static array preRenderAddFieldsetMarkup(array $form)

Moves form elements into fieldsets for presentation purposes.

Many views forms use #tree = TRUE to keep their values in a hierarchy for easier storage. Moving the form elements into fieldsets during form building would break up that hierarchy.

Parameters

array $form

The form build array to alter.

Return Value

array

The form build array.

static array preRenderFlattenData(array $form)

Flattens the structure of form elements.

If a form element has #flatten = TRUE, then all of its children get moved to the same level as the element itself. So $form['to_be_flattened'][$key] becomes $form[$key], and $form['to_be_flattened'] gets unset.

Parameters

array $form

The form build array to alter.

Return Value

array

The form build array.

array calculateDependencies()

Dependencies are saved in the plugin's configuration entity and are used to determine configuration synchronization order. For example, if the plugin integrates with specific user roles, this method should return an array of dependencies listing the specified roles.

Return Value

array

An array of dependencies grouped by type (config, content, module, theme). For example: @code array( 'config' => array('user.role.anonymous', 'user.role.authenticated'), 'content' => array('node:article:f0a189e6-55fb-47fb-8005-5bef81c44d6d'), 'module' => array('node', 'user'), 'theme' => array('seven'), ); @endcode

string getProvider()

Return Value

bool

TRUE if the user has access to the handler, FALSE otherwise.

preQuery()

Run before the view is built.

This gives all the handlers some time to set up before any handler has been fully run.

postExecute($values)

Run after the view is executed, before the result is cached.

This gives all the handlers some time to modify values. This is primarily used so that handlers that pull up secondary data can put it in the $values so that the raw data can be used externally.

Parameters

$values

protected string placeholder()

Provides a unique placeholders for handlers.

Return Value

string

A placeholder which contains the table and the fieldname.

setRelationship()

Called just prior to query(), this lets a handler set up any relationship it needs.

ensureMyTable()

Ensure the main table for this handler is in the query. This is used a lot.

adminSummary()

Provide text for the administrative summary.

bool isExposed()

Determine if this item is 'exposed', meaning it provides form elements to let users modify the view.

Return Value

bool

isAGroup()

Returns TRUE if the exposed filter works like a grouped filter.

multipleExposedInput()

Define if the exposed input has to be submitted multiple times.

This is TRUE when exposed filters grouped are using checkboxes as widgets.

acceptExposedInput($input)

Take input from exposed handlers and assign to this handler, if necessary.

Parameters

$input

storeExposedInput($input, $status)

If set to remember exposed input in the session, store it there.

Parameters

$input
$status

getJoin()

Get the join object that should be used for this handler.

This method isn't used a great deal, but it's very handy for easily getting the join if it is necessary to make some changes to it, such as adding an 'extra'.

broken()

Determines if the handler is considered 'broken', meaning it's a placeholder used when a handler can't be found.

string getDateFormat(string $format)

Creates cross-database SQL date formatting.

Parameters

string $format

A format string for the result, like 'Y-m-d H:i:s'.

Return Value

string

An appropriate SQL string for the DB type and field type.

string getDateField()

Creates cross-database SQL dates.

Return Value

string

An appropriate SQL string for the db type and field type.

boolean value; if TRUE, continue building this view. If FALSE, building the view will be aborted here.

validateFail()

How to act if validation fails.

defaultIgnore()

Default action: ignore.

If an argument was expected and was not given, in this case, simply ignore the argument entirely.

protected defaultNotFound()

Default action: not found.

If an argument was expected and was not given, in this case, report the view as 'not found' or hide it.

defaultAccessDenied()

protected The summaryQuery()

Build the summary query based on a string.

Return Value

The

alias used to get the number of records (count) for this entry.

protected summaryNameField()

Add the name field, which is the field displayed in summary queries.

This is often used when the argument is numeric.

summaryBasics($count_field = TRUE)

Some basic summary behavior that doesn't need to be repeated as much as code that goes into summaryQuery()

Parameters

$count_field

summarySort($order, string|null $by = NULL)

Sorts the summary based upon the user's selection. The base variant of this is usually adequate.

Parameters

$order

The order selected in the UI.

string|null $by

(optional) This parameter sets the direction for which to order. Defaults to NULL.

summaryArgument($data)

Provide the argument to use to link from the summary to the next level; this will be called once per row of a summary, and used as part of $view->getUrl().

Parameters

$data

The query results for the row.

summaryName($data)

Provides the name to use for the summary. By default this is just the name field.

Parameters

$data

The query results for the row.

title()

Get the title this argument will assign the view, given the argument.

This usually needs to be overridden to provide a proper title.

getTitle()

Called by the view object to get the title. This may be set by a validator so we don't necessarily call through to title().

validateArgument($arg)

Validate that this argument works. By default, all arguments are valid.

Parameters

$arg

validateMenuArgument($arg)

Called by the menu system to validate an argument.

This checks to see if this is a 'soft fail', which means that if the argument fails to validate, but there is an action to take anyway, then validation cannot actually fail.

Parameters

$arg

true setArgument($arg)

Set the input for this argument.

Parameters

$arg

Return Value

true

if it successfully validates; FALSE if it does not.

getValue()

Get the value of this argument.

getPlugin($type = 'argument_default', $name = NULL)

Get the display or row plugin, if it exists.

Parameters

$type
$name

getSortName()

Return a description of how the argument would normally be sorted.

Subclasses should override this to specify what the default sort order of their argument is (e.g. alphabetical, numeric, date).

static processContainerRadios($element)

Custom form radios process function.

Roll out a single radios element to a list of radios, using the options array as index. While doing that, create a container element underneath each option, which contains the settings related to that option.

Parameters

$element

See also

Radios::processRadios

static preRenderMoveArgumentOptions($form)

Moves argument options into their place.

When configuring the default argument behavior, almost each of the radio buttons has its own fieldset shown below it when the radio button is clicked. That fieldset is created through a custom form process callback. Each element that has #argument_option defined and pointing to a default behavior gets moved to the appropriate fieldset. So if #argument_option is specified as 'default', the element is moved to the 'default_options' fieldset.

Parameters

$form

static string encodeValidatorId(string $id)

Sanitize validator options including derivatives with : for js.

Reason and alternative: https://www.drupal.org/node/2035345.

Parameters

string $id

The identifier to be sanitized.

Return Value

string

The sanitized identifier.

See also

decodeValidatorId()

static string decodeValidatorId(string $id)

Revert sanitized validator options.

Parameters

string $id

The sanitized identifier to be reverted.

Return Value

string

The original identifier.

protected unpackArgumentValue(bool $force_int = FALSE)

Splits an argument into value and operator properties on this instance.

Parameters

bool $force_int

Enforce that values should be numeric.

int getCacheMaxAge()

The maximum age for which this object may be cached.

Return Value

int

The maximum time in seconds that this object may be cached.

string[] getCacheContexts()

The cache contexts associated with this object.

These identify a specific variation/representation of the object.

Cache contexts are tokens: placeholders that are converted to cache keys by the @cache_contexts_manager service. The replacement value depends on the request context (the current URL, language, and so on). They're converted before storing an object in cache.

Return Value

string[]

An array of cache context tokens, used to generate a cache ID.

string[] getCacheTags()

The cache tags associated with this object.

When this object is modified, these cache tags will be invalidated.

Return Value

string[]

A set of cache tags.

ContextDefinitionInterface|null getContextDefinition()

Returns a context definition for this argument.

Return Value

ContextDefinitionInterface|null

A context definition that represents the argument or NULL if that is not possible.

getFormula()

Get the formula for this argument.

$this->ensureMyTable() MUST have been called prior to this.

titleQuery()

Override for specific title lookups.

protected FieldDefinitionInterface getFieldDefinition()

Gets the field definition.

A View works on an entity type across bundles, and thus only has access to field storage definitions. In order to be able to use widgets and formatters, we create a generic field definition out of that storage definition.

Return Value

FieldDefinitionInterface

The field definition used by this handler.

See also

BaseFieldDefinition::createFromFieldStorageDefinition

protected FieldStorageConfigInterface getFieldStorageDefinition()

Gets the field storage configuration.
