Problem/Motivation

#2905922: Implementation issue for Layout Builder → only supports customizing the Full/Default view mode.

For overrides, the Layout Builder UI attaches itself to the canonical route.
By default, there are no routes to view an entity in another view mode.

Additionally, for view modes like teaser, the entity is shown in a way that might have wrapping markup/styling that would not be present if displayed individually

Proposed resolution

Devise a mechanism for displaying alternate view modes.
Possibilities:

  1. Individual routes per mode, like /node/5/layout/teaser
  2. Dropdown to change the view mode being configured from /node/5/layout
  3. ?

Try to mitigate issues around lack of styling (like a listing of teasers)

Remaining tasks

Decide on an approach
Write a lot of tests

User interface changes

One way or another, yes

API changes

TBD?

Data model changes

TBD?!

    We just ran into this and I think it would also make a lot of sense to pass the #view_mode to the layout theme.

    Currently, that's not possible, but there are several cases, for example in layout_paragraphs, where you'd need to determine which view mode the current paragraph, which contains the layout (and thereby the layout) is rendered in!

    So that in hook_preprocess_layout(&$variables){} we can determine the view mode of the entity the current layout is rendered in: 

      $variables['view_mode'];

    Should we have a separate issue for that, or solve it here? I think it's quite close to this issue?
