DataType

Defines a data type annotation object.

The typed data API allows modules to support any kind of data based upon pre-defined primitive types and interfaces for complex data and lists.

Defined data types may map to one of the pre-defined primitive types in \Drupal\Core\TypedData\Primitive or may be complex data types, containing on or more data properties. Typed data objects for complex data types have to implement the \Drupal\Core\TypedData\ComplexDataInterface. Further interface that may be implemented are:

Furthermore, lists of data items are represented by objects implementing the \Drupal\Core\TypedData\ListInterface. A list contains items of the same data type, is ordered and may contain duplicates. The class used for a list of items of a certain type may be specified using the 'list class' key.
