Add Media Entity To All Templates

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 21 May 2025, 15 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Since Media entities are fieldable, we should be able to add fields to customize/configure the rendering. As one example, Buzzsprout allows you to show large or small versions of the player. You can show a single episode or entire channel. I can add fields to the media entity to select these choices, but the media entity is not accessible in the template.

Steps to reproduce

Add a field to one of the media types, then dump() in the twig template- note that the media entity is not added to the variables, and therefore the value of the added field is inaccessible.

Proposed resolution

Add the "media" entity as a variable in the formatter plugins and hook_theme variables.
