Drupal 8 correspondence to node_access function on Drupal 7 I feel like asking a silly question, but here it is anyway: I need to test if a given user (in my case, the logged in, current user) has access to a given node for one of the existing operations (view, create, edit or delete).

In Drupal 7 you could test this by using node_access function (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!node!node.module/function/node_access/7.x) and it would be as simples as this:

if(node_access('view', $node, $account)) {
  // Perform something
}


Return value would be TRUE or FALSE. How can I achieve the same result on Drupal 8?

I will be running this code from inside a _custom_access check for a specific route I am setting for my custom module.

Thank you!
You want Node::access():

if ($node-&gt;access('view', \Drupal::currentUser())) {
  // User is allowed to view the node.
}
