I am working on a custom content entity that I want to 'link' to a user by adding it as a tab to the user profile. Each user can have one such entity.
My route is defined as follows:
entity.my_entity.edit_form:
path: '/user/{user}/my_entity'
defaults:
_entity_form: my_entity.edit
_title: 'Edit entity'
requirements:
_entity_access: my_entity.update
options:
user: \d+
And the tab (module.links.task.yml):
entity.my_entity.edit_form:
route_name: entity.my_entity.edit_form
base_route: entity.user.canonical
title: Entity
Though this works and the tabs show up, they result in a fatal error (cannot return getValue() on null
from the getters) presumably because the form does not have an assigned entity.
If I change the route path to /user/{user}/my_entity/{my_entity}
, the form works, but I cannot create a tab as the last value is unknown to the routing system.
Can I use the provided user entity instead from the route instead and during the building of the entity form retrieve (and set) the entity I need?
