  execute()
  execute_returns()


Class: get_entity_generator  - X-Ref

External function for getting properties of entity generators.

execute_parameters()   X-Ref
Define parameters for external function.

The parameter is either in the format 'entity' or 'component_name > entity'. There is no appropriate param type for a
string like this containing angle brackets, so we will do PARAM_RAW. The value will be parsed by
behat_data_generators::parse_entity_type, which validates the format of the parameter and throws an exception if it is not
correct.

return: \external_function_parameters

execute(string $entitytype)   X-Ref
Return a list of the required fields for a given entity type.

param: string $entitytype
return: array

execute_returns()   X-Ref
Define return values.

Return required fields

return: \external_single_structure
