Episode Synopsis
Send us a text This podcast episode of Talking Drupal features a deep dive with Drupal core contributors into the transformation of Drupal’s foundational “hooks” system from procedural code to an object-oriented programming (OOP) model. The discussion explains what hooks are, why they’ve been central to Drupal’s extensibility, and what challenges led to this architectural evolution. Listeners will gain insight into the role of dependency injection, improved PHP tooling, and the complexities of maintaining backward compatibility while modernizing core. The episode also explores the community-driven nature of this change and what it means for Drupal's future development. ---This episode of DrupalBrief is sponsored by DrupalForge.org DrupalBrief.com
