bool equals(FieldItemListInterface $list_to_compare)

Determines equality to another object implementing FieldItemListInterface.

This method is usually used by the storage to check for not computed value changes, which will be saved into the storage.

Parameters

FieldItemListInterface $list_to_compare

Parameters

FieldItemListInterface $original_items

The original field items to compare against.
string $langcode

The language that should be checked.

Return Value

bool

TRUE if the field has relevant changes, FALSE if not.
