Problem/Motivation

For performance reasons,
in Menu/ViewsMenuLink::getTitle()

Proposed resolution

Get the translated value from the config without instantiating the view.

And/or for a non-multilingual site, get the title and description just from the plugin definition the way MenuLinkContent does to avoid loading the entity.

Remaining tasks

  • investigate if it is possible

User interface changes

No.

API changes

No?

The easiest way would be probably to check whether config translation is enabled, or rather whether there is any dynamically altering of config in the wild.

I will try to fix this.

When I read this first, I thought this would be easy. It isn't :-) Probably because I am new to Drupal 8, so I still have to find my way in configuration, views menu links and translation.

Because I won't be able to fix this today, I will write down what I found out, maybe it is helpful for someone else.

Menu/ViewsMenuLink::getTitle() (which is in core/modules/views/src/Plugin/Menu/ViewsMenuLink.php) is called to render menu items generated by views. You can create one by creating a new view, display it on a page, and create a menu item for this page. ViewsMenuLink:getTitle will return the localized title of the view you created.

ViewsMenuLink implements MenuLinkInterface. So we will have to reimplement getTitle, so that it can return the localized title without having to instantiate the complete view. Sounds fair enough.

Now the issue suggest to get the translation from 'the config'. I am not sure yet which config is meant.

The other suggestion refers to MenuLinkContent. For 'MenuLinkContent', getTitle is implemented as follows:

public function getTitle() {
   return $this->get('title')->value;
 }   

I am not sure how this translates to MenuLinkInterface.

Sorry I couldn't work this out. Maybe I'll look at it again some day, when I am getting more used to the Drupal 8 architecture.

So, I think we just have to read the property out of the view (config entity)?

I assume that's translated, if needed when the config entity is loaded?

for the content view:

$view_entity = \Drupal::entityManager()->getStorage('view')->load('content');

$displays = $view_entity->get('display');

$title = $displays["page_1"]["display_options"]["menu"]["title"];

Roughly like this (need to test that config overrides and translations work right)
