How in the CakePHP 3 get all fields info from the table model?

For example, in the CakePHP2, method of model schema.

$fields = $this->Article->schema();

//return
$fields = [
  'id' => [
     'type' => 'integer',
     'comment' => null,
     'size' => 11,
     'length' => 10,
     'key' => 'primary'
   ],
   'name' => [
     'type' => 'string',
     'length' => 255,
     'comment' => 'Enter a name for article, please...',
     'default' => null
   ],
   /* ... other fields ...*/
];

Thanks. It’s great!
https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/schema-system.html#schema-collections

        // insert into begin of the controller file
        use Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager;

        $db = ConnectionManager::get('default');

        // Create a schema collection.
        $collection = $db->schemaCollection();

        // Get a single table (instance of Schema\TableSchema)
        $tableSchema = $collection->describe('articles');
        
        //Get columns list from table
        $columns = $tableSchema->columns();
        
        //Empty array for fields
        $fields = [];
        
        //iterate columns
        foreach ( $columns as $column ){
            $fields[ $column ] = $tableSchema->column( $column );
        }

And now - in the $fields return:

[
	'id' => [
		'type' => 'integer',
		'length' => (int) 10,
