I have a select list of states:
AL|Alabama AK|Alaska AZ|Arizona AR|Arkansas In code to access the selected state value I can run code like this:
... $entity->get('field_state')->value; ... I get the values like AL or AK. How can I get the labels like Alabama or Alaska?
Not sure if there is a better way but I got the value by getting the allowed values first.
$allowed_values = $state->getFieldDefinition('field_state')->getFieldStorageDefinition()->getSetting('allowed_values'); $state_value = $state->get('field_state')->value; $info['state_name'] = $allowed_values[$state_value]; The proper way is to use options_allowed_values() function. Because the field might not have "allowed_values" setting and options can be provided through the "allowed_values_function".
Live examples:
Case #1: You have an entity object and want to get a label of the value of the field with options.
$field_name = 'field_state'; /** @var \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldStorageDefinitionInterface $field_definition */ $field_definition = $entity->{$field_name}->getFieldDefinition()->getFieldStorageDefinition(); // This is a list (array) of options for the field definition: // [{option1_key} => {option1_value}, {option2_key} => {option2_value}, ...] $field_allowed_options = options_allowed_values($field_definition, $entity); // If the field is NOT multiple. /** @var string|\Drupal\Component\Render\MarkupInterface $field_value_label */ $field_value_label = $field_allowed_options[$entity->{$field_name}->value]; // If the field is multiple. $field_value = array_column($entity->{$field_name}->getValue(), 'value', 'value'); /** @var string[]|\Drupal\Component\Render\MarkupInterface[] $field_value_labels */ $field_value_labels = array_intersect_key($field_allowed_options, $field_value); Case #2: You don't have an entity object but you want to get a list of all allowed options of the field of the entity.
$entity_type_id = 'node'; $field_name = 'field_state'; $entity_fields_definitions = \Drupal::service('entity_field.manager')->getFieldStorageDefinitions($entity_type_id); /** @var \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldStorageDefinitionInterface $field_definition */ $field_definition = $entity_fields_definitions[$field_name]; $field_allowed_options = options_allowed_values($field_definition); This might help as well:
$node->field_state->getFieldDefinition()->getSetting('allowed_values'); On Drupal 8 you can use the view() method which will render the field, so you can use its markup:
$rendered_state_field = $entity->get('field_state')->view(['label' => 'hidden']); then, the path to the label of the selected value should be:
$rendered_state_field[0]['#markup'] If you want to use it in a twig, then you can simply pass $rendered_state_field as a variable.
drupal 7 way:
$jid = $row->job_id_181; if($jid) { $jobNode = node_load($params['jid']); $key = $jobNode->field_job_location['und'][0]['value'];//2 if($key) { $field = field_info_field('field_job_location'); $label = $field['settings']['allowed_values'][$key]; echo $label; } } Hope it helps some one in future.
