How to check if field exists in an entity?

Question

In entity node, I want to check if 'abc' field exists or not. If exists, I will get its value by $value->get('abc').

But the content type where this field doesn't exists, gives error:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Have you tried catching the exception? – Clive♦ Jun 20 '16 at 13:30 — Clive♦, Jun 20 '16 at 13:30

You can use the method hasField():

$entity->hasField('abc')

Just in case anyone else gets caught out by this, hasField is only available in Drupal 8. – Monkeybrain Sep 19 '16 at 15:54
