Ability to add additional phtml to each shipping method

[apiuser]

Feature request from toonvd, posted on GitHub Jul 28, 2015

This was not possible in Magento 1 for shipping methods but was for payment methods. This makes shipping extension creators override phtmls every time. Could it be usefull to make sure we can do this in Magento 2?

To be clear, I want shipping method - custom template file, shipping method - custom template file (not required to add one tough)

@vpelipenko ok, I will do it in Mage 1 code (how I would do it): Shipping method phtml (changes marked by start custom changes):

<?php $_sole = count($_shippingRateGroups) == 1;
foreach ($_shippingRateGroups as $code => $_rates): ?>
    <dt><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getCarrierName($code)) ?></dt>
    <dd>
        <ul>
            <?php $_sole = $_sole && count($_rates) == 1;
            foreach ($_rates as $_rate): ?>
                <?php $shippingCodePrice[] = "'" . $_rate->getCode() . "':" . (float)$_rate->getPrice(); ?>
                <li>
                    <?php if ($_rate->getErrorMessage()): ?>
                        <ul class="messages">
                            <li class="error-msg">
                                <ul>
                                    <li><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_rate->getErrorMessage()) ?></li>
                                </ul>
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    <?php else: ?>
                        <?php if ($_sole) : ?>
                            <span class="no-display"><input name="shipping_method" type="radio"
                                                            value="<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"
                                                            id="s_method_<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"
                                                            checked="checked"/></span>
                        <?php else: ?>
                        <input name="shipping_method" type="radio" value="<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"
                               id="s_method_<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"<?php if ($_rate->getCode() === $this->getAddressShippingMethod()) echo ' checked="checked"' ?>
                               class="radio"/>

                        <?php if ($_rate->getCode() === $this->getAddressShippingMethod()): ?>
                            <script type="text/javascript">
                                //<![CDATA[
                                lastPrice = <?php echo (float)$_rate->getPrice(); ?>;
                                //]]>
                            </script>
                        <?php endif; ?>

                        <?php endif; ?>
                        <label
                            for="s_method_<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_rate->getMethodTitle()) ?>
                            <?php $_excl = $this->getShippingPrice($_rate->getPrice(), $this->helper('tax')->displayShippingPriceIncludingTax()); ?>
                            <?php $_incl = $this->getShippingPrice($_rate->getPrice(), true); ?>
                            <?php echo $_excl; ?>
                            <?php if ($this->helper('tax')->displayShippingBothPrices() && $_incl != $_excl): ?>
                                (<?php echo $this->__('Incl. Tax'); ?> <?php echo $_incl; ?>)
                            <?php endif; ?>
                        </label>
                    <?php endif ?>
                   // start custom changes
                    <?php if ($html = $this->getShippingMethodFormHtml($_rate->getCode())): ?>
                        <span>
                          <?php echo $html; ?>
                     </span>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                  // end custom changes
                </li>
            <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
    </dd>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Block:

    public function getShippingMethodFormHtml($rateCode)
    {
         return $this->getChildHtml('shipping.method.' . rateCode);
    }
