PHP attributes are a native PHP language feature, introduced in PHP 8.0, that provide a way to add metadata to classes, methods, properties, and functions in PHP code.
In Drupal, this metadata is used by the plugin system to aid in the discovery and configuration of plugin instances. As a Drupal developer, it's important to understand how to recognize, read, and write PHP attributes, as you'll encounter them when working with plugins.
In this tutorial we'll look at:
- What PHP attributes are
