entity_fallback_value

EntityFallbackValue provides developers with a flexible cascade system to retrieve entity field values based on defined priorities.

The problem it solves

When displaying content, you often want to show a value that can be carried by multiple optional fields. Instead of writing custom logic each time, EntityFallbackValue lets you define a priority chain once — if the first field is empty, it falls back to the next, and so on.

Features

  • Plugin system — define your own fallback chains with a structured, reusable plugin API
  • Token integration — use fallback values anywhere tokens are supported
  • Twig method — access fallback values directly in your templates

Example use case

An entity has three optional description fields: Long description, Description, and Chapô. You want to display whichever is filled in, in that priority order. Define the chain once via a plugin, then use the token or Twig method to retrieve the resolved value — no custom PHP needed at the template level.

Documentation

For installation and usage instructions, see the README.txt file included in the module repository.
