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.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug.

Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
