Step 2: Clicking on +Add new view redirects to “Add new view” page.
The page has View Basic information fieldset that contain View name and Description.

Section 2 has VIEW SETTING which has option to  show, type, and sorted by.
Where, Show means what would you like to Display, Comment, Log entries, Files, Content, Content revision, Taxonomy Terms, Users, Link Count, Custom block revision or Custom block.

Of type holds bundle type either Article, Basic page, custom content type or All.
Sorted by – How do you wants to sort? Sorting by Newest first, Oldest first, or by title; these are the initial level sorting options. Later on you will get more and more sorting criteria e.g.: by author name.

The Addition of new view also carries PAGE SETTINGS & BLOCK SETTINGS.
Once you check on “Create a page”, this will open up page configuration section which, includes page title, page path, Display format, item to be displayed, with three additional option.

  • use a pager.
  • create a menu link &
  • include an RSS feed.

Step 3: Once you have saved the view page data, page will be redirected to view Display configuration section having page and block UI.

Just like Drupal 7 views contrib module, Drupal 8 views also has similar UI.

As we can see here view has multiple configuration.

Title : set the title for view page.
Format: How data has to be displayed on the site.
Fields: what are  fields you would like to display.
Filter criteria: allow filter by type as well as option to  expose the same.
Sort criteria:  sorting of field date ascending or descending manner.
page Settings: set the page path, assign to menu if required, view permission.
Header: custom header for the view page.
Footer: custom footer for the view page.
No Result Behaviour: In case if view query fetches no data or empty set, we can set option to override and display custom message to user e.g. no search result available, please try again.
Pager: allow site to create pagination on view page.
Advanced: As the label suggest, this section has advanced  options like CONTEXTUAL FILTERS , RELATIONSHIPS, EXPOSED FORM, OTHER etc.

You can check my previous blog post on how to use contextual filters in Drupal 8 for mode details.

views_contextual_filterNow, let’s start with view page configuration.

We will add a filter to display only content from news.

To add a filter go to FILTER CRITERIA section and click on Add button. This will show pop up box, where you can search by Type or search by name. As we are filtering based on content type this can be done in two ways –

  1.  Select Content in Type dropdown and search for Type.
  2.  Write type in Search box and select appropriate.

Select the checkbox next to Type and click on Apply (all displays).
