Extract Url & Title from link field in Drupal 8?

Question

I\'m trying to retrieve the URL and the Title values of a Link field in Drupal 8.

In my custom controller, I retrieve the nodes with:<

Answer 1

At the node level, inside your Twig template you can use:

{{ content.field_link.0['#url'] }} & {{ content.field_link.0['#title'] }}

For example:

<a href="{{ content.field_link.0['#url'] }}">{{ content.field_link.0['#title'] }}</a>

field_link being the name of the link field in question.

Answer 2

Updated for Drupal 8

To get the url all you need to do is:

{{ content.field_link_name[0]['#url'] }}

To get the link text:

{{ content.field_link_name[0]['#title'] }}

Answer 3

After rendering a block if you want to access the link field used in it then you can use like this $render['field_target_url']['#items']->uri inside node preprocess hook.

Answer 4

I am doing this link separation for ECK fields and this solution really helped me. I have updated the code for ECK fields for apply inline style in twig file like this:

<a style="color: {{ entity.field_link_color[0] }};" href="{{ entity.field_link[0]['#url'] }}"> {{ entity.field_link[0]['#title'] }} </a>

To get url:
{{ entity.field_link[0]['#url'] }}

To get link title:
{{ entity.field_link[0]['#title'] }}

If you're doing it in a preprocess, I'd suggest to base your code on LinkSeparateFormatter.php. It shows the idea on how to get the title from the link field. Here's a way to do it.

use Drupal\Component\Utility\Unicode;

//...

$field_link = $entity->field_link->first();
$link_url = $field_link->getUrl();
$link_data = $field_link->toArray();
// If you want to truncate the url
$link_title = Unicode::truncate($link_url->toString(), 40, FALSE, TRUE);
if(!empty($link_data['title'])){
  // You could truncate here as well
  $link_title = $link_data['title'];
}
$variables['content'] = [
  '#type' => 'link',
  '#url' => $link_url,
  '#title' => $link_title,
];

Answer 6

I just found the solution ...

$partner->field_lien->uri // The url
$partner->field_lien->title // The title

My bad, hope it could help someone.
