public function ContentEntityBase::__get

public &ContentEntityBase::__get($name)

Implements the magic method for getting object properties.

@todo: A lot of code still uses non-fields (e.g. $entity->content in view builders) by reference. Clean that up.

Class

Implements Entity Field API specific enhancements to the Entity class.

Namespace

Drupal\Core\Entity

Code

public function &__get($name) {
  // If this is an entity field, handle it accordingly. We first check whether
  // a field object has been already created. If not, we create one.
  if (isset($this->fields[$name][$this->activeLangcode])) {
    return $this->fields[$name][$this->activeLangcode];
  }
  // Inline getFieldDefinition() to speed things up.
  if (!isset($this->fieldDefinitions)) {
    $this->getFieldDefinitions();
  }
  if (isset($this->fieldDefinitions[$name])) {
    $return = $this->getTranslatedField($name, $this->activeLangcode);
    return $return;
  }
  // Else directly read/write plain values. That way, non-field entity
  // properties can always be accessed directly.
  if (!isset($this->values[$name])) {
    $this->values[$name] = NULL;
  }
  return $this->values[$name];
