class DynamicEntityReference in Dynamic Entity Reference 8

Same name and namespace in other branches

8.2 src/Plugin/DataType/DynamicEntityReference.php \Drupal\dynamic_entity_reference\Plugin\DataType\DynamicEntityReference

Defines a 'dynamic_entity_reference' data type.

This serves as 'entity' property of dynamic entity reference field items and gets its value set from the parent, i.e. DynamicEntityReferenceItem.

The plain value of this reference is the entity object, i.e. an instance of \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface. For setting the value the entity object or the entity ID may be passed.

Note that the definition of the referenced entity's type is required. A reference defining the type of the referenced entity can be created as following:

$definition = \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityDefinition::create($entity_type);
\Drupal\Core\TypedData\DataReferenceDefinition::create('entity')
  ->setTargetDefinition($definition);

@property int id @property \Drupal\dynamic_entity_reference\Plugin\Field\FieldType\DynamicEntityReferenceItem parent @property \Drupal\Core\Entity\Plugin\DataType\EntityAdapter target

Plugin annotation


@DataType(
  id = "dynamic_entity_reference",
  label = @Translation("Dynamic entity reference"),
  definition_class = "\Drupal\dynamic_reference\DataDynamicReferenceDefinition"
)
