customfield_provider:: (3 methods):
  export_customfield_data()
  before_delete_data()
  before_delete_fields()


Interface: customfield_provider  - X-Ref

Interface customfield_provider, all customfield plugins need to implement it

export_customfield_data(data_controller $data, \stdClass $exportdata, array $subcontext)   X-Ref
Preprocesses data object that is going to be exported

Minimum implementation:
writer::with_context($data->get_context())->export_data($subcontext, $exportdata);

param: data_controller $data
param: \stdClass $exportdata generated object to be exported
param: array $subcontext subcontext to use when exporting
return: mixed

before_delete_data(string $dataidstest, array $params, array $contextids)   X-Ref
Allows plugins to delete everything they store related to the data (usually files)

If plugin does not store any related files or other information, implement as an empty function

param: string $dataidstest select query for data id (note that it may also return data for other field types)
param: array $params named parameters for the select query
param: array $contextids list of affected data contexts
return: mixed

before_delete_fields(string $fieldidstest, array $params, array $contextids)   X-Ref
Allows plugins to delete everything they store related to the field configuration (usually files)

The implementation should not delete data or anything related to the data, since "before_delete_data" is
invoked separately.

If plugin does not store any related files or other information, implement as an empty function

param: string $fieldidstest select query for field id (note that it may also return fields of other types)
param: array $params named parameters for the select query
param: int[] $contextids list of affected configuration contexts
