Parameters

string $string

A string containing the English text to translate.

  • 'langcode' (defaults to the current language): A language code, to translate to a language other than what is used to display the page.
  • 'context' (defaults to the empty context): The context the source string belongs to. See the @link i18n Internationalization topic @endlink for more information about string contexts.

Return Value

array getThirdPartyProviders()

Gets the list of third parties that store information.

Return Value

The list of third parties.

array calculateDependencies()

Calculates dependencies for the configured plugin.

Dependencies are saved in the plugin's configuration entity and are used to determine configuration synchronization order. For example, if the plugin integrates with specific user roles, this method should return an array of dependencies listing the specified roles.

Return Value

array

An array of dependencies grouped by type (config, content, module, theme). For example: @code array( 'config' => array('user.role.anonymous', 'user.role.authenticated'), 'content' => array('node:article:f0a189e6-55fb-47fb-8005-5bef81c44d6d'), 'module' => array('node', 'user'), 'theme' => array('seven'), ); @endcode

bool onDependencyRemoval(array $dependencies)

Informs the plugin that some configuration it depends on will be deleted.

This method allows plugins to keep their configuration up-to-date when a dependency calculated with ::calculateDependencies() is removed. For example, an entity view display contains a formatter having a setting pointing to an arbitrary config entity. When that config entity is deleted, this method is called by the view display to react to the dependency removal by updating its configuration.

This method must return TRUE if the removal event updated the plugin configuration or FALSE otherwise.

Parameters

array $dependencies

An array of dependencies that will be deleted keyed by dependency type. Dependency types are 'config', 'content', 'module' and 'theme'.

Return Value

bool

TRUE if the plugin configuration has changed, FALSE if not.
