Use includeDynamic from a plugin

Support Request

Hi Ben,

I hope you're doing well.

I’m currently working on a simple plugin to add an "Edit Page Entry" link to the frontend, and I was wondering if there’s a way to inject a dynamically rendered template into the frontend via a plugin, so that even cached entries would receive this link. I understand your time is very valuable, and I don't want to take too much of it, but I’d really appreciate any guidance you could provide.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

$blitzVariable = Craft::createObject(BlitzVariable::class);
$html = $blitzVariable->includeDynamic('craft-quick-edit/_settings.twig');
Craft::$app->getView()->registerHtml($html, View::POS_END);

This is the content of my _settings.twig:

<div>
  <p>Hi</p>
</div>

But when I test it, this is the output I get:

<span id="blitz-inject-2" class="blitz-inject" data-blitz-id="2" data-blitz-uri="/_dynamic" data-blitz-params="action=blitz/include/dynamic&amp;index=1519155553" data-blitz-property=""></span>

Any insights or suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

After writing this, I tried to put the code into the Craft::$app->onInit() function and now I get the correct html back. Yeyy, but my variables are not working properly :(

My code is now:

            $cpEditUrl = $entry->getCpEditUrl();
            $canEdit = Craft::$app->getElements()->canSave($entry); // does update here
            $blitzVariable = Craft::createObject(BlitzVariable::class);
            $html = $blitzVariable->includeDynamic('craft-quick-edit/_settings.twig', [
                'cpEditUrl' => $cpEditUrl, // works as expected
                'canRender' => $canEdit, // does not update in the _settings component
            ]);
            Craft::$app->getView()->registerHtml($html, View::POS_END);

in _settings.twig i tried something like that:

{{ dump(canRender, cpEditUrl) }}
{% if canRender %}
  <div>
    <p>Hi</p>
  </div>
{% endif %}

Can you provide a simple example so I can test locally? Be sure to clear the cache any time you make changes during testing, otherwise you’ll be viewing stale versions of the page.
