function hook_entity_prepare_view

Act on entities as they are being prepared for view.

Allows you to operate on multiple entities as they are being prepared for view. Only use this if attaching the data during the entity loading phase is not appropriate, for example when attaching other 'entity' style objects.

Parameters

array $entities: The entities keyed by entity ID.

string $entity_type: The type of entities being viewed (i.e. node, user, comment).
