FAQs

A: Yes! The formatter will use the exact same URL processor to generate its links that your facet is using. You can change the processor at any time and the field links will automatically update.

A: There was no way that I could find to invalidate the field's display cache when the source was updated. My plan is to bring this up with the Search API and Facets maintainers. In the meantime, you'll have to clear your site cache manually if you update your source's path.

A: No, I started developing this module before searching to see if someone else had done this before, which you should never, ever do! So this was developed entirely from scratch.

I have contacted the maintainer of Facet link formatter and found out there is no D8 port planned for that module. ERFL is now the recommended replacement for FLF for sites that are upgrading to Drupal 8. I'm not planning on writing any sort of upgrade path because the field settings are different. FLF required you to give it the path of the search page. ERFL requires you to specify the facet ID, which is a config entity. There's no way to map one to the other.
