Understanding the Transition: Drupal Plugins Embrace PHP Attributes
The PHP language's native support for attributes compatible with Drupal's plugin system was highlighted in an article originally published for the Drupal Advent Calendar, now updated with current developments, accessible at Drupalize.me. Emphasizing the transition from annotations to PHP attributes for supplying metadata and configuration for plugins, the article by Joe Shindelar informs developers of the need to adapt to the new PHP attributes syntax and update existing code accordingly.
With Drupal poised to continue supporting both annotations and attributes for now, the article underscores the impending shift and the imperative for developers to prepare for future Drupal iterations. The piece delves into the evolution of PHP attributes, their advantages over annotations, and their significance for Drupal developers in the broader context of code efficiency and maintenance.
