function hook_entity_info_alter

Alter the entity type definitions.

Modules may implement this hook to alter the information that defines an entity type. All properties that are available in \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityManager can be altered here.

Do not use this hook to add information to entity types. Use hook_entity_info() for that instead.

Parameters

array $entity_info: An associative array of all entity type definitions, keyed by the entity type name. Passed by reference.
