# Deprecation: #85113 - Legacy Backend Module Routing methods

See [forge#85113](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85113)

## Description

In TYPO3 v9, Backend routing was unified to be handled via the "route" query string parameter. Backend modules
are now automatically registered to be a backend route.

The following methods are thus deprecated in favor of using the method above.

-   `BackendUtility::getModuleUrl()`
-   `UriBuilder->buildUriFromModule()`

## Impact

Calling one of the deprecated methods above will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation with a custom backend-related extension using one of the methods directly in a PHP context.

## Migration

Use `UriBuilder->buildUriFromRoute($moduleIdentifier)` instead.

For example:

```
BackendUtility::getModuleUrl('record_edit', $uriParameters);

```

becomes:

```
$uriBuilder = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(UriBuilder::class);
$uriBuilder->buildUriFromRoute('record_edit', $uriParameters);

```
