Code

function entity_view(EntityInterface $entity, $view_mode, $langcode = NULL, $reset = FALSE) {
  $render_controller = \Drupal::entityManager()->getViewBuilder($entity->getEntityTypeId());
  if ($reset) {
    $render_controller->resetCache([$entity]);
  }
  return $render_controller->view($entity, $view_mode, $langcode);
}
