The logic for retrieving and processing a weather forecast is hard-coded into the WeatherPage controller. To make our code more reusable, maintainable, and organized, we can refactor this code into a custom weather forecast API service.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Define a PHP interface for a weather forecast API service and write an implementation of that service.
- Create a service definition file to inform Drupal about our new service and its dependencies.
- Refactor the
WeatherPagecontroller to use the new service, which will clean up duplicate code.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to define and use a custom service in a Drupal module.
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. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
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?
