    How to get and retrive WYSIWYG editor data in Magento 2 frontend?

    If you are trying to print WYSIWYG editor content into the reading format in the code condition when content is added from the WYSIWYG editor from the admin panel, and content displays something weird, then you can solve the issue by following below steps.

    Step 1: Create Registration

    Create registration.php file in the app/code/Magemonkeys/Wysiwygdata folder with the following code.

    <?php
    MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::register(
        MagentoFrameworkComponentComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
        'Magemonkeys_Wysiwygdata',
        __DIR__
    );

     

    Step 2: Create a module

    Create a module.xml file in the app/code/Magemonkeys/Wysiwygdata/etc folder with the following code.

    <?xml version="1.0"?> 
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
        <module name="Magemonkeys_Wysiwygdata" setup_version="1.0.0"></module>
    </config>

     

    Step 3: Create a Helper

    Create a Data.php file in the app/code/Magemonkeys/Wysiwygdata/Helper with the following code.

    Add a dependency Zend_Filter_Interface to your block

    <?php
        namespace MagemonkeysWysiwygdataHelper;
     
        use MagentoFrameworkAppHelperAbstractHelper;
        
        class Data extends AbstractHelper
        {
            protected $templateProcessor;
            public function __construct(
                Context $context,
                Zend_Filter_Interface $templateProcessor
            )
            {
                $this->templateProcessor = $templateProcessor;
                parent::__construct($context);
            }
            public function getWysiwygContent($content)
            {
                try{
                    return $this->templateProcessor($content);
                }catch (Exception $e){
                    return false;
                }
            }
     
        }

     

    Now when you need to retrive data, you will just need to load helper and use getWysiwygContent() function by passing content

    For Example,

    Load helper “MagemonkeysWysiwygdataHelperData” using $_helper object

    after loading helper you can access

    $_helper->getWysiwygContent($content);
