class Sandwich

Defines a Sandwich attribute class.

Provides an example of how to define a new attribute type for use in defining a plugin type. Demonstrates documenting the arguments for the class constructor to help developers understand how to configure plugin instances.

When defining attributes for a plugin type start by extending the existing Drupal\Component\Plugin\Attribute\Plugin class. Then create a __construct() method whose arguments are the configuration options for the plugin type.

Classes that extend the Plugin class should always accept $id, $deriver arguments. Developers can add any additional required, or optional, arguments necessary to configure their specific plugin type.

The #[\Attribute(\Attribute::TARGET_CLASS)] line says that the class, Block, defines a #[Block()] attribute, and that the block attribute can only be used on classes. Or put another way, the code that the #[Block()] attribute is annotating must be a class, or it won’t validate.
