function FieldItemInterface::calculateDependencies

Calculates dependencies for field items.

Dependencies are saved in the field configuration entity and are used to determine configuration synchronization order. For example, if the field type's default value is a content entity, this method should return an array of dependencies listing the content entities.

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Field\FieldDefinitionInterface $field_definition: The field definition.

Return value

array An array of dependencies grouped by type (config, content, module, theme). For example:

[
    'config' => [
        'user.role.anonymous',
        'user.role.authenticated',
    ],
    'content' => [
        'node:article:f0a189e6-55fb-47fb-8005-5bef81c44d6d',
    ],
    'module' => [
        'node',
        'user',
    ],
    'theme' => [
        'claro',
    ],
