Is there an alternative to the 'Liferay.Util.selectEntity' function?

Issue

• After upgrading to 2024.Q2+, Liferay.Util.selectEntity does not work anymore. It has been removed, according to the 2024.Q2 Breaking Changes.
• Is there any replacement for it?

Environment

• Liferay DXP 2024.Q2+

Resolution

• Although it has been removed as of 2024.Q2, the replacement was made a few years ago in LPS-112298 Update Liferay.Util.selectEntity utility, as part of the epic LPS-101984 Provide Modal Patterns matching Lexicon Definition, where you can find more information.
• Within the product, usages of Liferay.Util.selectEntity (AUI-based) were replaced by Liferay.Util.openModal (Clay-based). You can find the changes in this pull request. For example (FragmentCompositionDropdownDefaultEventHandler.es.js):
  
  • Before

    Liferay.Util.selectEntity(
      {
        dialog: {
          constrain: true,
          destroyOnHide: true,
          modal: true,
        },
        eventName: this.ns('selectFragmentCollection'),
        id: this.ns('selectFragmentCollection'),
        title: Liferay.Language.get('select-collection'),
        uri: selectFragmentCollectionURL,
      },
      (selectedItem) => {
        if (selectedItem) {
          ...
        }
      }
    );

  • After

    Liferay.Util.openModal({
      id: this.ns('selectFragmentCollection'),
      onSelect: (selectedItem) => {
        if (selectedItem) {
          ...
        }
      },
      selectEventName: this.ns('selectFragmentCollection'),
      title: Liferay.Language.get('select-collection'),
      url: selectFragmentCollectionURL,
    });
