The entity extra field module lets site administrators add custom fields, such as blocks, views, or token values, to entity displays. It supports showing or hiding these fields based on specific conditions, integrating with both entity form and view displays. This module helps in rendering additional data or controlling field visibility based on predefined criteria.
Introduction
The entity extra field module allows site administrators to add various extra fields to an entity display. These extra fields can consist of blocks, views, or token values. Both entity form and view displays are supported.
Adding extra fields is really common when you're building robust web applications that need to render extra data for a given entity. Allowing for missing elements such as page title, or potentially a block that needs to be render between two pieces of content are some examples.
Another common problem is hiding a field from display, based on if a condition has been met. The entity extra field module takes advantage of the condition API, so that you can show a field only when one or more conditions have been met. This feature has been tested to work with layout builder, and the normal field display architecture.
The following field types that are provided:
- Twig
- Token
- Component (requires SDC to be installed)
- Entity link
- Views
- Block
Alternatives
