Views integration

The Name module exposes name fields to Views with component-level fields and a fulltext filter tailored to multi-part names.

Requirements

• Name module.
• Views module.

What Name provides

Name adds Views data for each Name field via hook_field_views_data().

For each Name field, it provides:

• A fulltext filter on the base Name field using plugin ID name_fulltext.
• Individual subfields for each component (title, given, middle, family, generational, credentials).

Fulltext filter behavior

The fulltext filter plugin class is:

• Drupal\name\Plugin\views\filter\Fulltext

Supported operators:

• Contains
• Contains any word
• Contains all words

The filter searches across all six core components as one normalized string.

Site builder usage

In a View display:

1. Add your Name field or individual component fields.
2. Add the Name fulltext filter for cross-component matching.
3. Use component fields when you need separate columns/sorting behavior.
