Change the Views paragraph type [2h]

[isapisa]

Issue

As part of Drupal Starter we now have the views paragraph type part of a landing page CT. However, until we defined possible views to reference/select, this is causing confusion, errors for QA.
Can we change this in D starter?

Solution:
We can change this to pre-defined selection of views, and only allow Embed types, which is what we end up doing on most projects

To Do

• Implement ^^ for drupal starter

@isapisa this is now done for Drupal-starter.

Right now a content admin needs to select a View and then the display (e.g. Embed). IMO This requires too much knowledge from the content editor.

How about changing the select list to hold only the Views that have an Embed display? And if a certain View has several embeds it can appear in the name. So for example a list could look like this:

• Recent events
• Recent news
• Publications (Embed1)
• Publications (Another display name of an Embed)

@isapisa @bboro Thought of it a bit more. Maybe we don't need this Paragraph type at all - is there a real use case for it, where we don't reach out to custom code? If needed the custom code could call views for us - but right now it's likely going to be confusing for a content editor, when to use this paragraph type.

@amitaibu and instead we'd just have a paragraph type called Recent events ?

[amitaibu]

Yes. Recent events, Recent news, ...

[isapisa]

sounds good to me

@isapisa @amitaibu can this be closed?

[isapisa]

@bboro don't know, as far as I know this hasn't been done in DS, but only on recent projects?

[amitaibu]

If there's still a Views paragraph on DS we should remove it, in favor of specific paragaph types (e.g. Recent news). By removing the generic names, content editors can find what they need with more ease.
