interface EntityHandlerInterface (View source)

Defines an interface for entity handlers.

This interface can be implemented by entity handlers that require dependency injection.

Methods

createInstance(ContainerInterface $container, EntityTypeInterface $entity_type)

Instantiates a new instance of this entity handler.

Details

static EntityHandlerInterface createInstance(ContainerInterface $container, EntityTypeInterface $entity_type)

Instantiates a new instance of this entity handler.

This is a factory method that returns a new instance of this object. The factory should pass any needed dependencies into the constructor of this object, but not the container itself. Every call to this method must return a new instance of this object; that is, it may not implement a singleton.

Parameters

ContainerInterface $container

The service container this object should use.

EntityTypeInterface $entity_type

The entity type definition.

Return Value

EntityHandlerInterface

A new instance of the entity handler.
