custom ControllerBase
Displaying 1 - 1 of 1drupal10, when do I need to implement __construct in custom controllerBase
You implement __construct() in your custom ControllerBase when you need to bring in any external service or object that isn't provided as a convenience method by ControllerBase itself. Always pair it with the create() static factory method for proper dependency injection in Drupal.
