wanted the first div you would want something like(/root/div)[1]
or 2nd div:(/root/div)[2]
or all divs/root//div
.

XPath Cheat Sheet
- select all labels with a class of 'swatch-option'
/root//label[contains(@class, 'swatch-option')]
Other Recommendations
When it comes to stopping blocks outputting content, using layout xml can often remove the requirement to change the template. N.B when referencing a block you must use it's name and not it's alias Example dont do
<?= // $block->getChildHtml('review_form') ?>
do
<referenceBlock name="product.review.form" display="false"></referenceBlock>
TODO
- make debug flag setable/env'able
