Node Access Helper

Helper module for developers working with Drupal core's node access API.

Methods provided:

NodeGrantsUpdater::update($node)

When you save a node, Drupal automatically triggers an update of access grants for that node. When a node is saved that should affect the access of other nodes, use a hook_node_update() / hook_node_insert() or a postSave method to trigger those other nodes to update themselves, too, with this code:

    \Drupal::service('node_access_helper.update_node_grants')->update($nids); 

(It will accept a node object, a node ID, or an array of either.)
