protected function FieldBlock::getFieldDefinition in Field as Block 8.2

Gets the field definition.

A FieldBlock works on an entity type across bundles, and thus only has access to field storage definitions. In order to be able to use formatters, we create a generic field definition out of that storage definition.

Parameters

string $field_name: The field name.

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Field\FieldDefinitionInterface The field definition used by this block.
