Define bundle classes via attributes

Problem/Motivation

Currently to declare a bundle class you have to implement hook_entity_bundle_info_alter() and set the class for each bundle. If you have many classes scattered across many modules you need to implement this many times. This can also lead to many use statements in your .module files to import all the classes just to reference the class name.

It would be a nicer experience to simply place an attribute on the bundle class.

#[Bundle(
  entityType: 'node',
  bundle: 'article',
  label: new TranslatableMarkup('Article'),
)]
class Article extends Node { }

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

The Bundle Class Attribute → module provides a proof of concept using plugins.

Such a simple feature could exist in core.

Remaining tasks

  • Determine if this is something we want in core
  • Determine if there is a better approach
  • Implement the core solution
