* @defgroup entity_crud Entity CRUD, editing, and view hooks
* @{
* Hooks used in various entity operations.
*
* Entity create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations are performed by
* entity storage classes; see the
* @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for more information. Most
* entities use or extend the default classes:
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\Sql\SqlContentEntityStorage for content entities, and
* \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityStorage for configuration entities.
* For these entities, there is a set of hooks that is invoked for each
* CRUD operation, which module developers can implement to affect these
* operations; these hooks are actually invoked from methods on
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageBase.
*
* For content entities, viewing and rendering are handled by a view builder
* class; see the @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for more
* information. Most view builders extend or use the default class
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityViewBuilder.
*
* Entity editing (including adding new entities) is handled by entity form
* classes; see the @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for more
* information. Most entity editing forms extend base classes
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityForm or \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityForm.
* Note that many other operations, such as confirming deletion of entities,
* also use entity form classes.
*
* This topic lists all of the entity CRUD and view operations, and the hooks
* and other operations that are invoked (in order) for each operation. Some
* notes:
* - Whenever an entity hook is invoked, there is both a type-specific entity
* hook, and a generic entity hook. For instance, during a create operation on
* a node, first hook_node_create() and then hook_entity_create() would be
* invoked.
* - The entity-type-specific hooks are represented in the list below as
* hook_ENTITY_TYPE_... (hook_ENTITY_TYPE_create() in this example). To
* implement one of these hooks for an entity whose machine name is "foo",
* define a function called mymodule_foo_create(), for instance. Also note
* that the entity or array of entities that are passed into a specific-type
* hook are of the specific entity class, not the generic Entity class, so in
* your implementation, you can make the $entity argument something like $node
* and give it a specific type hint (which should normally be to the specific
* interface, such as \Drupal\node\NodeInterface for nodes).
* - $storage in the code examples is assumed to be an entity storage
* class. See the @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for
* information on how to instantiate the correct storage class for an
* entity type.
* - $view_builder in the code examples is assumed to be an entity view builder
* class. See the @link entity_api Entity API topic @endlink for
* information on how to instantiate the correct view builder class for
* an entity type.
* - During many operations, static methods are called on the entity class,
* which implements \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface.
*
* @section entities_revisions_translations Entities, revisions and translations
* A content entity can have multiple stored variants: based on its definition,
* it can be revisionable, translatable, or both.
*
* A revisionable entity can keep track of the changes that affect its data. In
* fact all previous revisions of the entity can be stored and made available as
* "historical" information. The "default" revision is the canonical variant of
* the entity, the one that is loaded when no specific revision is requested.
* Only changes to the default revision may be performed without triggering the
* creation of a new revision, in any other case revision data is not supposed
* to change. Aside from historical revisions, there can be "pending" revisions,
* that contain changes that did not make their way into the default revision.
* Typically these revisions contain data that is waiting for some form of
* approval, before being accepted as canonical.
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\RevisionableInterface
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\RevisionableStorageInterface
*
* A translatable entity can contain multiple translations of the same content.
* Content entity data is stored via fields, and each field can have one version
* for each enabled language. Some fields may be defined as untranslatable,
* which means that their values are shared among all translations. The
* "default" translation is the canonical variant of the entity, the one whose
* content will be accessible in the entity field data. Other translations
* can be instantiated from the default one. Every translation has an "active
* language" that is used to determine which field translation values should be
* handled. Typically the default translation's active language is the language
* of the content that was originally entered and served as source for the other
* translations.
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\TranslatableInterface
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\TranslatableStorageInterface
*
* An entity that is both revisionable and translatable has all the features
* described above: every revision can contain one or more translations. The
* canonical variant of the entity is the default translation of the default
* revision. Any revision will be initially loaded as the default translation,
* the other revision translations can be instantiated from this one. If a
* translation has changes in a certain revision, the translation is considered
* "affected" by that revision, and will be flagged as such via the
* "revision_translation_affected" field. With the built-in UI, every time a new
* revision is saved, the changes for the edited translations will be stored,
* while all field values for the other translations will be copied as-is.
* However, if multiple translations of the default revision are being
* subsequently modified without creating a new revision when saving, they will
* all be affected by the default revision. Additionally, all revision
* translations will be affected when saving a revision containing changes for
* untranslatable fields. On the other hand, pending revisions are not supposed
* to contain multiple affected translations, even when they are being
* manipulated via the API.
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\TranslatableRevisionableInterface
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\TranslatableRevisionableStorageInterface
*
* @section create Create operations
* To create an entity:
* @code
* $entity = $storage->create();
*
* // Add code here to set properties on the entity.
*
* // Until you call save(), the entity is just in memory.
* $entity->save();
* @endcode
* There is also a shortcut method on entity classes, which creates an entity
* with an array of provided property values: \Drupal\Core\Entity::create().
*
* Hooks invoked during the create operation:
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_create()
* - hook_entity_create()
* - When handling content entities, if a new translation is added to the entity
* object:
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_translation_create()
* - hook_entity_translation_create()
*
* See @ref save below for the save portion of the operation.
*
* @section load Read/Load operations
* To load (read) a single entity:
* @code
* $entity = $storage->load($id);
* @endcode
* To load multiple entities:
* @code
* $entities = $storage->loadMultiple($ids);
* @endcode
* Since load() calls loadMultiple(), these are really the same operation.
* Here is the order of hooks and other operations that take place during
* entity loading:
* - Entity is loaded from storage.
* - postLoad() is called on the entity class, passing in all of the loaded
* entities.
* - hook_entity_load()
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_load()
*
* When an entity is loaded, normally the default entity revision is loaded.
* It is also possible to load a different revision, for entities that support
* revisions, with this code:
* @code
* $entity = $storage->loadRevision($revision_id);
* @endcode
* This involves the same hooks and operations as regular entity loading.
*
* The "latest revision" of an entity is the most recently created one,
* regardless of it being default or pending. If the entity is translatable,
* revision translations are not taken into account either. In other words, any
* time a new revision is created, that becomes the latest revision for the
* entity overall, regardless of the affected translations. To load the latest
* revision of an entity:
* @code
* $revision_id = $storage->getLatestRevisionId($entity_id);
* $entity = $storage->loadRevision($revision_id);
* @endcode
* As usual, if the entity is translatable, this code instantiates into $entity
* the default translation of the revision, even if the latest revision contains
* only changes to a different translation:
* @code
* $is_default = $entity->isDefaultTranslation(); // returns TRUE
* @endcode
*
* The "latest translation-affected revision" is the most recently created one
* that affects the specified translation. For example, when a new revision
* introducing some changes to an English translation is saved, that becomes the
* new "latest revision". However, if an existing Italian translation was not
* affected by those changes, then the "latest translation-affected revision"
* for Italian remains what it was. To load the Italian translation at its
* latest translation-affected revision:
* @code
* $revision_id = $storage->getLatestTranslationAffectedRevisionId($entity_id, 'it');
* $it_translation = $storage->loadRevision($revision_id)->getTranslation('it');
* @endcode
*
* @section save Save operations
* To update an existing entity, you will need to load it, change properties,
* and then save; as described above, when creating a new entity, you will also
* need to save it. Here is the order of hooks and other events that happen
* during an entity save:
* - preSave() is called on the entity object, and field objects.
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_presave()
* - hook_entity_presave()
* - Entity is saved to storage.
* - For updates on content entities, if there is a translation added that
* was not previously present:
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_translation_insert()
* - hook_entity_translation_insert()
* - For updates on content entities, if there was a translation removed:
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_translation_delete()
* - hook_entity_translation_delete()
* - postSave() is called on the entity object.
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_insert() (new) or hook_ENTITY_TYPE_update() (update)
* - hook_entity_insert() (new) or hook_entity_update() (update)
*
* Some specific entity types invoke hooks during preSave() or postSave()
* operations. Examples:
* - Field configuration preSave(): hook_field_storage_config_update_forbid()
* - Node postSave(): hook_node_access_records() and
* hook_node_access_records_alter()
* - Config entities that are acting as entity bundles in postSave():
* hook_entity_bundle_create()
* - Comment: hook_comment_publish() and hook_comment_unpublish() as
* appropriate.
*
* Note that all translations available for the entity are stored during a save
* operation. When saving a new revision, a copy of every translation is stored,
* regardless of it being affected by the revision.
*
* @section edit Editing operations
* When an entity's add/edit form is used to add or edit an entity, there
* are several hooks that are invoked:
* - hook_entity_prepare_form()
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_prepare_form()
* - hook_entity_form_display_alter() (for content entities only)
*
* @section delete Delete operations
* To delete one or more entities, load them and then delete them:
* @code
* $entities = $storage->loadMultiple($ids);
* $storage->delete($entities);
* @endcode
*
* During the delete operation, the following hooks and other events happen:
* - preDelete() is called on the entity class.
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_predelete()
* - hook_entity_predelete()
* - Entity and field information is removed from storage.
* - postDelete() is called on the entity class.
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_delete()
* - hook_entity_delete()
*
* Some specific entity types invoke hooks during the delete process. Examples:
* - Entity bundle postDelete(): hook_entity_bundle_delete()
*
* Individual revisions of an entity can also be deleted:
* @code
* $storage->deleteRevision($revision_id);
* @endcode
* This operation invokes the following operations and hooks:
* - Revision is loaded (see @ref load above).
* - Revision and field information is removed from the database.
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_revision_delete()
* - hook_entity_revision_delete()
*
* @section view View/render operations
* To make a render array for a loaded entity:
* @code
* // You can omit the language ID if the default language is being used.
* $build = $view_builder->view($entity, 'view_mode_name', $language->getId());
* @endcode
* You can also use the viewMultiple() method to view multiple entities.
*
* Hooks invoked during the operation of building a render array:
* - hook_entity_view_mode_alter()
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_build_defaults_alter()
* - hook_entity_build_defaults_alter()
*
* View builders for some types override these hooks, notably:
* - The Tour view builder does not invoke any hooks.
* - The Block view builder invokes hook_block_view_alter() and
* hook_block_view_BASE_BLOCK_ID_alter(). Note that in other view builders,
* the view alter hooks are run later in the process.
*
* During the rendering operation, the default entity viewer runs the following
* hooks and operations in the pre-render step:
* - hook_entity_view_display_alter()
* - hook_entity_prepare_view()
* - Entity fields are loaded, and render arrays are built for them using
* their formatters.
* - hook_entity_display_build_alter()
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_view()
* - hook_entity_view()
* - hook_ENTITY_TYPE_view_alter()
* - hook_entity_view_alter()
*
* Some specific builders have specific hooks:
* - The Node view builder invokes hook_node_links_alter().
* - The Comment view builder invokes hook_comment_links_alter().
*
* After this point in rendering, the theme system takes over. See the
* @link theme_render Theme system and render API topic @endlink for more
* information.
*
* @section misc Other entity hooks
* Some types of entities invoke hooks for specific operations:
* - Searching nodes:
* - hook_ranking()
* - Query is executed to find matching nodes
* - Resulting node is loaded
* - Node render array is built
* - comment_node_update_index() is called (this adds "N comments" text)
* - hook_node_search_result()
* - Search indexing nodes:
* - Node is loaded
* - Node render array is built
* - hook_node_update_index()

/**
* @defgroup entity_api Entity API
* @{
* Describes how to define and manipulate content and configuration entities.
*
* Entities, in Drupal, are objects that are used for persistent storage of
* content and configuration information. See the
* @link info_types Information types topic @endlink for an overview of the
* different types of information, and the
* @link config_api Configuration API topic @endlink for more about the
* configuration API.
*
* Each entity is an instance of a particular "entity type". Some content entity
* types have sub-types, which are known as "bundles", while for other entity
* types, there is only a single bundle. For example, the Node content entity
* type, which is used for the main content pages in Drupal, has bundles that
* are known as "content types", while the User content type, which is used for
* user accounts, has only one bundle.
*
* The sections below have more information about entities and the Entity API;
* for more detailed information, see
* https://www.drupal.org/developing/api/entity.
*
* @section define Defining an entity type
* Entity types are defined by modules, using Drupal's Plugin API (see the
* @link plugin_api Plugin API topic @endlink for more information about plugins
* in general). Here are the steps to follow to define a new entity type:
* - Choose a unique machine name, or ID, for your entity type. This normally
* starts with (or is the same as) your module's machine name. It should be
* as short as possible, and may not exceed 32 characters.
* - Define an interface for your entity's get/set methods, usually extending
* either \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityInterface or
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityInterface.
* - Define a class for your entity, implementing your interface and extending
* either \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityBase or
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityBase, with annotation for
* \@ConfigEntityType or \@ContentEntityType in its documentation block.
* If you are defining a content entity type, it is recommended to extend the
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EditorialContentEntityBase base class in order to get
* out-of-the-box support for Entity API's revisioning and publishing
* features, which will allow your entity type to be used with Drupal's
* editorial workflow provided by the Content Moderation module.
* - In the annotation, the 'id' property gives the entity type ID, and the
* 'label' property gives the human-readable name of the entity type. If you
* are defining a content entity type that uses bundles, the 'bundle_label'
* property gives the human-readable name to use for a bundle of this entity
* type (for example, "Content type" for the Node entity).
* - The annotation will refer to several handler classes, which you will also
* need to define:
* - list_builder: Define a class that extends
* \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityListBuilder (for configuration
* entities) or \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityListBuilder (for content
* entities), to provide an administrative overview for your entities.
* - add and edit forms, or default form: Define a class (or two) that
* extend(s) \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityForm to provide add and edit forms
* for your entities. For content entities, base class
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityForm is a better starting point.
* - delete form: Define a class that extends
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityConfirmFormBase to provide a delete
* confirmation form for your entities.
* - view_builder: For content entities and config entities that need to be
* viewed, define a class that implements
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityViewBuilderInterface (usually extending
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityViewBuilder), to display a single entity.
* - translation: For translatable content entities (if the 'translatable'
* annotation property has value TRUE), define a class that extends
* \Drupal\content_translation\ContentTranslationHandler, to translate
* the content. Configuration translation is handled automatically by the
* Configuration Translation module, without the need of a handler class.
* - access: If your configuration entity has complex permissions, you might
* need an access control handling, implementing
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityAccessControlHandlerInterface, but most
* entities can just use the 'admin_permission' annotation property
* instead. Note that if you are creating your own access control handler,
* you should override the checkAccess() and checkCreateAccess() methods,
* not access().
* - storage: A class implementing
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageInterface. If not specified, content
* entities will use \Drupal\Core\Entity\Sql\SqlContentEntityStorage, and
* config entities will use \Drupal\Core\Config\Entity\ConfigEntityStorage.
* You can extend one of these classes to provide custom behavior.
* - views_data: A class implementing \Drupal\views\EntityViewsDataInterface
* to provide views data for the entity type. You can autogenerate most of
* the views data by extending \Drupal\views\EntityViewsData.
* - For content entities, the annotation will refer to a number of database
* tables and their fields. These annotation properties, such as 'base_table',
* 'data_table', 'entity_keys', etc., are documented on
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityType.
* - For content entities that are displayed on their own pages, the annotation
* will refer to a 'uri_callback' function, which takes an object of the
* entity interface you have defined as its parameter, and returns routing
* information for the entity page; see node_uri() for an example. You will
* also need to add a corresponding route to your module's routing.yml file;
* see the entity.node.canonical route in node.routing.yml for an example, and see
* @ref sec_routes below for some notes.
* - Optionally, instead of defining routes, routes can be auto generated by
* providing a route handler. See @ref sec_routes. Otherwise, define routes
* and links for the various URLs associated with the entity.
* These go into the 'links' annotation, with the link type as the key, and
* the path of this link template as the value. The corresponding route
* requires the following route name:
* "entity.$entity_type_id.$link_template_type". See @ref sec_routes below for
* some routing notes. Typical link types are:
* - canonical: Default link, either to view (if entities are viewed on their
* own pages) or edit the entity.
* - delete-form: Confirmation form to delete the entity.
* - edit-form: Editing form.
* - Other link types specific to your entity type can also be defined.
* - If your content entity is fieldable, provide the 'field_ui_base_route'
* annotation property, giving the name of the route that the Manage Fields,
* Manage Display, and Manage Form Display pages from the Field UI module
* will be attached to. This is usually the bundle settings edit page, or an
* entity type settings page if there are no bundles.
* - If your content entity has bundles, you will also need to define a second
* plugin to handle the bundles. This plugin is itself a configuration entity
* type, so follow the steps here to define it. The machine name ('id'
* annotation property) of this configuration entity class goes into the
* 'bundle_entity_type' annotation property on the entity type class. For
* example, for the Node entity, the bundle class is
* \Drupal\node\Entity\NodeType, whose machine name is 'node_type'. This is
* the annotation property 'bundle_entity_type' on the
* \Drupal\node\Entity\Node class. Also, the
* bundle config entity type annotation must have a 'bundle_of' property,
* giving the machine name of the entity type it is acting as a bundle for.
* These machine names are considered permanent, they may not be renamed.
* - Additional annotation properties can be seen on entity class examples such
* as \Drupal\node\Entity\Node (content) and \Drupal\user\Entity\Role
* (configuration). These annotation properties are documented on
* \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityType.
*
* @section sec_routes Entity routes
* Entity routes can be defined in *.routing.yml files, like any other route:
* see the @link routing Routing API @endlink topic for more information.
* Another option for entity routes is to use a route provider class, and
* reference it in the annotations on the entity class: see the end of this
* section for an example.
*
* It's possible to use both a YAML file and a provider class for entity
* routes, at the same time. Avoid duplicating route names between the two:
* if a duplicate route name is found in both locations, the one in the YAML
* file takes precedence; regardless, such duplication can be confusing.
*
* Here's an example YAML route specification, for the block configure form:
* @code
* entity.block.edit_form:
* path: '/admin/structure/block/manage/{block}'
* defaults:
* _entity_form: 'block.default'
* _title: 'Configure block'
* requirements:
* _entity_access: 'block.update'
* @endcode
* Some notes on this example:
* - path: The {block} in the path is a placeholder, which (for an entity) must
* always take the form of {machine_name_of_entity_type}. In the URL, the
* placeholder value will be the ID of an entity item. When the route is used,
* the entity system will load the corresponding entity item and pass it in as
* an object to the controller for the route.
* - defaults: For entity form routes, use _entity_form rather than the generic
* _controller or _form. The value is composed of the entity type machine name
* and a form handler type from the entity annotation (see @ref define above
* for more on handlers and annotation). So, in this example, block.default
* refers to the 'default' form handler on the block entity type, whose
* annotation contains:
* @code
* handlers = {
* "form" = {
* "default" = "Drupal\block\BlockForm",
* @endcode
* If instead of YAML you want to use a route provider class:
* - \Drupal\Core\Entity\Routing\DefaultHtmlRouteProvider provides canonical,
* edit-form, and delete-form routes.
* - \Drupal\Core\Entity\Routing\AdminHtmlRouteProvider provides the same
* routes, set up to use the administrative theme for edit and delete pages.
* - You can also create your own class, extending one of these two classes if
* you only want to modify their behavior slightly.
*
* To register any route provider class, add lines like the following to your
* entity class annotation:
* @code
* handlers = {
* "route_provider" = {
* "html" = "Drupal\Core\Entity\Routing\DefaultHtmlRouteProvider",
* @endcode
*
* @section bundle Defining a content entity bundle
* For entity types that use bundles, such as Node (bundles are content types)
* and Taxonomy (bundles are vocabularies), modules and install profiles can
* define bundles by supplying default configuration in their config/install
* directories. (See the @link config_api Configuration API topic @endlink for
* general information about configuration.)
*
* There are several good examples of this in Drupal Core:
* - The Forum module defines a content type in node.type.forum.yml and a
* vocabulary in taxonomy.vocabulary.forums.yml
* - The Book module defines a content type in node.type.book.yml
* - The Standard install profile defines Page and Article content types in
* node.type.page.yml and node.type.article.yml, a Tags vocabulary in
* taxonomy.vocabulary.tags.yml, and a Node comment type in
* comment.type.comment.yml. This profile's configuration is especially
* instructive, because it also adds several fields to the Article type, and
* it sets up view and form display modes for the node types.
*
* @section load_query Loading, querying, and rendering entities
* To load entities, use the entity storage manager, which is an object
* implementing \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageInterface that you can
* retrieve with:
* @code
* $storage = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('your_entity_type');
* // Or if you have a $container variable:
* $storage = $container->get('entity_type.manager')->getStorage('your_entity_type');
* @endcode
* Here, 'your_entity_type' is the machine name of your entity type ('id'
* annotation property on the entity class), and note that you should use
* dependency injection to retrieve this object if possible. See the
* @link container Services and Dependency Injection topic @endlink for more
* about how to properly retrieve services.
*
* To query to find entities to load, use an entity query, which is an object
* implementing \Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryInterface that you can retrieve
* with:
* @code
* // Simple query:
* $query = \Drupal::entityQuery('your_entity_type');
* // Or, if you have a $container variable:
* $storage = $container->get('entity_type.manager')->getStorage('your_entity_type');
* $query = $storage->getQuery();
* @endcode
* If you need aggregation, there is an aggregate query available, which
* implements \Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryAggregateInterface:
* @code
* $query \Drupal::entityQueryAggregate('your_entity_type');
* // Or:
* $query = $storage->getAggregateQuery('your_entity_type');
* @endcode
*
* In either case, you can then add conditions to your query, using methods
* like condition(), exists(), etc. on $query; add sorting, pager, and range
* if needed, and execute the query to return a list of entity IDs that match
* the query.
*
* Here is an example, using the core File entity:
* @code
* $fids = Drupal::entityQuery('file')
* ->condition('status', \Drupal\file\FileInterface::STATUS_PERMANENT, '<>')
* ->condition('changed', REQUEST_TIME - $age, '<')
* ->range(0, 100)
* ->execute();
* $files = $storage->loadMultiple($fids);
* @endcode
*
* The normal way of viewing entities is by using a route, as described in the
* sections above. If for some reason you need to render an entity in code in a
* particular view mode, you can use an entity view builder, which is an object
* implementing \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityViewBuilderInterface that you can
* retrieve with:
* @code
* $view_builder = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getViewBuilder('your_entity_type');
* // Or if you have a $container variable:
* $view_builder = $container->get('entity_type.manager')->getViewBuilder('your_entity_type');
* @endcode
* Then, to build and render the entity:
* @code
* // You can omit the language ID, by default the current content language will
* // be used. If no translation is available for the current language, fallback
* // rules will be used.
* $build = $view_builder->view($entity, 'view_mode_name', $language->getId());
* // $build is a render array.
* $rendered = \Drupal::service('renderer')->render($build);
* @endcode
*
* @section sec_access Access checking on entities
* Entity types define their access permission scheme in their annotation.
* Access permissions can be quite complex, so you should not assume any
* particular permission scheme. Instead, once you have an entity object
* loaded, you can check for permission for a particular operation (such as
* 'view') at the entity or field level by calling:
* @code
* $entity->access($operation);
* $entity->nameOfField->access($operation);
* @endcode
* The interface related to access checking in entities and fields is
* \Drupal\Core\Access\AccessibleInterface.
*
* The default entity access control handler invokes two hooks while checking
* access on a single entity: hook_entity_access() is invoked first, and
* then hook_ENTITY_TYPE_access() (where ENTITY_TYPE is the machine name
* of the entity type). If no module returns a TRUE or FALSE value from
* either of these hooks, then the entity's default access checking takes
* place. For create operations (creating a new entity), the hooks that
* are invoked are hook_entity_create_access() and
* hook_ENTITY_TYPE_create_access() instead.
*
* The access to an entity can be influenced in several ways:
* - To explicitly allow access, return an AccessResultInterface object with
* isAllowed() returning TRUE. Other modules can override this access by
* returning TRUE for isForbidden().
* - To explicitly forbid access, return an AccessResultInterface object with
* isForbidden() returning TRUE. Access will be forbidden even if your module
* (or another module) also returns TRUE for isNeutral() or isAllowed().
* - To neither allow nor explicitly forbid access, return an
* AccessResultInterface object with isNeutral() returning TRUE.
* - If your module does not return an AccessResultInterface object, neutral
* access will be assumed.
*
* The Node entity type has a complex system for determining access, which
* developers can interact with. This is described in the
* @link node_access Node access topic. @endlink
*
* @see i18n
* @see entity_crud
* @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityRepositoryInterface::getTranslationFromContext()
