Currently usage data is visible on entity usage page. For some pages it may be useful to display it also in a entity usage block.

Tamar Peled → started and I finished implementation of that functionality for Government of Flanders →

I would like to propose patch, which will add entity usage block to entity_usage as submodule. Why submodule? It's because it depends on entity route context → . But, if it's ok to add that dependency to entity usage, it's not a problem to convert the code to be part of it.

Features of the module:

  • Provide entity usage block, which will display current entity usage data.
  • Block allows to customize few configuration options:

    For first two options, entity route context is required. Last two allows to decide how data should be displayed. As simple list, or list grouped by entity type & bundle.

  • Block is cached. It may be useful to take a look into that part to module, when fixing problems with caching of entity usage page. I have a feeling, that part of code responsible for caching may be shared between usage page and usage block.

The code was reviewed by Wim Leers → and Raf Philtjens → . Thank you guys for all your support and knowledge! :)
