Do you see the pattern?

routing

• D7: Routes mixed with menu links hook_menu()

• Routes defined in YAML: module.routing.yml

• hook_menu() used to define menu links.

• Dynamic routes: extending RouteSubscriberBase

dependency injection• Replaceable services for dependencies• Keeps code decoupled• Services passed to objects by injection when

object is created• Allows replacement of core subsystems with

configuration• Makes it easier to test with mock objects or test

multiple subsystem implementations.• Examples: database connector, configuration

manager, translation service• Services define in modulename.services.yml

dependency injectioninstead hardcoding objects inside other object

$this->configFactory = new ConfigFactory()

we’re injecting the object in the (constructor) interface

plugins & annotations

plugins & annotations

plugins

• Plugins are managed by plugin managers

• Managers are able to retrieve plugins by ID or get the definitions.

symfony components

•HttpFoundation

•HttpKernel

•Routing

•Event Dispatcher

•Dependency Injection

•Yaml

•Twig

•Serializer

other components

• Composer: Dependency manager

• Guzzle: HTTP Client

• Assetic: Asset manager (CSS, JS aggregation)

• PHPUnit: Testing

• Doctrine Annotation
