Not to use on production websites. ### Support for automatic entity updates has been removed [](#support-for-automatic-entity-updates-has-been-removed) User deprecated function: `EntityDefinitionUpdateManagerInterface::applyUpdates()` was deprecated in **Drupal** **8.7.0** and was removed before **Drupal 9.0.0**. How to Use Entity Definition Update Manager Class ------------------------------------------------- [](#how-to-use-entity-definition-update-manager-class) Customized class for the entity definition update manager. ### Require the Package in your root composer.json file [](#require-the-package-in-your-root-composerjson-file) ``` "vardot/entity-definition-update-manager": "~1.0" ``` ### Or require the Package in your Project with a command [](#or-require-the-package-in-your-project-with-a-command) ``` $ composer require vardot/entity-definition-update-manager:~1.0 ``` ### 1.

It needed to update entity definitions after that. Have a look at the **`varbase_core_install`** hook function [https://git.drupalcode.org/project/varbase\_core/-/blob/9.0.x/varbase\_core.install#L77](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/varbase_core/-/blob/9.0.x/varbase_core.install#L77) Example Use On Updates ---------------------- [](#example-use-on-updates) **Varbase API** in some point needed to update configurations in a hook update. It needed to update entity definitions after that. Which did not work without entity definition update. Have a look at the **`varbase_api_update_8702`** hook function [https://git.drupalcode.org/project/varbase\_api/-/blob/9.0.x/varbase\_api.install#L159](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/varbase_api/-/blob/9.0.x/varbase_api.install#L159) When to Use and When Not to Use? -------------------------------- [](#when-to-use-and-when-not-to-use) **Do not use** when the import/update of configs works in the normal way. If all configs are in the **`config/install`** and no issues on install. **Use** when custom managed configs are been imported or updated in a custom order, And custom actions or changes in between imports are being involved. If the module or profile has number of optional or managed configs. Which located in **`config/optional`** or **`config/managed`** or any other physical locations. Then they are imported or updated with custom Drupal Config Factory or Drupal Install Factory. **Must run at least ones** at the end of each installation steps for installation profiles like [**Varbase**](https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase), [**Vardoc**](https://www.drupal.org/project/vardoc), [**Uber Publisher**](https://www.drupal.org/project/uber_publisher). ### Health Score 47 — FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance71 Regular maintenance activity Popularity34 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
