Drupal 8: Include A Twig Template

Context definitions in Drupal are really useful when you want to inject context into your plugins and I have been using them for a little while now. It has made building custom blocks to add content to pages much easier as I don't need to copy the same block of code to find an entity of a particular sort into the block plugin.

I previously looked at injecting context providers into context aware plugins. This time I will explore more about creating our own context providers to plug into this system.

When developing plugins in Drupal a common task is to inject context so that certain tasks can be performed.

Whilst working on a module I found that I needed to do something that was difficult to find information for. I think part of that is because the solution is simpler than I was thinking, but it did cause me to get lost in source code and internet issues for a while.

I have been using the Drupal dependency injection system for a while now, even giving talks and writing articles on the subject.

Drupal has a number of coding standards and best practices that govern the way code should be written. This has many benefits but can allow for a consistent and maintainable code to be created.
