Get the value of a field from an entity reference

Question

I have a content type (Actuality) with an entity reference field to another content type (Event). In the referenced content type, I have a field_date field I want to print in the node--actuality.html.twig template file. I tried using {{ node.field_event_associated.field_date }}, but it doesn't work.

How can I print the field value of a referenced entity?

Answer 1

With a field_event_associated node field, you can get its value with {{ node.field_event_associated.value }}. That doesn't work for entity reference fields, for which you need to use {{ node.field_event_associated.entity.field_date.value }}.

Answer 2

If you want to render a properly formatted single field of a referenced entity you'll simply have to use the |view filter on the desired field of the referenced node.

Let's say the field_customer on my parent node references a customer content type entity that holds the customer's address in field_address.

{{ node.field_customer.entity.field_address|view }}

Use the referenced entity's display settings to define the format of the field you want to render.

Answer 3

The value you're mostly looking for would be the title value:

{{ node.field_organisation_reference.entity.title.value }}

Answer 4

Output entity reference field value and create url on twig.

entity reference value : {{ node.field_name.entity.title.value }}

entity reference url : {{ url('entity.node.canonical', {'node': node.field_name.target_id}) }}
