Replace Image Alt with variable in Magento 2

[eminemusah16c9]

I want to replace the image Alt in category page (list of products) with a variable, I don't want to keep the product label that Magento use by default, I want to get the value of MetaKeywords of the current Category.

My goal is to apply a single image alt value to all the product of the current category.

We are using a custom template in Magento 2.

I went to this file "image_with_borders.phtml" I tried to replace the value "getLabel" with "getMetaKeywords" but doesn't work.

Here how the code looks in that file: 

alt="<?= $escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($block->getLabel()) ?>"/>

To replace with : 

alt="<?= $escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($category->getMetaKeywords()) ?>"/>

Hello @eminemusah16c9 

In Magento 2, you can get the value of the meta keywords for the current category using the following steps:

• Step 1: Inject the \Magento\Framework\View\Page\Config class in your PHP file or block class. You can do this by adding the following code to your constructor:
  

  protected $_pageConfig;
  		public function __construct(
  			...
  			\Magento\Framework\View\Page\Config $_pageConfig,
  			...
  		) {
  			...
  			$this->_pageConfig = $_pageConfig;
  			...
  		}

• Step 2: Use the $this->_pageConfig object to get the MetaKeywords value for the current category. You can do this by calling the getKeywords() method on the $this->_pageConfig object, like this:
  

  $metaKeywords = $this->_pageConfig->getKeywords();

• Step 3: Make sure you are on a category page. You can use the \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http class to check if you are currently on a category page. You can do this by adding the following code to your constructor and calling the isCategory() method on the $this->_request object:
  

  protected $_request;
  		public function __construct(
  			...
  			\Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $_request,
  			...
  		) {
  			...
  			$this->_request = $_request;
  			...
  		}
  		public function getMetaKeywords()
  		{
  			if ($this->_request->isCategory()) {
  				$metaKeywords = $this->_pageConfig->getKeywords();
  				// Do something with $metaKeywords
  			}
  		}

That's it! Now you have the MetaKeywords value for the current category in the $metaKeywords variable, and you can use it as needed in your Magento 2 code.
