Overview

Drupal Views is a powerful Drupal feature for creating and managing custom lists of content on a website. Views can be used to improve the organization and presentation of your content. Views are used to retrieve and display a set of content items, such as pages, articles, or products, based on specified criteria, such as the content type, the date, or the taxonomy terms. They can be customized with different filters, sorting, and pagination options to control which content items are included in the list, and how they are displayed. Views can also be customized with different fields, formatters, and styles to control the appearance and layout of the content items in the list.
