Need an array of user roles in your Drupal 8 site? Say goodbye to user_roles(), say hello to user_role_names().
This function will return an associative array with the role id as the key and the role name as the value.
/**
* Retrieves the names of roles matching specified conditions.
* @link https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!modules!user!user.module/function/user_role_names/8
*/
function user_role_names( $membersonly = FALSE, $permission = NULL ) {
return array_map( function( $item ) {
return $item->label();
}, user_roles( $membersonly, $permission ) );
}For more information, see https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!modules!user!user.module/function/user_role_names/8.2.x.
