Ensure an empty page title is handled correctly throughout the render system and in core themes

Created on 9 November 2023, 11 months ago

Problem/Motivation

In certain cases you don't want to show a page title, typically for example on front pages or on other pages that need a "full page" experience.

We should check and document how that can be done best-practice.

  • Ensure there are tests for such a case
  • Document if returning NULL or an empty string ('') is correct
  • Ensure the title wrappers / blocks are hidden correctly, if there is no page title

This came up while working at Homebox 3.0.x, which has a "Show / hide page title" option for homebox pages.

Steps to reproduce

Some examples:

1. Return

$build['#title'] = NULL;

in a controller

2. Return NULL from a _title_callback in a route

3. Return '' or null from _title: in a route
