Token Description
[user] The current user.
Alias: current_user
[htmx] Information about the current HTMX request.
[htmx:is_request] Whether the current request was sent by HTMX ("1" or "0").
[htmx:boosted] Whether the current request was boosted by HTMX ("1" or "0").
[htmx:history_restore] Whether the current request is for HTMX history restoration ("1" or "0").
[htmx:target] The identifier of the element the response is targeted at.
[htmx:trigger] The identifier of the element that triggered the request. On Drupal 11 this is the element id, on Drupal 12 and later it is the CSS selector that htmx 4 sends. Prefer "trigger_name", which means the same thing on both.
[htmx:trigger_name] The name attribute of the element that triggered the request, or empty if it has none. This has the same meaning on all supported Drupal versions.
[htmx:source] The CSS selector of the element that triggered the request, for example button[name="first_item"]. Empty on Drupal 11, which does not send this information.
[htmx:request_type] Whether the request targets a full page or a fragment: "full" or "partial". Empty on Drupal 11, which does not send this information.
[htmx:current_url] The URL of the page the request was sent from.
[event] The event.
[event:display] The entity display.
[event:entity] The entity.
[event:mode] The view mode.
[event] The event.
[event:machine_name] The machine name of the ECA event.
[session_user] The user account that dispatched the event, regardless if ECA is processing models under a different account. This is only available if ECA is configured to always run under a specific account.
[entity] The entity of the event.
[ENTITY_TYPE] The entity of the event under the name of its entity type.

Fires when any content entity is being rendered, for any view mode. This wraps Drupal's hook_entity_view().

Useful for injecting custom render elements into entity displays (banners, computed values, warnings) or altering the entity's render array based on the view mode.
