I want to do something when a node gets updated. To keep it simple, lets say display a drupal message.
hello_world.routing.yml
hello_world:
path: /node/{node}
defaults:
_controller: Drupal\hello_world\Controller\HelloWorldController::hello_world_entity_update
requirements:
_permission: 'access content'
Not sure if the path should be /node/{node}/edit instead.
HelloWorldController.php
<?php
/**
* @file
* Contains \Drupal\hello_world\Controller\HelloController.
*/
namespace Drupal\hello_world\Controller;
use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;
class HelloWorldController extends ControllerBase {
public function hello_world_entity_update(Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity) {
drupal_set_message(t('Something @var just happened.', array('@var' => 'cool')));
}
}
Since hook_node_update() was depreciated, I assume we now have to use hook_entity_update().
I am not getting the message upon updating a node, what I'm I missing or doing wrong?

Just so I don't confuse anyone. I was brainwashed into thinking I needed a routing file and a controller. All the D8 examples out there use them.
Since I was not creating any pages, turns out I did not need a routing.yml file nor a Controller.php file nor the /src folder. All I had to do is approach this like Drupal 7, all that I needed was the .info.yml file and a .module file to put the hook.
