Implementing plugins often involves accessing Drupal services to use their functions. Since plugins are PHP classes, we can use dependency injection to access services in our class. This tutorial demonstrates injecting dependencies into plugin classes. We'll update the HelloWorldBlock class to use the current_user service through dependency injection.
In this tutorial, we'll:
- Learn how to inject dependencies into plugin classes.
- Update the
HelloWorldBlockclass to use dependency injection for accessing thecurrent_userservice.
By the end of this tutorial, you should understand how to use dependency injection within plugin classes.
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?
