function ContentEntityBase::__get

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.

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.

    // properties can always be accessed directly.
