Create Field

Takes the drush fc field:create and makes a class out of it called CreateFieldManager to simplify creating fields in a custom module. It exposes one public function fieldCreate(array $options) that takes the same array of options as the fieldCreate function in Drush\Commands\field\FieldCreateCommands.

Installation

Create a new Drupal installation to test. Add a biography content type. Download and install the module. There is a tester module that comes with it. It creates and deletes a field automatically when you hit the controller route so you know how to use it so make sure you have built a test environment.

If there is a need for this in Core I would love to see it end up there.
