I see extensive Drupal 7 documentation for the Flags module, but very little for Drupal 8. I have a Signup flag on a Drupal 8 node (which is an event). I need to suppress the Signup link when a number of signups (flags) have been added to this node.

I'm trying with hook_preprocess_flag() using the following code.

$flag_service = \Drupal::service('flag');
$flag = $flag_service->getFlagById('signup');

What call gets the flag_count of that flag?

  • $flag_service = Drupal::service('flag.count'); $counts = $flag_service->getEntityFlagCounts($node);

  • Or if you want it for flag entity use $flag_service ->getFlagFlaggingCount($flag);

For flag count on entities use: 

$flag_service = Drupal::service('flag.count');
$counts = $flag_service->getEntityFlagCounts($node);

For flag count on flag entity use:

$flag_service->getFlagFlaggingCount($flag);

You can find all functions from the Service here:

/modules/contrib/flag/src/FlagCountManager.php

  • Hi, if I use the above code : $flag_service = \Drupal::service('flag.count'); $flag_count = $flag_service->getFlagFlaggingCount('flag_machine_name'); I get this error : TypeError : Argument 1 passed to Drupal\flag\FlagCountManager::getFlagFlaggingCount() must implement interface Drupal\flag\FlagInterface, string given,.... How Can I get the number of flagged nodes for a flag type? Thanks.
