Magento 2 Custom Variables in Email Template

[stanhook]

I have a custom shipping module and I am trying to execute some information in an email template based on the shipping method chosen. I have tried things like:

{{if order.getShippingDescription() == 'Shipping Method - Shipping Title'}}
<p>{{trans "Works!"}}</p>
{{/if}}

How can I target the shipping method and show information based on that method in the email template?

Or, how can I do something like this:

Thanks, Stan

UPDATE:

I have tried creating a plugin in Vendor/Module/Plugin/Order/Email/Container/EmailCode.php:

class EmailCode
{
public function beforeSetTemplateVars(\Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Container\Template $subject, array $vars)
{ 
/** @var Order $order */
$order = $vars['order'];
$method = $order->getShippingMethod();

$vars['shipping_code'] = $method === 'freedelivery_freedelivery';

return [$vars];
}
}

and I added in etc/frontend di.xml:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Container\Template">
<plugin name="email.shipping.code" type="Vendor\Module\Plugin\Order\Email\Container\Template\EmailCode" sortOrder="100"/>
</type>
</config>

and then this in my email template:

{{if shipping_code}}
<p>{{trans "Email Code Works"}}</p>
{{/if}}

And it didn't work. Any help is appreciated!

Here it is on Magento StackExchange:

You can do this withoud making changes in files. Magento has created tempate varibales for the transactional email templates. you can find all variables form the https://gist.github.com/tiagones/e2f3f822515e2fe0d23d

order.getShippingDescription() is not woring in you case. you can try other valid template vars.

{{var order.getShippingMethod(1).getMethod()}}

{{var order.getShippingCarrier().getConfigData('title')}}

Hi,

@Kapil_Thakur  I am not sure if that will do what I need.  If a certain shipping method is used I need to show some information.

Anyhow, I did it by adding an Observer.  If anyone wants the code the solution is in the Stack Exchange link in my original post.

Thanks!
