Discovering Services in Drupal using Drush and WebProfiler

Video Description

Drupal's service-oriented architecture can be complex. Developers often struggle to discover available services in their Drupal projects. Here are two tools I use to discover services in a Drupal site: ➜ 1️⃣ Drush (with Devel installed) ➜ 2️⃣ WebProfiler Drush is a command-line tool for Drupal. WebProfiler is a debugging toolbar that gets displayed at the bottom of the page. Both can be used to see all the available services on a Drupal site. Installing the Tools: To install Drush, run: composer require drush/drush Then to install Devel, run: composer require drupal/devel:^5.3 To install WebProfiler, run: composer require drupal/webprofiler:^11.0 Using Drush (with Devel installed): 1️⃣ Open your terminal 2️⃣ Go to your Drupal project folder 3️⃣ Type: "drush devel:services" to see all services 4️⃣ Filter down the search by adding keywords as options, i.e., "drush devel:services node" Using WebProfiler: 1️⃣ Enable the WebProfiler module on your site 2️⃣ Find the WebProfiler toolbar at the bottom of your pages 3️⃣ Go to the WebProfiler config page and turn on "Services" from "Active toolbar items" 4️⃣ Click on the Services icon to view all available and initialized services These tools help you understand your site's structure and available services. This knowledge can improve your Drupal development process. #drupal #drupaldev ~~~ If you found this post helpful. ♻️ Please repost and follow. 📧 Join our newsletter; link in the first comment.
