function hook_field_type_category_info_alter

Allows modules to alter the field type category information.

This hook provides a way for modules to modify or add to the existing category information. Modules can use this hook to modify the properties of existing categories. It can also be used to define custom field type categories although the use of YAML-based plugins should be preferred over the hook.

Parameters

array &$categories: An associative array of field type categories, keyed by category machine name.
