/**
 * Interface for entities having fields.
 *
 * This interface builds upon the general interfaces provided by the typed data
 * API, while extending them with entity-specific additions. I.e., fieldable
 * entities implement the ComplexDataInterface among others, thus it is complex
 * data containing fields as its data properties. The contained fields have to
 * implement \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemListInterface, which builds upon typed
 * data interfaces as well.
 *
 * When implementing this interface which extends Traversable, make sure to list
 * IteratorAggregate or Iterator before this interface in the implements clause.

  /**
   * Provides base field definitions for an entity type.
   *
   * Implementations typically use the class
   * \Drupal\Core\Field\BaseFieldDefinition for creating the field definitions;
   * for example a 'name' field could be defined as the following:
   * @code
   * $fields['name'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('string')
   *   ->setLabel(t('Name'));
   * @endcode
   *
   * By definition, base fields are fields that exist for every bundle. To
   * provide definitions for fields that should only exist on some bundles, use
   * \Drupal\Core\Entity\FieldableEntityInterface::bundleFieldDefinitions().
   *
   * The definitions returned by this function can be overridden for all
   * bundles by hook_entity_base_field_info_alter() or overridden on a
   * per-bundle basis via 'base_field_override' configuration entities.
   *
   * @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface $entity_type
   *   The entity type definition. Useful when a single class is used for multiple,
   *   possibly dynamic entity types.

   * on some bundles) as well as bundle-specific overrides of base fields
   * (fields that are defined in $base_field_definitions, and therefore exist
   * for all bundles). However, bundle-specific base field overrides can also
   * be provided by 'base_field_override' configuration entities, and that is
   * the recommended approach except in cases where an entity type needs to
   * provide a bundle-specific base field override that is decoupled from
   * configuration. Note that for most entity types, the bundles themselves are
   * derived from configuration (e.g., 'node' bundles are managed via
   * 'node_type' configuration entities), so decoupling bundle-specific base
   * field overrides from configuration only makes sense for entity types that
   * also decouple their bundles from configuration. In cases where both this
   * function returns a bundle-specific override of a base field and a
   * 'base_field_override' configuration entity exists, the latter takes
   * precedence.
