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!

Examples

Integrations

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