Follow-up to #2490966: [Meta] Replace deprecated usage of entity_create with a direct call to the entity type class
Problem/Motivation
According to #2346261: Deprecate entity_create() in favor of a <EntityType>::create($values) or \Drupal::entityManager()->getStorage($entity_type)->create($values), entity_create() function is now deprecated so we shouldn't use it anymore. When the entity type is known we should directly call <EntityType>::create()
. When the entity type is variable, we should use \Drupal::entityManager()->getStorage($entity_type)->create($values);
.
Beta phase evaluation
Issue category | Task |
---|---|
Issue priority | Normal because it's just about code cleanup and good practices |
Prioritized changes | The main goal of this issue is DX, performance and removing code already deprecated for 8.0.0. (Direct calls to EntityType::create are better than generic calls to entity_create for readability) |
Disruption | This change is not disruptive at all as it only replaces deprecated functions call by their exact equivalent. |
Proposed resolution
Replace the deprecated call to entity_create()
by a proper call to <EntityType>::create()
.
Before:
entity_create('field_config', $field_values)->save();
After:
use Drupal\field\Entity\FieldConfig;
FieldConfig::create($field_values)->save();

Mile23The patch in #3 applies and looks good. My IDE tells me it removes all occurrences of
entity_load('comment
.Setting to RTBC and re-running the tests, since the patch is a little stale.
