public function EntityLastInstalledSchemaRepositoryInterface::getLastInstalledDefinitions in Drupal 9

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 8 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityLastInstalledSchemaRepositoryInterface.php \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityLastInstalledSchemaRepositoryInterface::getLastInstalledDefinitions()

Gets the entity type definitions in their most recently installed state.

During the application lifetime, entity type definitions can change. For example, updated code can be deployed. The \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManagerInterface::getDefinitions() method will always return the definitions as determined by the current codebase. This method returns the definitions from the last time that a \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeListener event was completed. In other words, the definitions that the entity type's handlers have incorporated into the application state. For example, if the entity type's storage handler is SQL-based, the definition for which database tables were created.

Application management code can check if \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManagerInterface::getDefinitions() differs from getLastInstalledDefinitions() and decide whether to:

• Invoke the appropriate \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeListenerInterface event so that handlers react to the new definitions.
• Raise a warning that the application state is incompatible with the codebase.
• Perform some other action.

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface[] An array containing the installed definition for all entity types, keyed by the entity type ID.
