I remember in Drupal 7, this was possible. I need to add some HTML before a field and I don't want to edit it in the Twig file. Is it somehow possible to add prefixes / suffixes by using the template_preprocess_field function?

I already tried something like that, but with no success:

function MYTHEME_preprocess_field(&$variables, $hook) {
    $element = $variables['element'];
    if ($element['#field_name'] === 'field_genre') {
        $element[0]['#prefix'] = '<div class="project-info">';
    }
    if ($element['#field_name'] === 'field_duration') {
        $element[0]['#suffix'] = '</div>';
    }
}

    Yep that's still the same. You're just discarding the changes, you want $element = &$variables['element'];

  • Darn, that was stupid! Thanks! However, even after changing this, it won't work. Do I need to use the Delta Array? Or is prefix and suffix generally for a field rather than a single value inside it?

    Yeah you might need to dig further down in the array - look for the child with '#type' => 'textfield' or '#type' => 'select' or whatever, that's the element that needs the prefix/suffix

    Yes, you should be able to add a prefix/suffix to any render element, but not in $variables['element'], because in preprocess the fields are already copied to $variables['items'], see template_preprocess_field().

  • Thanks! I'm now able to create prefixes and suffixed. However, the prefix is rendered inside the div.field__item - I'd like to render it outside the div.field which is 2 levels above. Is it possible?

to prefix a paragraph field, this needs to be put into mytheme.theme .

function mytheme_preprocess_paragraph(&$vars) {
  if (isset($vars['elements']['#paragraph']) && ($vars['elements']['#paragraph']->getType() == 'hp_dean')){
    //kint($vars);
    $vars['content']['field_hp_dean_title']['#prefix'] = '<div class="cont-wrap">';
    $vars['content']['field_hp_dean_more']['#suffix'] = '</div>';
  }
}

you can adjust this to your specific hook, like hook_preprocess_node and similar .
