I always follow Symfony standards when it comes to helper functions. I normally have one module for developer-central stuff where I add a class under src/Utils
for that and then call it everywhere I need it. Also in *.module
or *.theme
files.
web/modules/custom/my_system/src/Utils/MyHelperFunctions.php
namespace Drupal\my_system\Utils;
/**
* Class MyHelperFunctions.
*/
class MyHelperFunctions {
/**
* Get current multi-site directory name.
*
* @return string
* The basename of the matching multi-site directory.
*/
public static function getMultiSiteAlias() {
$site_path = \Drupal::service('site.path');
$site = explode('/', $site_path);
return $site[1];
}
}
web/modules/themes/custom/my_theme/my_theme.theme:
use Drupal\my_system\Utils\MyHelperFunctions;
/**
* Implements template_preprocess_html().
*/
function my_theme_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
// Add multi-site body class.
$site = MyHelperFunctions::getMultiSiteAlias();
$variables['attributes']['class'][] = 'site-' . $site;
}
