Magento 2 call a phtml file in static block

Today we talk about how to in Magento 2 call a phtml file in static block. Calling a phtml file is no different as compared to Magento 1 calling. But if you are calling it in cms block you have to use a class instead of type.

Calling a phtml file on the static block. Just add class and template path.

My current file location for the module is.

app/code/QaisarSatti/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld/view/frontend/templates/helloworld.phtml

{{block class="QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Block\HelloWorld" template="QaisarSatti_HelloWorld::helloworld.phtml"}}

My current phtml location for the theme is.

app/design/frontend/QaisarSatti/helloworld/Magneto_Theme/templates/helloworld.phtml

{{block class="QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Block\HelloWorld" template="helloworld.phtml"}}

If you want to add phtml with general magento class. Use following code.

{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" template="helloworld.phtml"}}

    }  
    public function install( SchemaSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context ) {
        $installer = $setup;

        $installer->startSetup();

       $testBlock = [
         'title' => 'Test block title',
         'identifier' => 'test-block',
         'stores' => [0],
         ‘Content’ => ‘Your content here’
