Accessing individual fields in Drupal 8 views templates

drupal-8, templating, twig, view

Solution

I have figured a way using kint.

Inside your views-view-unformatted.html.twig use the following code to display your individual fields:

{% for row in rows %}

{{ row.content['#view'].style_plugin.render_tokens[ loop.index0 ]['{{ YOUR_FIELD_NAME }}'] }}

{% endfor %}

Problem

I'm having trouble doing something that I think should be relatively simple drupal 8 views. I have a content type called Countries. I would like to display the 3 latest country nodes on my homepage in a views block. Each country is displayed with the class "views-row" on the container div. I am using views--view--unformatted--countries--block_1.tpl to template the output. I would like to output something like the following markup: ``` <a class="view-row-1" href="/link/to/node"> <img src="source-of-teaser-image.png"> <h3>Title of node</h3> </a> <a class="view-row-2" href="/link/to/node"> <img src="source-of-teaser-image.png"> <h3>Title of node</h3> </a> <a class="view-row-3" href="/link/to/node"> <img src="source-of-teaser-image.png"> <h3>Title of node</h3> </a> ``` The problem I'm having is accessing individual fields in the template. If I use a view mode, I can access individual fields. If I select "show fields" in the view, I can add a field for "view result counter" and "path", which would allow me to add the "view-row-N" class and link the a tag to the node, but I can't get access to the fields individually. I have the {{row.content}} variable, but any attempt to dig further into the variable (eg row.content.field_name) gives me nothing and calling a {{dump(row.content)}} crashes the website. I can't output this as a view mode for 2 reasons. I don't have access to the "view result counter" or "path" fields in a view mode and, even if I had these variables, some fields would be nested inside others (The image and title are nested inside the ) I feel this should really be as simple as ``` <a class="view-row-{{ row.content.view_result_counter }}" href="{{ row.content.path }}"> ``` etc but I've tried everything I can think of. Am I completely on the wrong path? Twig and I are not getting along so far...
