If we use parameter upcasting in our entity route definition, we can simplify code in the StatusUpdateForm controller. Parameter upcasting works by instructing Drupal to load entity objects referenced in a route's path automatically. This approach reduces boilerplate code related to the entity type manager service and entity object loading.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Define parameter upcasting and its advantages.
- Update the
StatusUpdateFormcontroller with type hinting to use parameter conversion services. - Refine our route definition's access checking for entity-specific verification.
By the end of this tutorial you should be able to use parameter upcasting to load full entity objects through an updated route definition.
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?
