Problem/Motivation

In Alpha 1, ui_patterns_field_formatters was shipped with a mechanism inspired form Views, which allow the use of Twig to rewrite a slot output.

There are a few issues about that:

  • It is an addition which was not in the UI Patterns 1.x scope, so it doesn't belong to 2.0 which is a rewrite of the current scope.
  • It is for power users, and may be confusing for the general audience.
  • It add complexity to an already heavy codebase
  • It is not specific to Field Formatters, so may belong to a shared API.
  • Other similar power users features may be implemented this way (remove markup, tokens...)

Proposed resolution

In UI Patterns 2.0:

  • Add a way of extending Form Builder and/or Source plugins forms. Check with Christian because he will need this for UI Patterns Settings → 3.x too
  • Move this mechanism to a separate module (outside of the codebase), using this extension capacity

In UI Patterns 2.1 or superior:

  • If it was not added to UI Patterns Settings 3.x, let's talk about adding a ui_patterns_advanced sub moduels with this kind of stuff
