Facets Summary

When to Use

Use this guide when you want to display active facet selections as removable breadcrumbs — "Color: Blue (x) | Size: Large (x) | Reset all".

Decision

Module: facets_summary Entity: FacetsSummary (config entity) Admin: /admin/config/search/facets/facet-summary/add

Summary processors:

ID	Title	Purpose
show_summary_processor	Show a summary of active items	Display selected filter values
show_count_processor	Show result count	Display total results matching filters
show_text_when_empty_processor	Show text when empty	Message when no filters are active
reset_facets_processor	Reset all filters	Add a "Reset all" link

Alternative: The Facets docs recommend views_filters_summary as a replacement for facets_summary. It works with any Views filter (not just facets) and integrates with the exposed filters approach.

Pattern

drush en facets_summary

1. Go to /admin/config/search/facets
2. Click "Add facet summary"
3. Select the facet source
4. Enable processors (show summary, reset, etc.)
5. Place the summary block in your layout

Common Mistakes

• Wrong: Using facets_summary with the exposed filters approach → Right: For exposed filters, prefer views_filters_summary — it integrates natively with the Views exposed form.
