#Views

Views lets you configure the default value for a contextual argument.

We often might use the content id from url, for example.

This will work automatically if the block is placed on a node page that is intended to be the contextual argument.

Create a list with a search filter, that automatically updates as you type for faster interaction.

Example: https://theme.mantra.network/issues

1. Create a view with an exposed combine fields filter.
   1. Search in title/body fields.
2. Enable Better Exposed Fiters in your view.
3. Enable auto-submit setting for BEF.
4. Enable ajax.

Now when you type something, like "table", the results will be filtered automatically.

Views lets you create pages that list content, but doesn't provide a way to add new items to the list.

Here's how to add a button to the top to create any content entity.

1. Install the Views Add Button and Admin Dialogs modules.
2. Set up a view, add an Entity add button to the header.
3. For Node content, select the type, and pick ViewAddButtonNode for the rendering and access plugin.
4. Customize additional settings if needed, like the button text or class.

Now your view should have a button that links to the entity add form.

Replace the hardcoded node meta info with a configurable view.

The idea here is to replace the part of the node template where author/date is printed with a view block placed in layout builder.

Search API can index relationships. To use them, add the relationship and select the field under the Content Relationship category.
