EntityFallbackValue provides developers with a flexible cascade system to retrieve entity field values based on defined priorities.
The problem it solves
When displaying content, you often want to show a value that can be carried by multiple optional fields. Instead of writing custom logic each time, EntityFallbackValue lets you define a priority chain once — if the first field is empty, it falls back to the next, and so on.
Features
- Plugin system — define your own fallback chains with a structured, reusable plugin API
- Token integration — use fallback values anywhere tokens are supported
- Twig method — access fallback values directly in your templates
Example use case
An entity has three optional description fields: Long description, Description, and Chapô. You want to display whichever is filled in, in that priority order. Define the chain once via a plugin, then use the token or Twig method to retrieve the resolved value — no custom PHP needed at the template level.
