Expose taxonomy term contextual filter in Layout Builder

Question

I have created a view block for a content type of card. The card content type also has a taxonomy vocabulary where users can add new terms to that taxonomy vocabulary. I have a contextual filter on this view block which filters by taxonomy ID. And this works in the views preview pane, e.g. I enter 1 and cards with the taxonomy term ID 1 are rendered in the preview.

However, when I use Layout Builder and select the view block, I do not get an option to input what taxonomy term ID I want to use for the block. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Pass value in contextual filter programmatically : using hook_views_pre_view(): (can add either .theme/.module file)

use Drupal\views\ViewExecutable;

function Mythemename/Mymodulename_views_pre_view(ViewExecutable $view, $display_id, array &$args) {

  if ($view->id() == 'view_machine_name' && $display_id == 'view_display_machine_name') {
      $node = \Drupal::routeMatch()->getParameter('node');
      if ($node instanceof \Drupal\node\NodeInterface) {
        // get taxonmoy field value from current node page
        $tid = $node->get('field_taxonomy')->target_id;
        if(!empty($tid)){
          $args[0] = $tid;
        }
      }  
  }
}
