Provides custom base field definitions for a content entity type.

Field (storage) definitions returned by this hook must run through the regular field storage life-cycle operations: they need to be properly installed, updated, and uninstalled. This would typically be done through the Entity Update API provided by the entity definition update manager.

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface $entity_type: The entity type definition.

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Field\FieldDefinitionInterface[] An array of field definitions, keyed by field name.
