  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted an improved token browser that loads quickly and doesn't have a depth limit? There's a module for that.
  • Module name/project name:
    • Token Browser
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Nov 2025 by Andy Marquis (apmsooner)
    • https://talkingdrupal.com/505
    • Versions available: 1.0.0 which works with Drupal core 11.3 or newer
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained
    • Security coverage
    • Test coverage
    • Number of open issues: 2 open issues, 1 of which is a bug
  • Usage stats:
    • 3 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • The Token Browser module provides a rebuilt version of the standard token browser. Notably, it only renders the first level during the initial request, and then requests deeper levels as needed using all the latest HTMX improvements in Drupal core 11.3
    • It's worth noting that the initial version requires an alternative theme function be attached to form elements where you want to use the new Token Browser, so it doesn't actually replace the standard version
    • Also, there seems to be an issue where the HTMX library doesn't load on cached pages, which is the one open issue. I pinged Andy about it and it sounds like he has a fix in the works.
    • Finally, this module is similar to an older module called Fast Token Browser, but that module was never updated to work with versions of Drupal newer than 7, and relied on jQuery for its AJAX functionality
