* @{
* Implement a content entity.
*
* This module demonstrates implementing a content entity.
*
* Entity API is the API that stores pieces of content and configuration for
* Drupal core. For instance, if you've encountered node content types, you've
* encountered entities of type 'node.'
*
* This example implements the Entity API so that we have an entity type usable
* by the user which you might think of as specialized nodes, but which are
* different from nodes. These entities are called Contact, and are known
* internally by the machine name content_entity_example_contact.
*
* Contact is a fieldable content entity used to hold structured information
* without the overhead of using a node content type. 'Fieldable' means you can
* attach fields to it, like you can with nodes. It is defined programmatically
* (completely in code). We will show the main techniques to handle and expose
* the contents of this entity type.
*
* The Contact entity will demonstrate the main tasks for an entity:
* - define
* - save
* - load
* - view
* - edit
* - delete
* - control access
*
* Where ever possible, we use the amazing tools built into D8 natively.
