import Tabs from ' @theme /Tabs'; import TabItem from ' @theme /TabItem'; Drupal 12 is on the horizon, and with it comes the final removal of a long-standing legacy layer: the procedural Database API wrappers.

These functions have been deprecated since Drupal 8, but they have stuck around for backward compatibility. That grace period is ending.
