    A product collection is just data, there is nothing to render. What are you trying to do? Display a product list like in category and search results?

toHtml() return block's html output



Process



vendormagentoframeworkViewElementAbstractBlock.php



    public function toHtml()
{
/* dode */
$this->_beforeToHtml();
$html = $this->_toHtml();
$this->_saveCache($html);
/* dode */
return $html;
}


Next this goes to
vendormagentoframeworkViewElementTemplate.php



protected function _toHtml()
{
if (!$this->getTemplate()) {
return '';
}
return $this->fetchView($this->getTemplateFile());
}


Renders block html. and $this->fetchView function retrieves the block view from file (template).



Assume you know templates are using block functions and blocks extends core classes ( Template.php or AbstractBlock.php not in all cases ).



The data is populating by using toHtml()



Hope this helps.

    maybe I asked wrong...
    This solution I was looking for:



    ...
    getBlockProductsHtml($productCollection);
    ...

    public function getBlockProductsHtml($collection) {
    $html = '';
    $html = $this->_layout
    ->createBlock('MagentoCatalogWidgetBlockProductProductsList')
    ->setTemplate('Namespace_Module::html/products-grid.phtml')
    ->setData('product_collection', $collection)
    ->toHtml();
    return $html;
    }


    or



    ->setTemplate('Magento_CatalogWidget::product/widget/content/grid.phtml')


    thanks to all
