So I’m having a bit of a difficult time finding out how to get the information I want.

I have an entity reference field – call it field_event_type. This is an entity reference to a taxonomy. I am trying to programmatically get the possible vocabularies associated with this entity reference and get the fields/properties associated with them. Basically walking each of the bundles to get their relevant information.

So far I can get the field definition on the parent node, which looks like this:

Array (     [uuid] => 32eeda5f-270f-477d-b24c-75ed15e69b2a     [langcode] => en     [status] => 1     [dependencies] => Array         (             [module] => Array                 (                     [0] => node                     [1] => taxonomy                 )          )      [id] => node.field_event_type     [field_name] => field_event_type     [entity_type] => node     [type] => entity_reference     [settings] => Array         (             [target_type] => taxonomy_term         )      [module] => core     [locked] =>      [cardinality] => 1     [translatable] => 1     [indexes] => Array         (         )      [persist_with_no_fields] =>      [custom_storage] =>  ) 

By doing this:

Drupal::config('field.storage.node.field_event_type')->get(); 

Based on this link:

field_info_field() deprecated, what's the equivalent?

But I’m not sure how to get the vocabularies or even if that’s the right thing to do to get the information I want.

How would I go about getting the vocabularies? I should be able to just load by VID and get the correct fields at that point, correct?
