This project is a library of helper functions, primarily for custom module development. It includes utilities for arrays, caching, entities, fields, and HTTP requests, along with various UI tweaks and debugging features, such as making the delete operation a tab and adding destination query strings to local actions. It also offers cache clearing for Drush and Admin Menu, support for hook_hook_info(), and enhanced #states functionality.
Provides Dave Reid's standard library of helper functions as static methods in classes. Most useful with custom written modules for individual projects, and not as an actual dependency for other contrib modules.

Tweaks
All the following UI tweaks can be enabled or disabled as desired:
- Makes the 'Delete' operation show up as a tab for nodes.
- Adds an 'unpublished comment count' link to node teasers.
- Adds destination query strings to local actions, and to login/registration paths for anonymous users. So when you complete the action/login/registration, you return to the page you came from.
Other features
- HelperDebugMailLog.php: For logging output from drupal_mail() to the screen and through watchdog().
Proposed for merging into Devel: #1978250: Add a DevelDebugMailLog for logging mails with dpm() and watchdog() - Provides bootstrap, field info, and entity info cache clearing for drush and admin_menu.
- Adds hook_hook_info() support for core modules.
- Makes #states work for all field API formatter settings in the Views UI.
- Fixes user_uri() to not return a value for the anonymous user: #1991464: user_uri() should not return an invalid path (user/0) for the anonymous user object
- Adds support for overriding the '_none' => '- None -' option in list fields' select widgets if you add an option with an empty key (i.e.
|Unknown).
