Creating a fallback field to load conditionally

Question

So if I have a node type of Article. I have two fields on it:

• field_image
• field_secondary

If field_secondary is being used, I'd like for that to be shown over field_image. Can anyone help point me in the right direction how I'd go about this?

Answer 1

If field_secondary is also an image field, then you can check if it is empty in your Twig template:

For example, in node--article.html.twig:

{% if content.field_secondary is empty %}
  {{ content.field_image }}
{% else %}
  {{ content.field_secondary }}
  {{ content.field_image }}
{% endif %}

{{ content.without('field_image', 'field_secondary') }}

(Your actual template will have more HTML in it.)
