Problem/Motivation

It can be difficult to understand how to use this module, and for which use cases.

So it would be great if it was documented, with examples for different use cases, including step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.

For inspiration, see @andileco's great example with Charts:
https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/charts/charts-howtos-0/50x-creatin...
> https://www.linkedin.com/posts/daniel-cothran-43878218_drupal-charts-dat...

We could also improve/expand project page documentation adding a bit more text about the module on the project page. This could also help fight a few issues that come up quite often too.

Also, we could add a link to Modules that embed views in fields from the project page.

Steps to reproduce

Need examples on when and how to use the module, and find very few.

Proposed resolution

Improve the documentation, by:

Creating a documentation page
Adding examples under the documentation page
Adding more information about the module on the project page
Linking to Similar modules page

Remaining tasks

  1. ✅ Create documentation page with information
    Create Views Field View documentation page .
  2. ✅ Create examples
    Just like Chart has a lot of "How to's" under https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/modules/charts/charts-howtos-0 , we could document different ways of using the module under the Views Field View documentation page .

    Example by @mortona2k: Event logger: How to show most recent log entry .
    It would be nice with even more examples, and everyone should feel free to create one.

  3. Add Documentation link under "Resources" section on the project page

    Resources

  4. Improve/expand project page documentation
    We could also add a bit more text about the module on the project page. This could also help fight a few issues that come up quite often too.
  5. ✅ Add module and description to similar modules page
    Information about the module should be added to Modules that embed views in fields .
  6. Add link to similar modules page from project page
    There should be a link to Modules that embed views in fields on the project page here.
  7. User interface changes

    API changes

    Data model changes
