Breaking: #107356 - Use Record API in List Module 

Description 

The Content > List backend module has been refactored to use the \RecordInterface and related Record API internally instead of working with raw database row arrays.

This modernization introduces stricter typing and improves data consistency. As a result, several public method signatures have been updated.

The following public methods in DatabaseRecordList have changed their signatures:

• renderListRow() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• makeControl() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• makeCheckbox() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• languageFlag() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• makeLocalizationPanel() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• linkWrapItems() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the fourth parameter.
• getPreviewUriBuilder() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array as the second parameter.
• isRecordDeletePlaceholder() now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array.
• isRowListingConditionFulfilled() has dropped the first parameter $table and now expects a RecordInterface object instead of an array.

These changes enable the List module to operate on structured Record objects, providing better type safety, consistency, and a foundation for further modernization of the backend record handling.

Impact 

Code that calls these methods directly must be updated to pass \RecordInterface objects instead of database row arrays.

Affected installations 

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions that:

• Extend or XCLASS DatabaseRecordList and override any of the affected methods.
• Call the affected methods directly with array-based record data.

Migration 

When calling affected methods, use the Record API to create a Record object from a database row:

Before:

$databaseRecordList->renderListRow($table, $rowArray, $indent, $translations, $enabled);

After:

use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\RecordList\DatabaseRecordList;
use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Record\RecordFactory;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility;

$recordFactory = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(RecordFactory::class);
$record = $recordFactory->createResolvedRecordFromDatabaseRow($table, $rowArray);
$databaseRecordList->renderListRow($table, $record, $indent, $translations, $enabled);
