Entity Browser is a configurable tool that allows users to select one or multiple Drupal entities for various purposes, such as referencing them in fields or embedding them in content. It offers a flexible interface with different display options and integrates with other modules for enhanced functionality.

Goal of this module is to provide a generic entity browser/picker/selector. It can be used in any context where one needs to select few entities and do something with them.

Possible use cases:

  • Powerful entity reference widget
  • Embedding entities into wysiwyg.
  • You name it!

Documentation

Examples

There is also File entity browser module that creates a nice widget that allows you to upload files and select from file library. It uses standard entity browser plugins and does some tweaks and theming on top of that.

Integrations

Entity browser integrates with Inline entity form. See documentation for more info.
