function views_views_data_alter

Same name in other branches
  1. 9 core/modules/views/views.views.inc \views_views_data_alter()
  2. 8.9.x core/modules/views/views.views.inc \views_views_data_alter()
  3. 11.x core/modules/views/views.views.inc \views_views_data_alter()

Implements hook_views_data_alter().

Field modules can implement hook_field_views_data_views_data_alter() to alter the views data on a per field basis. This is weirdly named so as not to conflict with the \Drupal::moduleHandler()->alter('field_views_data') in views_views_data().
