public TypedDataManager::createDataDefinition($data_type)
Creates a new data definition object.
While data definitions objects may be created directly if the definition class used by a data type is known, this method allows the creation of data definitions for any given data type.
For example, if a definition for a map is to be created, the following code could be used instead of calling this method with the argument 'map':
1 | $map_definition = \Drupal\Core\TypedData\MapDataDefinition::create(); |
Parameters
string $data_type: The data type plugin ID, for which a data definition object should be created.
Return value
\Drupal\Core\TypedData\DataDefinitionInterface A data definition object for the given data type. The class of this object is provided by the definition_class in the plugin annotation.
Overrides TypedDataManagerInterface::createDataDefinition
