* @{
* Overview of the Views module API
*
* The Views module is a generalized query and display engine, which can be used
* to make views (formatted lists, grids, feeds, and other output) of items
* (often entities, but can be other types of data). Developers can interact
* with Views in several ways:
* - Provide plugins: Views plugins govern nearly every aspect of views,
* including querying (sorting, filtering, etc.) and display (at several
* levels of granularity, ranging from the entire view to the details of a
* field). See the @link views_plugins Views plugins topic @endlink for
* more information.
* - Provide data: Data types can be provided to Views by implementing
* hook_views_data(), and data types provided by other modules can be altered
* by implementing hook_views_data_alter(). To provide views data for an
* entity, create a class implementing
* \Drupal\views\EntityViewsDataInterface and reference this in the

Alex Pott

* "views_data" annotation in the entity class. You can autogenerate big parts

* of the integration if you extend the \Drupal\views\EntityViewsData base

// Some tables are "base" tables, meaning that they can be the base tables
// for views. Non-base tables can only be brought in via relationships in

// meaning that when the other table is available in a view (either as the
// base table or through a relationship), this table's fields, filters, etc.
// are automatically made available without having to add an additional
// relationship. To define an implicit relationship that will make your
// table automatically available when another table is present, add a 'join'
// section to your 'table' section. Note that it is usually only a good idea
// to do this for one-to-one joins, because otherwise your automatic join
// will add more rows to the view. It is also not a good idea to do this if
// most views won't need your table -- if that is the case, define a
// relationship instead (see below).
// If you've decided an automatic join is a good idea, here's how to do it;
// the resulting SQL query will look something like this:
// @code
// ... FROM example_table et ... JOIN node_field_data nfd
