Config entities and views integration

Question

Do Config entities have views support? What I have:

1. ConfigEntity which have fields: id, admin_label, display_label, config_options.
2. ContentEntity with fields: id, entity_config_id, author.
3. entity_config_id is an entity_reference to ConfigEntity entity.
4. I use views to show all ContentEntity entities and I outputted fields: entity_config_id, author.

What I need:

I want to output in views with ContentEntity some additional fields from ConfigEntity(e.g. display_label). But I can't do it, because I don't see any way how to integrate ConfigEntity with views.

Answer 1

No, there is no views integration for config entities (that's the term you mean, not entity configuration).

The easiest way to achieve what you want is to write custom custom views field plugins and define it in a EntityViewsData class for your entity and then just access the config entity and render what you want.

Answer 2

I have created a module to expose Config Entities to the views. I just pushed the first, initial, commit to my sandbox.

• Install as usual: Config View
• Configure which Config Entities you are going to expose to the view: /admin/config/config_view
• Create a view: /admin/structure/views/add config entity will show up in the View Settings

Hope it will help.
