Feature: #99739 - Associative array keys for TCA items
See forge#99739
Description
It is now possible to define associative array keys for the
items
configuration of TCA types
select,
radio and
check. The
new keys are called:
label,
value,
icon,
group and
description.
Examples:
'columns' => [
'select' => [
'label' => 'My select field',
'config' => [
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectSingle',
'items' => [
[
'label' => 'Selection 1',
'value' => '1',
'icon' => 'my-icon-identifier',
'group' => 'default',
],
[
'label' => 'Selection 2',
'value' => '2',
],
],
],
],
'select_checkbox' => [
'label' => 'My select checkbox field',
'config' => [
'type' => 'select',
'renderType' => 'selectCheckBox',
'items' => [
[
'label' => 'My select checkbox field',
'value' => '1',
'icon' => 'my-icon-identifier',
'group' => 'default',
'description' => 'My custom description',
],
[
'label' => 'My select checkbox field',
'value' => '2',
],
],
],
],
'radio' => [
'label' => 'My radio field',
'config' => [
'type' => 'radio',
'items' => [
[
'label' => 'Radio 1',
'value' => '1',
],
[
'label' => 'Radio 2',
'value' => '2',
],
],
],
],
'check' => [
'config' => [
'type' => 'check',
'items' => [
[
'invertStateDisplay' => true,
'label' => 'Click on me',
],
],
],
],
],

Impact
It is now much easier and clearer to define the TCA
items configuration
with associative array keys. The struggle to remember which option is first,
label or value, is now over. In addition, optional keys like
icon and
group can be omitted, for example, when one desires to set the
description option.
