# Entity Construction Kit (ECK)

The Entity Construction Kit (ECK) builds upon the entity system to create a
flexible and extensible data modeling system both with a UI for site builders,
and with useful abstractions (classes, plugins, etc) to help developers use
entities with ease.

ECK allows the creation and management of entity types with custom properties;
adding bundles to entity types; and fields to bundles, with the help of the
Field UI module.

For a full description of the module, visit the
[project page](https://www.drupal.org/project/eck).
