Comment on this approach

I really like to 'global scope' approach of this module - the idea of setting up attributes ONCE and then being able to reply on them everywhere is refreshing.

What I trying to achieve with it

One of the things I am trying to effect with Fences is that ability to 'wrap' a paragraph field in a class like:

small
medium
large

And to do so on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis.

I realise that I can easily do that using Classy paragraphs → but I'm trying to be as lean as possible and feels like I ought to be able to build this kind of structure easily using a simple 'size' field on my paragraphs in combination with a full-site approach like Fences but..

How do effect the kind dynamic action I'm after?

My instinct is to look to (https://www.drupal.org/project/token) and then use fields tokens to add the class attributes but Fences doesn't support tokens and there are no obvious discussions about it a far I can see.

So, either I've go the wrong end of the stick and very idea of thinking about dynamic classes with Fences is tantamount to heresy, in which case I'de be grateful for any pointers anyone has as to how to achieve what I'm after.

I know I easily do this type of thing routinely with Display Suite → but I'm not sure I wan to go there again given my lean/Drupal 10+ bottom line and the D10 version isn't ready anyway.

Any guidance gratefully received.

Thanks

came here for the same reason. I need to use a token for a elements field class but it looks like tokens are not supported?

Token support is not a bad idea, but tbh we never needed it. So feel free to implement this as optional feature in a submodule here as merge request. Thanks! :)

Are you aware of https://www.drupal.org/project/ui_styles_paragraphs → ?

You don't have to switch to the whole UI Styles ecosystem to use this, and it's a really great approach.

If I remember correctly, you are able to define defaults in the yml, and while the individual Paragraph instance has not overridden the style, you are able to update the default value globally.

Sure, it's not at field level, it's set on the paragraph itself, but this is more common practice.
