Project:
Drupal core
Introduced in branch:
8.x Description:
Summary
Convert drupal_anonymous_user() to return an object of type User.
API Changes
drupal_anonymous_user()returns an object of type User.
Examples
When this function is used in core, the returned object is either passed off to another function or assigned to the global $user object. These examples are purely hypothetical.
Access properties of the returned object.
Drupal 7
Since the user object is of type stdClass, you can make up your own properties:
<?php
$account = drupal_anonymous_user();
$account->extra_local_info = 'Secret';
$html = theme('user_username', $account);
?>Drupal 8
The User class has a defined list of properties:
<?php
$account = drupal_anonymous_user();
$defaults = array(
'name' => '',
'mail' => '',
'access' => 0,
'login' => 0,
'status' => 1,
'langcode' => LANGUAGE_NOT_SPECIFIED,
'preferred_langcode' => LANGUAGE_NOT_SPECIFIED,
'preferred_admin_langcode' => LANGUAGE_NOT_SPECIFIED,
'init' => '',
);
foreach ($defaults as $property => $value) {
if ($account->$property !== $value) {
// Something went wrong.
break;
}
}
