In Drupal 9, you can create custom tokens using the Token API for your custom module. The Token API provides a central API for modules to use to provide tokens. Tokens are placed into text by using the [type:token] syntax, where type is the machine-readable name of the token type, and token is the machine-readable name of the token within the type.

There is already basic article on upgrading Drupal 8 to Drupal 9, however, there is a bit more to consider, with my current setup of Drupal using composer.

1. Open the terminal app (or the terminal in VS Code) and change to the root site directory of the site you are updating

   cd [path/to/site/root/directory]

2. Switch to the main branch and fetch the latest changes

   git checkout master
   git fetch --all
   git pull

3. Create a new branch from the main branch for the Drupal core update

   git checkout -b update/core-[version]

4. Upda

Drupal 9 is here! I’ve been working with Drupal for the past seven years now and have grown to love it. I started out with Drupal 7 and although it was a steep learning curve from what I was use to building sites with, it got easier once I got deeper into the code and understood the architecture of the software and API, especially with Drupal 8.
