Maximum customizability for editors and maximum reusability for developers. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) One of the main components of the overviews is an overview configuration. Each configuration selects what entities are filtered and what fields and data on those entities are used as facets. A search engine is also selected for the configuration and depending upon the engine other facets and features may be available. Currently, you are limited to a configuration with just a single entity type with bundle, but future development might allow multiple entity types in a single configuration for the engines that support it. Also for facets only taxonomy fields are supported and a single date field for sorting. Engines ------- [](#engines) The engines of Entity Overview does the actual searching and filtering of entities and returns a result. These can have different feature sets like free text search or support for multiple entity types and bundles. Normally any results of the engines are transformed into entities, but it is possible to get the raw result should this be advantageous for performance or additional information. Current engines are *Entity Query* and *Relewise* through the *Relewise* module. Fields ------ [](#fields) For site builders overviews are provided as a field type called *Overview filter* which utilizes an overview configuration to specify a filter. The field also supports exposing facets to end users if editors so choose. A standard field widget is also provided for selecting filter options and exposed facets if the field allows it. Last but not least two field formatters are provided. One that simply returns the filtered entities in a given view mode and nothing more. Great for displaying the 5 latest articles. The other provides a form for exposed facets and allows the end user to refine filter options on the fly and uses the editor selected filter options as just a default selection. These field plugins are also intended to be expandable in case custom solutions are needed and field formatters can be made to display entities in any way we could imagine. Forms ----- [](#forms) The form overview formatter utilizes a form called *OverviewFilterForm* which is very customizable. It is possible to extend it and programaticly change facets, how the entities are queried, how the entities are displayed. You can use the form for overviews without any overview configuration or use of an engine. ### Health Score 46 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance80 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 90.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
