  3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Render/Renderer.php \Drupal\Core\Render\Renderer::replacePlaceholders()

Replaces placeholders.

Placeholders may have:

  • #lazy_builder callback, to build a render array to be rendered into markup that can replace the placeholder
  • #cache: to cache the result of the placeholder

Also merges the bubbleable metadata resulting from the rendering of the contents of the placeholders. Hence $elements will be contain the entirety of bubbleable metadata.

@returns bool Whether placeholders were replaced.

Parameters

array &$elements: The structured array describing the data being rendered. Including the bubbleable metadata associated with the markup that replaced the placeholders.

Code

protected function replacePlaceholders(array &$elements) {
    if (!isset($elements['#attached']['placeholders']) || empty($elements['#attached']['placeholders'])) {
        return FALSE;
    }
    // The 'status messages' placeholder needs to be special cased, because it
    // depends on global state that can be modified when other placeholders are
    // being rendered: any code can add messages to render.
    // This violates the principle that each lazy builder must be able to render
    // itself in isolation, and therefore in any order. However, we cannot
    // change the way \Drupal\Core\Messenger\Messenger works in the Drupal 8
    // cycle. So we have to accommodate its special needs.
    // Allowing placeholders to be rendered in a particular order (in this case:
    // last) would violate this isolation principle. Thus a monopoly is granted
    // to this one special case, with this hard-coded solution.
    // @see \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\StatusMessages
    // @see https://www.drupal.org/node/2712935#comment-11368923
    // First render all placeholders except 'status messages' placeholders.
    $message_placeholders = [];
