Alters named suggestions for a specific theme hook.

This hook allows any module or theme to provide alternative template name suggestions and reorder or remove suggestions provided by hook_theme_suggestions_HOOK() or by earlier invocations of this hook.

HOOK is the least-specific version of the hook being called. For example, if '#theme' => 'node__article' is called, then node_theme_suggestions_node() will be invoked, not node_theme_suggestions_node__article(). The specific hook called (in this case 'node__article') is available in $variables['theme_hook_original'].

New suggestions must begin with the value of HOOK, followed by two underscores to be discoverable. For example, consider the below suggestions from hook_theme_suggestions_node_alter:

  • node__article is valid
  • node__article__custom_template is valid
  • node--article is invalid
  • article__custom_template is invalid

Implementations of this hook must be placed in *.module or *.theme files, or must otherwise make sure that the hook implementation is available at any given time.

In the following example, we provide an alternative template suggestion to node templates based on the user being logged in.

function MY_MODULE_theme_suggestions_node_alter(array &$suggestions, array $variables) {
    if (\Drupal::currentUser()->isAuthenticated()) {
        $suggestions[] = 'node__logged_in';
    }
}

Parameters

array $suggestions: An array of theme suggestions, passed by reference.

array $variables: An array of variables passed to the theme hook, passed by reference. Note that this hook is invoked before any preprocessing.
