3 Steps to Get Current Product & Current Category in Magento 2

Step 1: Declare in Mageplaza_HelloWorld

You will use a block class of the module Mageplaza_HelloWorld, then possibly inject the object of \Magento\Framework\Registry in the constructor of the module’s block class.

app/code/Mageplaza/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld.php

<?php
namespace Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
        protected $_registry;
        
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,        
        \Magento\Framework\Registry $registry,
        array $data = []
    )
    {        
        $this->_registry = $registry;
        parent::__construct($context, $data);
    }
    
    public function _prepareLayout()
    {
        return parent::_prepareLayout();
    }
    
    public function getCurrentCategory()
    {        
        return $this->_registry->registry('current_category');
    }
    
    public function getCurrentProduct()
    {        
        return $this->_registry->registry('current_product');
    }    
    
}
?>

Step 2: Get current product in the template phtml file

The current product includes the following information: name, sku, final price, url and associated category ids. And the current category comes with the information as name and url. Now please run the command to print out the current product and the current category.

$myBlock = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Block\HelloWorld');
 

// print current product data
if ($currentProduct = $myBlock->getCurrentProduct()) {
    echo $currentProduct->getName() . '<br />';
    echo $currentProduct->getSku() . '<br />';
    echo $currentProduct->getFinalPrice() . '<br />';
    echo $currentProduct->getProductUrl() . '<br />';
    print_r ($currentProduct->getCategoryIds()) . '<br />';    
}

Step 3: Get current category in the template phtml file

$myBlock = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Block\HelloWorld');
 
// print current category data
if ($currentCategory = $myBlock->getCurrentCategory()) {    
    echo $currentCategory->getName() . '<br />';
    echo $currentCategory->getUrl() . '<br />';        
}
