function hook_tokens

Provide replacement values for placeholder tokens.

This hook is invoked when someone calls \Drupal\Core\Utility\Token::replace(). That function first scans the text for [type:token] patterns, and splits the needed tokens into groups by type. Then hook_tokens() is invoked on each token-type group, allowing your module to respond by providing replacement text for any of the tokens in the group that your module knows how to process.

A module implementing this hook should also implement hook_token_info() in order to list its available tokens on editing screens.

Parameters

$type: The machine-readable name of the type (group) of token being replaced, such as 'node', 'user', or another type defined by a hook_token_info() implementation.

$tokens: An array of tokens to be replaced. The keys are the machine-readable token names, and the values are the raw [type:token] strings that appeared in the original text.

$data: (optional) An associative array of data objects to be used when generating replacement values, as supplied in the $data parameter to \Drupal\Core\Utility\Token::replace().

$options: (optional) An associative array of options for token replacement; see \Drupal\Core\Utility\Token::replace() for possible values.

Return value

An associative array of replacement values, keyed by the raw [type:token] strings from the original text.
