Problem/Motivation

Views comes with a built-in serialized field handler (Drupal\views\Plugin\views\field\Serialized), which is really great for database columns where data is serialized. However, this field handler plugin only allows limited options for rendering. It is difficult to implement custom rendering of the serialized field.

Proposed resolution

Add an option to use a custom twig template to render the serialized field

Remaining tasks

Patch
Reviews
Commit

User interface changes

A new option in Views UI to use custom twig template to render a serialized field

API changes

None

Data model changes

New "custom_template" key in the views.field.serialized data schema

Technically this is a feature request. Are you sure

Are you sure you actually need to call out to the renderer? Isn't it enough to return the render array as it is?

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes.
