Change record status: 
Project: 
Introduced in branch: 
8.x
Description: 

Procedural module/hook system functions have been replaced with a dedicated class/service.

Within other classes/services and also tests, you should exclusively use the new 'module_handler' service; e.g., like this:

-  $module_list = module_list();
+  $module_list = $this->container->get('module_handler')->getModuleList();

See Drupal\Core\Extension\ModuleHandlerInterface
and Drupal\Core\Extension\ModuleInstallerInterface
for the complete list of public methods.

\Drupal::service('module_installer')->install($module_list, $enable_dependencies)
module_uninstall($module_list, $uninstall_dependents)
\Drupal::service('module_installer')->uninstall($module_list, $uninstall_dependents)

Note that since Drupal-7.22 drupal_alter() accepted 3 context parameters. ModuleHandler::alter() only has 2 context parameters. For more info see: https://drupal.org/node/1882722.

A few procedural functions still exist as wrappers, but are marked as @deprecated and are scheduled for removal.
