Override Default layout with module

Question

I have one module called Test_A. We can override any layout of Module-theme in Test_A by giving the same name.

Ex. Module-theme/view/frontend/layouts/frontname_controller_action.xml

can be override by creating file

Test_A/view/frontend/layouts/frontname_controller_action.xml.

But how can we override Module-theme/view/frontend/layouts/default.xml in My Module.

Why we have to create custom theme for it?

We can't modify any module's default.xml layout?

Why do you want override default.xml from theme into your custom module ? — PЯINCƎ, Nov 25 '19 at 10:55
@26vivek Add it in default_head_blocks.xml as Magento recommend : app/code/Vendor/Modulename/view/frontend/layout/default_head_blocks.xml — PЯINCƎ, Nov 25 '19 at 12:25
@26vivek to remove top links block : <referenceBlock name="top.links" remove="true" /> — PЯINCƎ, Nov 26 '19 at 06:48

Create default.xml in your module and add this below code :

app/code/Vendor/Module/view/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="header.links">
            <!-- remove core link -->
            <referenceBlock name="my-account-link" remove="true" />
            <!-- Add new link -->
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="custom.link" before="wish-list-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="false">Custom Link</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string" translate="false">custom-path</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
