The Aide module provides a simple utility class called Aide containing a collection of utility functions that handle common Drupal coding tasks.

The utility class is intended to be used within global functions (e.g. hooks, theme preprocessing, etc). This is because all of the utility functions are static, and they access Drupal services via the global service container. Please be aware of this when using the utility class. In the context of services and classes within modules, it is highly recommended to not use the utility class and to use dependency injection instead.

A more fitting solution for modules and backend work is being considered for the first official release.

Post-Installation

Enabling the Aide module does nothing by default. It is meant to enhance the developer experience and only exposes additional utility functions via code.
