The docs I've found so far tell how to add bundle-specific fields in either hook_entity_bundle_field_info() or in bundleFieldDefinitions() in my content entity class. While those work it seems cumbersome since they put all bundle field definitions in the same place. Since bundle classes extend a content entity class, it seems like it would be a lot cleaner to define additional fields in the bundle class they belong to.

Is that possible?

I've tried both implementing bundleFieldDefinitions() and overriding baseFieldDefinitions() in my bundle class, but it appears they never get called there.

  • Is your module available publically? Trying to implement bundle class but not able to succeed

  • This is currently a work project. I do plan on creating an example module and making that public when I get this all figured out.

    Your .module file looks like it's still implementing hook_entity_bundle_info_alter(). See api.drupal.org/api/drupal/… and define your bundles like this $bundles['my_type']['my_bundle'] = [ 'label' => t('My bundle'), 'class' => MyBundle::class ];

  • For your bundle fields, see api.drupal.org/api/drupal/…

I was able to do this by implementing bundleFieldDefinitions in both my content entity class and my bundle class. The bundle class defines its fields, then the entity class bundleFieldDefinitions() determines the bundle and calls the appropriate bundle class bundleFieldDefinitions()
