In Magento 2, when customer login to the website, he is given the My Account option on the right side. Clicking on it opens the Myaccount section. In this blog, we are going to explain how to add additional tabs to that section.<\/p>\n

It is very easy to make a custom tab see this step:-<\/p>\n

\u21d2 You have to create the file customer_account.xml<\/strong><\/em> in this path Vendorname\/Modulename\/view\/frontend\/layout<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<page xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" \n   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:framework:View\/Layout\/etc\/page_configuration.xsd\">\n    <body>\n        <referenceBlock name=\"customer_account_navigation\">\n            <block class=\"Magento\\Framework\\View\\Element\\Html\\Link\\Current\" \n               name=\"mobile-number-tab-link\" cacheable=\"false\">\n                <arguments>\n                    <argument name=\"path\" xsi:type=\"string\"> routename\/customer\/index<\/argument>\n                    <argument name=\"label\" xsi:type=\"string\">Custom Tab Name<\/argument>\n                <\/arguments>\n            <\/block>\n        <\/referenceBlock>\n    <\/body>\n<\/page>\n<\/pre>\n
\u21d2 You have to create \u00a0file\u00a0 routename _customer_index.xml<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0in this path Vendorname\/Modulename\/view\/frontend\/layout\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<page xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/lib\/internal\/Magento\/Framework\/View\/Layout\/etc\/page_configuration.xsd\"> \n    <update handle=\"customer_account\"\/> \n    <body> \n        <referenceBlock name=\"page.main.title\"> \n            <action method=\"setPageTitle\"> \n                <argument translate=\"true\" name=\"title\" xsi:type=\"string\"> Custom Tab Name <\/argument> \n            <\/action> \n        <\/referenceBlock> \n        <referenceContainer name=\"content\"> \n            <block class=\"Magento\\Framework\\View\\Element\\Template\" name=\"custom-tab-link\" template=\" Vendorname_Modulename::customer\/account\/customtab.phtml\" cacheable=\"false\"\/>\n        <\/referenceContainer> \n    <\/body> \n<\/page>\n<\/pre>\n
\u21d2\u00a0 You have to create \u00a0file\u00a0 routes.xml<\/strong><\/em> in this path Vendorname\/Modulename\/etc\/frontend<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\n<config xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:framework:App\/etc\/routes.xsd\">\n    <router id=\"standard\">\n        <route frontName=\"custaccounttab\" id=\"custaccounttab\">\n            <module name=\" Vendorname_Modulename \"\/>\n        <\/route>\n    <\/router>\n<\/config>\n<\/pre>\n
\u21d2 \u00a0You have to create \u00a0file\u00a0 Index.php<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0in this path Vendorname\/Modulename\/Controller\/Customer<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
<?php\n \nnamespace Vendorname\\Vendorname \\Controller\\Customer;\n \nclass Index extends \\Magento\\Framework\\App\\Action\\Action \n{\n    public function execute() \n    {\n        $this->_view->loadLayout();\n        $this->_view->renderLayout();\n    }\n}\n<\/pre>\n
\u21d2 You have to create \u00a0file\u00a0 customtab.phtml<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0in this path Vendorname\/Modulename\/ view\/frontend\/templates\/customer\/account<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
<?php \n \n\/\/ Add your tab content here.\necho \"This is a custom tab \";\n<\/pre>\n
Then you should do this commend php -dmemory_limit=2G bin\/magento cache:flush<\/strong> and see the custom tab has successfully landed in the myAccount section. i hope you have to understand this blog.if you have any questions let me know in comment section<\/p>\n
