* @defgroup views_overview Views overview
* @{
* Overview of the Views module API
*
* The Views module is a generalized query and display engine, which can be used
* to make views (formatted lists, grids, feeds, and other output) of items
* (often entities, but can be other types of data). Developers can interact
* with Views in several ways:
* - Provide plugins: Views plugins govern nearly every aspect of views,
* including querying (sorting, filtering, etc.) and display (at several
* levels of granularity, ranging from the entire view to the details of a
* field). See the @link views_plugins Views plugins topic @endlink for
* more information.
* - Provide data: Data types can be provided to Views by implementing
* hook_views_data(), and data types provided by other modules can be altered
* by implementing hook_views_data_alter(). To provide views data for an
* entity, create a class implementing
* \Drupal\views\EntityViewsDataInterface and reference this in the
* "views_data" annotation in the entity class. You can autogenerate big parts
* of the integration if you extend the \Drupal\views\EntityViewsData base
* class. See the @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for more
* information about entities.
* - Implement hooks: A few operations in Views can be influenced by hooks.
* See the @link views_hooks Views hooks topic @endlink for a list.
* - Theming: See the @link views_templates Views templates topic @endlink
* for more information.

// itself.
$data['example_table']['table'] = array();
// Within 'table', the value of 'group' (translated string) is used as a
// prefix in Views UI for this table's fields, filters, etc. When adding
// a field, filter, etc. you can also filter by the group.

// Within 'table', the value of 'provider' is the module that provides schema
// or the entity type that causes the table to exist. Setting this ensures
// that views have the correct dependencies. This is automatically set to the
// module that implements hook_views_data().
$data['example_table']['table']['provider'] = 'example_module';
// Some tables are "base" tables, meaning that they can be the base tables
// for views. Non-base tables can only be brought in via relationships in
// views based on other tables. To define a table to be a base table, add
// key 'base' to the 'table' array:
$data['example_table']['table']['base'] = array(
// Identifier (primary) field in this table for Views.

// Some tables have an implicit, automatic relationship to other tables,
// meaning that when the other table is available in a view (either as the
// base table or through a relationship), this table's fields, filters, etc.
// are automatically made available without having to add an additional
// relationship. To define an implicit relationship that will make your
// table automatically available when another table is present, add a 'join'
// section to your 'table' section. Note that it is usually only a good idea
// to do this for one-to-one joins, because otherwise your automatic join
// will add more rows to the view. It is also not a good idea to do this if
// most views won't need your table -- if that is the case, define a
// relationship instead (see the field section below).
//
// If you've decided an automatic join is a good idea, here's how to do it:

// join to. In this example, every time 'node' is available in a view,
// 'example_table' will be too. The array keys here are the array keys
// for the other tables, given in their hook_views_data() implementations.
// If the table listed here is from another module's hook_views_data()
// implementation, make sure your module depends on that other module.

0 => array(

// The operator used, Defaults to "=".
'operator' => '!=',
),

// Other array elements at the top level of your table's array describe
// individual database table fields made available to Views. The array keys
// are the names (unique within the table) used by Views for the fields,
// usually equal to the database field names.
//

// argument, or contextual filter as it is known in the UI.
// - area: Specifies a handler to make it available to Views to add content
// to the header, footer, or as no result behavior.
