Interface FieldDefinition

public interface FieldDefinition

Defines a Custom Field and its meta-information. This FieldDefinition is similar to an AttributeDefinition of Product Types.

Example to create an instance using the builder pattern 

     FieldDefinition fieldDefinition = FieldDefinition.builder()
             .type(typeBuilder -> typeBuilder)
             .name("{name}")
             .label(labelBuilder -> labelBuilder)
             .required(true)
             .build()
