Let’s say you have installed a contrib module, which does things for you. But the module contains a Drupal hook-function which you do not want. That’s easy without patching. You can remove the hook like follows:
php
function my_module_module_implements_alter(&$implementations, $hook) {
if ($hook == 'query_entity_query_alter' && isset($implementations['group']) {
unset($implementations['group']);
}
}
This function will remove the hook_query_entity_query_alter() function from the Group contrib module. If it doesn’t, you could check the module weight of you custom module with the core.extension.yml file. There you can set
my_module: 0
to
my_module: 10
The module weight must be higher than the module weight of the contrib module which you want to modify.
