public function TypedDataManagerInterface::createDataDefinition

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':

$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.
