Component body

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:

  • powerfull 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 core version. If you are still using contrib version of Media entity keep using 8.x-1.x versions. If you are not using Media entity at all it should make any difference.

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

Documentation

Some documentation is available in Drupal 8 media guide. We try to keep it up to date. If you find any missing parts or inconsistencies please open a pull request.

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