Class

EntityResourceTestBase

Code

protected function getModifiedEntityForPostTesting() {
  $normalized_entity = $this
    ->getNormalizedPostEntity();

  // Ensure that all the unique fields of the entity type get a new random
  // value.
  foreach (static::$uniqueFieldNames as $field_name) {
    $field_definition = $this->entity
      ->getFieldDefinition($field_name);
    $field_type_class = $field_definition

      ->getClass();
    $normalized_entity[$field_name] = $field_type_class::generateSampleValue($field_definition);
