Move LinkGenerator out of Drupal\Core\Utility

Created on 28 September 2014, over 10 years ago
Updated 22 May 2025, 12 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Drupal\Core\Utility is filled with classes that have all static methods, most of which have no external dependencies.

LinkGenerator is a service.

We've made a distinction between Services and Utility classes, we should keep that.

This also applies to #2346361: Add a UnroutedUrlAssembler and put it into the container β†’

Proposed resolution

Move LinkGenerator to a new namespace: Drupal\Core\Render\LinkGenerator

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
