Provides an API to duplicate / clone an entity.
Replicate provides a main cloning function, along with several hooks to control
exactly how a field or entity is duplicated based on its type, add info after
cloning, and supports custom fields and entities. It is intended to developers
and does not contain any GUI (a dedicated module is available).
The goal is to provide a way to easily clone any entity, and to allow
developers to be able to control exactly how entities are replicated, based
on their type or the fields they contain, and to be able to easily extend the
replication control to custom fields or entities.
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
Usage
- Use the
replicate_clone_entity()function to clone an entity without
saving it. - Use the
replicate_entity()function to clone an entity and save it at the
end of the process. - See the
replicate.api.phpfile for detailed use of hooks functions.
