Is there any way to pass the token from the current paragraph to the view?

In 💬 Parent field entity in plugin interface Fixed we have a patch to pass the parent entity data to the view using $view->element['#viewsreference'] so other (custom) views alter hooks can do with the data whatever they want. This would at least allow a view alter to set arguments based on the parent entity.
This does not add token support though. Maybe we need to add support here for a custom "parent_entity" token?

Ruslan Piskarov → closed merge request !28

Rerolled for dev version

Patch #34 does not cleanly apply to the latest beta (6). I didn't check #40. I've been depending on patch #34 for quite a while now, it would be great if we could get an updated patch (or, better yet, something permanent merged).

Thanks.

I would accept a patch that adds a custom token for the parent entity data passed in via $view->element['#viewsreference'].
See 💬 Parent field entity in plugin interface Fixed :

     $view->element['#viewsreference'] = [
       'data' => $unserialized_data,
       'enabled_settings' => $unserialized_enabled_settings,
+      'parent_entity_type' => $parent_entity_type,
+      'parent_entity_id' => $parent_entity_id,
+      'parent_field_name' => $parent_field_name,
     ];

The latest patch and the MR uses the node from the route argument, which is not necessarily the parent entity (eg. when using paragraphs or layout builder). This also doesn't work for non-node entities.

It seems that #40 applies to the latest release but causes an error with $items->getEntity() because $items does not exist in the lazyBuilder method.
Here is an updated patch that loads the entity based on the (newly?) provided parent_entity_* vars.

Note: I am not familiar with this module and I'm sure this is not the best solution. You probably don't need to pass the entity everywhere if the parent entity type and ID are available. I'm just trying to maintain compatibility in a project that has some dependencies declaring that they need this patch.

I tried applying patch #43 to the beta6 release via composer. The patch applied cleanly, but my pages using the views reference field displayed the WSOD. The log recorded the following error:

Patch #43 works well for me, I only added support for translated parent entity (it seems like the default translation was the one always used).

NB: This is my first contribution, any advice is appreciated!

Ruslan Piskarov → changed the visibility of the branch 2985364- to hidden.

I suggest working on a different approach as mentioned @seanB at #42.
Since parent_entity_type and parent_entity_id already are available, we can fix it more easily.
Not sure I covered all cases.
Need review.
Works with 2.0-beta7.

Added support for a translated parent entity too.

Improvered. Covered more cases, like [paragraph:field_taxonomy_ref:target_id].

Fixed the issue when a view has ajax enabled and pagination doesn't work.

Patches 51 and 52 aren't working for me. I'm confused on some of the changes there. Patch 51 mentioned that it covers more bases, but the only change I see was this:

+      elseif (isset($view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'])
+        && $view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'] instanceof EntityInterface) {
+        $replacements[$view->element['#viewsreference']['entity']
+          ->getEntityTypeId()] = $view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'];
+      }

$view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'] is a holdover from an older patch though, it's not being set anywhere in this patch. Then 52 adds an additional check to fix ajax pagination:

-  $viewsreference_plugin_manager = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.viewsreference.setting');
-  $plugin_definitions = $viewsreference_plugin_manager->getDefinitions();
-  if (isset($view->element['#viewsreference']['enabled_settings'])) {
+  if (isset($view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'])) {
+    $viewsreference_plugin_manager = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.viewsreference.setting');
+    $plugin_definitions = $viewsreference_plugin_manager->getDefinitions();

Because of that check, and ['entity'] never being set, these plugins never execute for me anymore.

echoing @jacobbell84.
I fixed it by changing the check in hhok_views_pre_view like so:

    // Let all settings plugins alter the view.
-   if (isset($view->element['#viewsreference']['entity'])) {
+   if (isset($view->element['#viewsreference'])) {

I don't see where the ['entity'] key is being set anywhere either. I don't know if this is 100% correct. thoughts?

If I remember correctly the ['entity'] will appear if embed a view with enabled ajax in pagination.
First time it mentioned at #10.
I can't test today. Need improve a patch.
