use Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template;

class Main extends Template

{
public function getMyCustomMethod()
{
return '<b>I Am From MyCustomMethod</b>';
}
}

then in any phtml file you can use following code to get method of this block.

<?php
$blockObj= $block->getLayout()->createBlock('Company\Helloworld\Block\Main');
echo $blockObj->getMyCustomMethod();
?>

Hope this helps you.

working like a charm ,, thank u – Hafiz Arslan Jul 3 '19 at 7:23

If the template is linked to the block, for example:

6 <block class="Vendor\Module\Block\Name" name="name"

template="Vendor_Module::name.phtml"/>

And you have a public method myMethod() defined in Vendor\Module\Block\Name you can call the
following in name.phtml :

$block->myMethod();

You need to assign your block to the template.phtml in layout file. Then only you can call your own function
in phtml. – Aman Srivastava Jun 17 '16 at 9:30

Place your block File in the root directory of your module /Block/Your_block_file.php(remember to
user first capital Letter for folder and file).
0
App/Code/Your/Module/Block/Your_block_file.php

<?php

namespace Your\Module\Block;

class Your_block_file extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template

{
/**
* @param \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context
* @param \Magento\Framework\Registry $registry
* @param \Magento\Framework\Data\FormFactory $formFactory
* @param array $data
*/
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Framework\Data\FormFactory $formFactory,
array $data = []
)
{
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}

/**
* Get form action URL for POST booking request
*
* @return string
*/
public function getFormAction()
{
die('Hello World');
}
}

Then link your block file with template in view/frontend/layout/your_file.xml file you defined the
block file

App/Code/Your/Module/view/frontend/layout/your_file.xml(if you are using routes.xml make sure

the name of your file must be like for ex.
frontname_controllerFolder_FileUnderControlerFolder.xml)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.x

<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Your/Module/Block/Your_block_file" name="gridpage.form"
template="Your_Module:: your_template.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>

Then Define your template file in

App/Code/Your/Module/view/frontend/templates/your_template.phtml

<?= $block->getFormAction(); ?>

Thats how you can call Block functions in in template file
