Wrong type of property MenuLinkContent::$link

Problem/Motivation

According to the class code comment, this is the property of the link property on an instance of a MenuLinkContent:

@property \Drupal\link\LinkItemInterface $link

This seems to not be the case. It's in fact a Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemList so basically a list of Drupal\link\Plugin\Field\FieldType\LinkItem objects. Or a list of LinkItemInterface if you want.

To verify this in a clean install of Drupal 10.1.x I did the following:

  • Installed the standard profile
  • Created a menu link
  • Ran the script below
<?php

use Drupal\menu_link_content\Entity\MenuLinkContent;

// The link with an ID of 1 is the one I just created.
$link = MenuLinkContent::load(1);
var_dump([
  get_class($link),
  get_class($link->link),
  get_class($link->link->first()),
]);

The output was as follows:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(47) "Drupal\menu_link_content\Entity\MenuLinkContent"
  [1]=>
  string(31) "Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemList"
  [2]=>
  string(43) "Drupal\link\Plugin\Field\FieldType\LinkItem"
}
