field_extended

An experimental module for Drupal 8 exploring the possibility of extending some field types (currently image fields) such that various contributed features, which would be written as plugins managed by this module, can be enabled or disabled as desired on a single field instance. For example, one might want to write an extension to core image fields that scales images via html5 magic to the proper size, and one might also want to write an extension to core image fields that lets you tweak the cached image style images after uploading. Both of these things could be done by literally extending the image field widget, but the site builder must then choose one field widget or another. This way, the idea is you can combine several enhanced capabilities on one field rather than being forced into getting only one.
