Feature: #69568 - FormEngine data processing
See forge#69568
Description
Warning: The Form
data structure will change in the future and extensions must
not rely on array or class structures at the moment.
The FormEngine construct to render records has been split to two main parts where the first data processing part takes care of gathering and processing all data needed for the second part to render final form data.
The data processing is done via Form
that returns a data array that can be given
to the outer most render container. The array contains all main data required by the
render part like final TCA
as well as the processed database row.
Extensions can change the data processing by registering additional items in the data processing
chain. For casual TCA
based database records, the Form
Tca
is
used to define relevant data provider within
$GLOBALS
. Additional
data provider can be added at specific positions using the depends
and before
keywords
relative to other providers.
