Overview
Render Arrays are the building blocks of a Drupal page. A render array is an associative array which conforms to the standards and data structures used in Drupal's Render API. The Render API is also integrated with the Theme API.
In many cases, the data used to build a page (and all parts of it) is kept as structured arrays until the final stage of generating a response. This provides enormous flexibility in extending, slightly altering or completely overriding parts of the page.
Render arrays are nested and thus form a tree. Consider them Drupal's "render tree" --- Drupal's equivalent of the DOM.
Note: While render arrays and arrays used by the Form API share elements, properties and structure, many properties on form elements only have meaning for the Form API, not for the Render API. Form API arrays are transformed into render arrays by FormBuilder. Passing an unprocessed Form API array to the Render API may yield unexpected results.
Here is a simple render array that displays some text.
php
$my_render_array['some_item'] = [
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => "This is a test",
];All forms are Render arrays. This is important when need to use the form API to create forms.
This is mostly from https://www.drupal.org/docs/drupal-apis/render-api/render-arrays
Overview of the Theme system and Render API.
The main purpose of Drupal's Theme system is to give themes complete control over the appearance of the site, which includes the markup returned from HTTP requests and the CSS files used to style that markup. In order to ensure that a theme can completely customize the markup, module developers should avoid directly writing HTML markup for pages, blocks, and other user-visible output in their modules, and instead return structured "render arrays". Doing this also increases usability, by ensuring that the markup used for similar functionality on different areas of the site is the same, which gives users fewer user interface patterns to learn.

Caching
You can specify caching information when creating render arrays. Cache keys, cache contexts, cache tags and cache max-age can all be defined.
The Drupal rendering process has the ability to cache rendered output at any level in a render array hierarchy. This allows expensive calculations to be done infrequently, and speeds up page loading. See the Cache API topic for general information about the cache system.
In order to make caching possible, the following information needs to be present:
- Cache keys: Identifiers for cacheable portions of render arrays. These should be created and added for portions of a render array that involve expensive calculations in the rendering process.
- Cache contexts: Contexts that may affect rendering, such as user role and language. When no context is specified, it means that the render array does not vary by any context.
- Cache tags: Tags for data that rendering depends on, such as for individual nodes or user accounts, so that when these change the cache can be automatically invalidated. If the data consists of entities, you can use \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface::getCacheTags() to generate appropriate tags; configuration objects have a similar method.
- Cache max-age: The maximum duration for which a render array maybe cached. Defaults to \Drupal\Core\Cache\Cache::PERMANENT (permanently cacheable).
Cache information is provided in the #cache property in a render array. In this property, always supply the cache contexts, tags, and max-age if a render array varies by context, depends on some modifiable data, or depends on information that's only valid for a limited time, respectively. Cache keys should only be set on the portions of a render array that should be cached. Contexts are automatically replaced with the value for the current request (e.g. the current language) and combined with the keys to form a cache ID. The cache contexts, tags, and max-age will be propagated up the render array hierarchy to determine cacheability for containing render array sections.
Here's an example of what a #cache property might contain:
php
'#cache' => [
'keys' => ['entity_view', 'node', $node->id()],
'contexts' => ['languages'],
'tags' => $node->getCacheTags(),
'max-age' => Cache::PERMANENT,
],At the response level, you'll see X-Drupal-Cache-Contexts and X-Drupal-Cache-Tags headers.
Reproduced from the [Render API overview on Drupal.org] (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!lib!Drupal!Core!Render!theme.api.php/group/theme_render/10.0.x)
More on caching
Properties
Elements that start with # are properties and can include the following: #type, #theme, #markup, #prefix, #suffix, #plain_text or #allowed_tags.
Render arrays (at any level of the hierarchy) will usually have one of the following properties defined:
- #type: Specifies that the array contains data and options for a particular type of "render element" (for example, 'form', for an HTML form; 'textfield', 'submit', for HTML form element types; 'table', for a table with rows, columns, and headers). See Render elements below for more on render element types.
- #theme: Specifies that the array contains data to be themed by a particular theme hook. Modules define theme hooks by implementing hook_theme(), which specifies the input "variables" used to provide data and options; if a hook_theme() implementation specifies variable 'foo', then in a render array, you would provide this data using property '#foo'. Modules implementing hook_theme() also need to provide a default implementation for each of their theme hooks, normally in a Twig file. For more information and to discover available theme hooks, see the documentation of hook_theme() and the Default theme implementations topic.
- #markup: Specifies that the array provides HTML markup directly. Unless the markup is very simple, such as an explanation in a paragraph tag, it is normally preferable to use #theme or #type instead, so that the theme can customize the markup. Note that the value is passed through \Drupal\Component\Utility\Xss::filterAdmin(), which strips known XSS vectors while allowing a permissive list of HTML tags that are not XSS vectors. (For example, <script> and <style> are not allowed.) See \Drupal\Component\Utility\Xss::$adminTags for the list of allowed tags. If your markup needs any of the tags not in this list, then you can implement a theme hook and/or an asset library. Alternatively, you can use the key #allowed_tags to alter which tags are filtered.
- #plain_text: Specifies that the array provides text that needs to be escaped. This value takes precedence over #markup.
- #allowed_tags: If #markup is supplied, this can be used to change which tags are allowed in the markup. The value is an array of tags that Xss::filter() would accept. If #plain_text is set, this value is ignored.
Usage example:
php
$output['admin_filtered_string'] = [
'#markup' => '<em>This is filtered using the admin tag list</em>',
];
$output['filtered_string'] = [
'#markup' => '<video><source src="v.webm" type="video/webm"></video>',
'#allowed_tags' => [
'video',
'source',
],
];
$output['escaped_string'] = [
'#plain_text' => '<em>This is escaped</em>',
];JavaScript and CSS assets are specified in the render array using the #attached property (see Attaching libraries in render arrays).
And
php
$variables['content']['field_image']['#suffix'] = "this is a suffix to the image";Or
php
$variables['content']['custom_field']= ['#type'=>'markup', '#markup'=>'Hello World'];You can make up your own properties e.g. see the #selwyn_id below for use elsewhere.
php
$citation_nid = 25;
$form['actions']['accept'] = [
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => $this->t("Accept Citation $citation_nid"),
'#citation_nid' => $citation_nid,
'#voting_action' => 'Accept',
'#name' => "accept_citation_$citation_nid",
'#selwyn_id' => ['edit-accept-' . $citation_nid],
'#attributes' => [
'class' => [
'hilited-button',
'blue-button',
],
'id' => ['edit-accept-' . $citation_nid],
],
];Image
php
$image = [
'#theme'=>'image',
'#uri' => 'public://photo.jpg',
'#alt' => 'hello'
];Simple Text
php
$text_array = [
'#markup' => $this->t('Hello world!'),
];Text with variable substitution (Placeholders)
To pass parameters to the t() function, use the @ symbol. For example:
php
$render_array = [
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => $this->t('You are viewing @title. Unfortunately there is no image defined for delta: @delta.', ['@title' => $node->getTitle(), '@delta' =>$delta)],
];Also, you can use the :variable, for use specifically with URLs. The :variable placeholder is escaped with \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape() and filtered for dangerous protocols using UrlHelper::stripDangerousProtocols().
And from the Render API Overview at https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!lib!Drupal!Core!Render!theme.api.php/group/theme_render/10.0.x :
Placeholders in render arrays
Render arrays have a placeholder mechanism, which can be used to add data into the render array late in the rendering process. This works in a similar manner to the core FormattableMarkup::placeholderFormat() function(), with the text that ends up in the #markup property of the element at the end of the rendering process getting substitutions from placeholders that are stored in the 'placeholders' element of the #attached property.
For example, after the rest of the rendering process was done, if your render array contained:
php
$build['my_element'] = [
'#markup' => 'Something about @foo',
'#attached' => [
'placeholders' => [
'@foo' => ['#markup' => 'replacement'],
],
];then #markup would end up containing 'Something about replacement'.
Note that each placeholder value *must* itself be a render array. It will be rendered, and any cache tags generated during rendering will be added to the cache tags for the markup.
Wrap an element with a div with a class
php
$ra['list'][$customer]['name'] = [
'#prefix' => '<div class="customer-name">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => $customer['name'],
];Prefix and suffix
php
$ra['#prefix'] = '<div id="option-landing-block">';
$ra['#suffix'] = '</div>';Date
To create a date object and return the year in a render array, use this code. Here is the code from a block build method:
php
public function build() {
$date = new \DateTime();
return [
'#markup' => t('Copyright @year© My Company', [
'@year' => $date->format('Y'),
]), ];
}This uses Drupal\Core\Datetime\DrupalDateTime which is just a wrapper for \DateTime.
Image
Load an image and display it with the alt text
php
public function displayProductImage(NodeInterface $node, $delta) {
if (isset($node->field_product_image[$delta])) {
$imageData = $node->field_product_image[$delta]->getValue();
$file = File::load($imageData['target_id']);
$render_array['image_data'] = array(
'#theme' => 'image_style',
'#uri' => $file->getFileUri(),
'#style_name' => 'product_large',
'#alt' => $imageData['alt'],
);
}Several Url's.
This queries for some nodes, generate a list of url's and returns them as a render array. The '#list_type' => 'ol' (or ordered list)
php
use Drupal\Core\Url;
public function build(){
$result = $this->nodeStorage->getQuery()
->accessCheck(TRUE)
->condition('type', 'water_action')
->condition('status', '1')
->range(0, $this->configuration['block_count'])
->sort('title', 'ASC')
->execute();
if ($result) {
//Only display block if there are items to show.
$items = $this->nodeStorage->loadMultiple($result);
$build['list'] = [
'#theme' => 'item_list',
'#items' => [],
];
foreach ($items as $item) {
$translatedItem = $this->entityRepository->getTranslationFromContext($item);
$nid = $item->id();
$url = Url::fromUri("internal:/node/$nid");
$build['list']['#items'][$item->id()] = [
'#title' => $translatedItem->label(),
'#type' => 'link',
'#url' => $url,
];
}Two paragraphs
php
$rArray = [
'first_para' => [
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => '...para 1 here....<br>',
],
'second_para' => [
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => '...para 2 here....<br>',
],
];
return $rArray;A button that opens a modal dialog
php
use Drupal\Core\Url;
public function build() {
$link_url = Url::fromRoute('custom_modal.modal');
$link_url->setOptions([
'attributes' => [
'class' => ['use-ajax', 'button', 'button--small'],
'data-dialog-type' => 'modal',
'data-dialog-options' => Json::encode(['width' => 400]),
]
]);
return [
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => Link::fromTextAndUrl(t('Open modal'), $link_url)->toString(),
'#attached' => ['library' => ['core/drupal.dialog.ajax']]
];A link
Here is a simple link
use Drupal\Core\Url;
php
$form['noaccount'] = [
'#type' => 'link',
'#title' => $this->t('Continue without account'),
'#url' => Url::fromRoute('<front>'),
];Other possible urls:
php
'#url' => Url::fromUri('internal:/dashboard'),
'#url' => Url::fromUri('internal:/node/360'),
'#url' => Url::fromUri('mailto:' . $value),A link with a class
Here we add the #attributes to wrap the link in the classes: button, button-action, button--primary, and button--small:
php
$form['button'] = [
'#type' => 'link',
'#url' => Url::fromUri('internal:/dashboard'),
'#title' => $this->t('Go to My Training'),
'#attributes' => ['class' => ['button', 'button-action', 'button--primary', 'button--small']],
],A link and its TWIG template
Here is a link with the details of what you expect to see in the TWIG template:
php
use Drupal\Core\Url;
$back_home_link = [
'#type' => 'link',
'#title' => $this->t('Continue without account'),
'#url' => Url::fromRoute('<front>'),
];
$variables['back_home_link'] = $back_home_linkand in the template you would expect to see something like:
twig
{{ content.back_home_link }}A link with parameters and a template file
This path takes a 4 parameters. Here is its path as defined in the routing.yml file:
yaml
team_abc.correctional_voting:
path: '/team/abc/admin//program/{program}/expectation/{expectation}/correlation/{correlation}/{action}/{type}'
defaults:
_controller: '\Drupal\team_abc\Controller\CorrelationVotingController::content'
_title: 'Correctional Voting'
requirements:
_permission: 'manage voting process'
options:
parameters:
program:
type: entity:node
expectation:
type: entity:node
correlation:
type: entity:node
no_cache: 'TRUE'Note the options in the routing.yml file which automatically convert the node ids to actual entities (Drupal loads the nodes internally) and passes those to the controller.
Then in the controller, we build a URL, specifying the parameters:
php
$url = Url::fromRoute('team_abc.correctional_voting', [
'program' => $program->id(),
'expectation' => $next_breakout_path_item['expectation_nid'],
'correlation' => $next_breakout_path_item['correlation_nid'],
'action' => 'vote',
'type' => 'narrative'
]);
$next_breakout = [
'#type' => 'link',
'#title' => t('Next Breakout'),
'#url' => $url,
];
// ...
$next_links[] = $next_breakout;Then we wrap up all the variables and send them to buildDetails
php
$content = [
// ...
'program' => $program_info,
'previous_links' => $previous_links,
'next_links' => $next_links,
'expectation_cfitem_text' => strip_tags($expectation_cfitem_text),
];
return $this->buildDetails($content, $breadcrumbs, $management_links, $correlation_info, $citations);
}Which wraps the content in an array for rendering in twig. Note below that the #theme property which identifies the template filename. The #theme: team_abc__correctional_voting translates to the twig template file: team-abc--correctional-voting.html.twig where the underscores become dashes.
php
public function buildDetails(array $content, array $breadcrumbs, array $management_links, array $correlation_info, array $citations): array {
return [
'#theme' => 'team_abc__correctional_voting',
'#content' => $content,
'#breadcrumbs' => $breadcrumbs,
'#management_links' => $management_links,
'#correlation' => $correlation_info,
'#citations' => $citations,
];
}Then in team-abc--correctional-voting.html.twig the next links are rendered -- see {{ next_link }}
twig
<div class="cell small-12 medium-6">
{% raw %}{% if content.next_links %}
<ul class="no-bullet nav-links prev">
{% for next_link in content.next_links %}
Move mouse below for Next invisible links<li>{{ next_link }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}{% endraw %}
</div>This example may be a little confusing as it loops through an array of links.
A string with a mailto link
php
$build['message'] = [
'#missing_file_message' => $this->t("We're sorry, we are currently unable to locate the required file. Please contact <a href=':link'>webdude@example.com</a> for additional assistance.", [
':link' => 'mailto:webdude@example.com?subject=Website%20Assistance',
]),
];Simple unordered list
This is a simple unordered list. The #list_type is ul for unordered list. The #items is an array of items. The #title is the title of the list. The #attributes causes the list to have the class mylist.
php
$content = [
'#theme' => 'item_list',
'#list_type' => 'ul',
'#title' => 'My List',
'#items' => ['item 1', 'item 2'],
'#attributes' => ['class' => 'mylist'],
];More at https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/214928/create-unordered-list-in-render-array
Here is a complete function as used in a controller. This function returns an unordered list of recipe nodes. The list is sorted by the date created and the title of the node is displayed along with the node id. The list has the class recipe-list:
php
public function test1(): array {
$node_storage = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('node');
// Build a query to load all recipe nodes.
$query = $node_storage->getQuery()
->condition('type', 'recipe')
->condition('status', 1)
->sort('created', 'DESC')
->accessCheck(FALSE);
// Get the NIDs of the nodes.
$nids = $query->execute();
// Load the nodes.
$nodes = $node_storage->loadMultiple($nids);
$items = [];
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
$items[] = $node->getTitle() . ' (' . $node->id() . ')';
}
// Unordered list
$build['content'] = [
'#theme' => 'item_list',
'#list_type' => 'ul',
'#items' => $items,
'#attributes' => [
'class' => 'recipe-list',
],
];
return $build;
}Here is web/core/themes/olivero/templates/dataset/item-list.html.twig which is the default template for an item list. This is the template that is used to render the list. You can override this template in your theme to change the appearance of the list. The available variables show all the various items that can be used in the template.

['#markup' => '<ul><li>item1</li><li>item2</li><li>item3</li></ul>',],
],
];Select (dropdown)
To build a select element, fill an array with some keys and text labels. The text labels will appear in the dropdown.
To set the default value i.e. the value that appears in the dropdown when it is first displayed, specify the key. For example: If the contents of the dropdown are an array like ['aaa', 'vvv', 'zzz'] then you can specify $default=2 to display zzz as the default.
In the example below, the default is set to /node/364 and the dropdown will display Above ground pool 1, Above ground pool 2 etc.
php
// Select element.
$options = [
'/node/360' =>'Above ground pool 1',
'/node/362' =>'Above ground pool 2',
'/node/364' =>'Underground pool',
'/node/359' =>'Patio pool',
];
// Set the default value - it must be the key.
$default = '/node/364';
$form['select'] = [
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => $this->t('Select video'),
'#description' => 'Test Description',
'#default_value' => $default,
'#options' => $options,
];Select (dropdown) Ajaxified
Often sites need select elements that do some action e.g. redirect when the user makes a selection in the dropdown. Here is one example such a select element. I populate the $options with the result of a database query. When the user changes the selection in the dropdown, it calls the callback videoSelectChange(). The callback redirects to the URL in question using the $command = new RedirectComand();
php
$form['select'] = [
'#type' => 'select',
// '#title' => $this->t('Select video'),
'#description' => 'Test Description',
'#default_value' => $default,
'#options' => $options,
'#ajax' => [
'callback' => [$this, 'videoSelectChange'],
'event' => 'change',
'wrapper' => $ajax_wrapper,
],
];
/**
* Callback function for changes to the select elements.
*
*/
public function videoSelectChange(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$values = $form_state->getValues();
$elem = $form_state->getTriggeringElement();
$response = new AjaxResponse();
$url = Url::fromUri('internal:' . $values[$elem["#name"]]);
$command = new RedirectCommand($url->toString());
$response->addCommand($command);
return $response;
}Table of menu items
This emulates the Drupal core menu listing with the menu items in a table with the columns: Title, Description, and Operations and is used in the build() function of a block:
php
/**

public function build(): array {
$uid = $this->currentUser->id();
$user = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('user')->load($uid);
// Load all menus.
$menus = $this->menuStorage->loadMultiple();
$accessible_menus = [];
foreach ($menus as $menu_id => $menu) {
$access = $this->checkSections($menu, $user);
if ($access) {
$edit_url = Url::fromRoute('entity.menu.edit_form', ['menu' => $menu_name]);

'edit' => [
'title' => $this->t('Edit'),
'url' => $edit_url,
],
'add_link' => [
'title' => $this->t('Add link'),
'url' => $add_link_url,

],
];
}
}

'#header' => [$this->t('Title'), $this->t('Description'), $this->t('Operations')],
'#rows' => $rows,
'#empty' => $this->t('No menus available.'),
];
return $build;
}For completeness, here is the checkSections() function which was borrowed (and slightly modified) from the Workbench Menu Access module:
php
/**

*
* @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity
* The entity to check.
* @param \Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface $account
* The user account.

* TRUE if the user has access, FALSE otherwise.
*/
protected function checkSections(EntityInterface $entity, AccountInterface $account) {
static $check;
// Internal cache for performance.
$key = $entity->id() . ':' . $account->id();
if (!isset($check[$key])) {
// By default, ignore menus that don't explicitly have permissions.
$check[$key] = FALSE;
// Check for admin role.
if ($account->hasPermission('administer workbench menu access') || $account->hasPermission('bypass workbench access')) {
return TRUE;
}
$config = $this->configFactory->get('workbench_menu_access.settings');
$active = $config->get('access_scheme');
$settings = $entity->getThirdPartySetting('workbench_menu_access', 'access_scheme');
if (!is_null($active) && !is_null($settings)) {
/** @var \Drupal\workbench_access\Entity\AccessSchemeInterface $scheme */
$scheme = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('access_scheme')->load($active);
$user_sections = $this->userSectionStorage->getUserSections($scheme, $account);
// Check children / parents.
$check[$key] = $this->workbenchAccessManager::checkTree($scheme, $settings, $user_sections);
}
}
return $check[$key];
}If you just want a list of links, you can use the following code:
php
//...
if ($access) {
$url = Url::fromRoute('entity.menu.edit_form', ['menu' => $menu_name]);
$link = Link::fromTextAndUrl($menu->label(), $url)->toRenderable();
$accessible_menus[] = $link;
//...
$build['content'] = [
'#theme' => 'item_list',
'#items' => $accessible_menus,
];
return $build;List of menus with a pager
This code is implemented in a block build() function. It displays a list of menus with a pager. The menus are sorted by their labels. The menus are displayed in a table with the columns: Title, Description, and Operations. The menus are displayed 10 at a time. If there are more than 10 menus, a pager is displayed at the bottom of the table. The URL is modified to display the page number when the user clicks on the pager.
php
public function build(): array {
$uid = $this->currentUser->id();
$user = $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('user')->load($uid);
// Load all menus.
$menus = $this->menuStorage->loadMultiple();
$rows = [];
$accessibleMenus = [];
$itemsPerPage = 10;

}Limit allowed tags in markup
Here we allow <i> (italics) tags in the login menu item, and <i> and <sup> (superscript) tags in the logout menu item
php
/**
* Implements hook_preprocess_menu().
*/
function postal_theme_preprocess_menu(&$vars, $hook) {
if ($hook == 'menu__account') {
$items = $vars['items'];
foreach ($items as $key => $item) {
if ($key == 'user.page') {
$vars['items'][$key]['title'] = [
'#markup' => 'Log the <i>flock</i><sup>TM</sup> in!',
'#allowed_tags' => ['i'],
];
}
if ($key == 'user.logout') {
$vars['items'][$key]['title'] = [
'#markup' => 'Log the <i>flock</i> <sup>TM</sup>out!',
'#allowed_tags' => ['i', 'sup'],
];
}
}
}
}Disable an element
In this example the accept button is disabled when $my_current_vote is accepted.
php
$form['accept'] = [
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => $value,
'#name' => "accept_$feedback_error_nid",
'#voting_action' => 'accepted',
'#prefix' => '<div class="srp-vote-form">',
'#id' => 'edit-accept-' . $feedback_error_nid,
'#attributes' => [
'class' => [
'hilited-button',
'blue-button',
'accept-button',
],
],
];
if (strtolower($my_current_vote) == 'accepted') {
$form['accept']['#attributes']['class'][] = 'selected';
$form['reject']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
}
