In this article, I will guide you on how to use a plugin to block Override in Magento 2.

Add di.xml file in app/code/Magemonkeys/HelloWorld/etc/ and copy the following code in it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="MagentoCatalogBlockProductView">
        <plugin name="magemonkeys-helloworld-product-block" type="MagemonkeysHelloWorldPluginProductPlugin" sortOrder="5" />
    </type>
</config>

Here enable all the methods containing before, after, and around methods.

• Firstly, beforeGetProduct method will be active.
• Next, aroundGetPrduct will be active.
• Finally, afterGetProduct method will be active. You can look into the var/log/debug.log and confirm the method execution sequence.

Add ProductPlugin.php file in app/code/Magemonkeys/HelloWorld/Plugin/ and copy the following code in it:

<?php
 
namespace MagemonkeysHelloWorldPlugin;
 
class ProductPlugin
{    
    public function beforeGetProduct(MagentoCatalogBlockProductView $subject)
    {
        // logging to test override    
        $logger = MagentoFrameworkAppObjectManager::getInstance()->get('PsrLogLoggerInterface');
        $logger->debug(__METHOD__ . ' - ' . __LINE__);        
    }
    
    public function afterGetProduct(MagentoCatalogBlockProductView $subject, $result)
    {
        // logging to test override    
        $logger = MagentoFrameworkAppObjectManager::getInstance()->get('PsrLogLoggerInterface');
        $logger->debug(__METHOD__ . ' - ' . __LINE__);
        
        return $result;
    }
    
    public function aroundGetProduct(MagentoCatalogBlockProductView $subject, Closure $proceed)
    {
        // logging to test override    
        $logger = MagentoFrameworkAppObjectManager::getInstance()->get('PsrLogLoggerInterface');
        $logger->debug(__METHOD__ . ' - ' . __LINE__);
        
        // call the core observed function
        $returnValue = $proceed(); 
        
        // logging to test override        
        $logger->debug(__METHOD__ . ' - ' . __LINE__);
        
        return $returnValue;
    }    
}
?>
