Module Development

Concept: Creating Custom Services for Drupal 8, 9, and 10

Custom services in Drupal modules encapsulate specific business logic or functionality. In our example, we'll demonstrate moving code required to access a weather forecast API from a controller into a service. This will help make our controller thin and our module code more reusable, testable, and maintainable.

In this tutorial, we'll:

  • Explore the advantages of custom services for managing business logic.
  • Define the components of a custom service.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand why creating custom services is a beneficial practice in Drupal module development.
