Entity browser logo by David Ličen

Goal of this module is to provide a generic entity browser/picker/selector. It can be used in any context where one needs to select few entities and do something with them.

Possible use cases:

  • Powerful entity reference widget
  • Embedding entities into wysiwyg.
  • You name it!

8.x-2.x branch information

8.x-2.x is a branch with support for the core media entity. You should only update to this version if you are using the core version. If you are still using the contrib version of Media entity keep using 8.x-1.x versions. If you are not using Media entity at all it should not make a difference.

We strongly suggest to test the upgrade in a testing environment before rolling it to production.

Examples

There is also File entity browser module that creates a nice widget that allows you to upload files and select from file library. It uses standard entity browser plugins and does some tweaks and theming on top of that.

Integrations

Entity browser integrates with Inline entity form. See documentation for more info.
