Eventually you'll want to do something with the information your form collects beyond just printing it to the screen. It's generally considered a best practice to keep business logic out of your form controller so that it can be reused. In order to accomplish that you'll generally define your business logic in a service, and then call out to that service from your form controller. Or, you can make use of one of the existing services provided by Drupal core to save data.
In this tutorial we'll:
- Use dependency injection to inject a service into a form controller
- Make use of a service injected into a form controller from within the
buildForm()andsubmitForm()methods
By the end of this tutorial you'll understand how to inject one or more services into your form controller and then make use of them.
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?
