8 - How do I load a Term entity from an EntityReferenceItem? I have a content type with a taxonomy term. I can load the first EntityReferenceItem using 

$node-&gt;country-&gt;get(0) 

then I can tid doing -&gt;target_id (and then manually load the Term object via Term::load.

But is there a function of EntityReferenceItem that I can call to get it to load the corresponding term? I'm thinking something like:

  $node-&gt;country-&gt;get(0)-&gt;getReferenced()


I don't see anything at the Drupal API reference
$node-&gt;country-&gt;entity.


See http://wizzlern.nl/drupal/drupal-8-entity-cheat-sheet, where it lists the properties of common field types.

If you want to see the properties of a field type, one way to do that is by looking at the propertyDefinitions() method of the field type class, in this case EntityReferenceItem.
