Content Modeling with Custom Fields

Speakers

  • Andy Marquis

Discover how the Custom Field module redefines Drupal content modeling by storing complex, multi-valued fields (e.g., contact forms with first name, last name, email) in a single table, eliminating field table bloat and enabling efficient querying. Compare this to traditional paragraphs and blocks, which use multiple tables. Explore features like flexbox-based widget forms, customizable formatters (e.g., tables, HTML lists) and thoughtful user experience enhancements, all with reduced module dependencies and configuration overhead for scalable, developer friendly solutions.
