Description: 

The trait is deprecated because since PHP 7.4 exception handling is not required and since PHP 8.0 there's Stringable interface

__toString method must be implemented directly without using \Drupal\Component\Utility\ToStringTrait.

Before:


use \Drupal\Component\Utility\ToStringTrait;

class Example {

  use ToStringTrait;

  public function render(): string {
    return 'Example';
  }

}

After:

class Example implements \Stringable {

  public function render(): string {
    return 'Example';
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function __toString(): string {
    return $this->render();
  }

}
