To access services in Drupal through the service container, you'll need to know the unique machine name of the service. We'll use the example of making HTTP requests to a weather forecast API in the anytown module to demonstrate several methods you can use to identify an existing service's ID.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Discover existing services and their machine names.
- Take a look at an example service definition.
By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to locate and use existing services in your 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?
