Channel: Islandora Foundation
Date: 04/08/2020

A session from Islandora Online: Islandora & Metadata, held on July 28, 2020. Linked Data Lookup Field provides an autocomplete field widget that pulls suggested matches and URLs from authoritative sources.

 In this session, Alexander O'Neill (UPEI) session explains how to create a custom lookup configuration entity, as well as how to create a new plugin to handle unsupported query or result formats. I’ll include a primer on Drupal’s config entity and plugin system, and how to use the Drupal console to create a working example.
