Entity Router

Lookup entities by their paths/redirects and convert to a given format.

Use

curl -X GET '/entity/router?path=<PATH>&_format=<FORMAT>'

- The value of the <PATH> can be an internal path of an entity, the redirect or its alias.

Examples:

- /node/1 - the internal path;
- /my-article - the alias;
- /my-article-old - the old alias that redirects to the current.

- The value of the <FORMAT> should be one of the request formats (only api_json handled out of the box).

Extend

- Define the format handler as a plugin.

  use Drupal\entity_router\EntityResponseHandlerInterface;

  /**
   * @EntityResponseHandler(
   *   id = "html",
   * )
   */
  class HtmlEntityResponseHandler implements EntityResponseHandlerInterface {
  }
  

- Subscribe to the response event - \Drupal\entity_router\Event\EntityResponseEvent.
- Modify the list of response handlers by hook_entity_response_handler_plugins_alter().
