I have an Entity: EntityX. It installs correctly and works the way that I want it to; with, of course, one exception.
I want to attach an entity reference to a specific vocabulary. I have tried:
My vocabulary's machine name is: custom_vocabulary
In EntityX's definition I have the following defined in the baseFieldDefinitions function:
$fields['my_custom_vocabulary'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('entity_reference')
->setLabel(t('Vocabulary'))
->setDescription(t('What was this tagged with.'))
->setSetting('target_type', 'custom_vocabulary')
->setSetting('handler', 'default')
->setDisplayOptions('view', array(
'label' => 'above',
'type' => 'author',
'weight' => -3,
))
->setDisplayOptions('form', array(
'type' => 'entity_reference_autocomplete',
'settings' => array(
'match_operator' => 'CONTAINS',
'size' => 60,
'placeholder' => '',
),
'weight' => -3,
))
->setDisplayConfigurable('form', TRUE)
->setDisplayConfigurable('view', TRUE);
But when I go to install it, I get the following error:
Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "custom_vocabulary" entity type does not exist. in /brew/www/html/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityTypeManager.php:133
While looking at the article defined in the installation profile for Drupal, I see that they use it as a field and not a true entity reference. Is there no way for me to do it this way? I can't have this all nicely bundled into one single entity.
What I don't know how to do is add a term from a vocabulary to an entity type.
