FlexFormProcessor¶

TYPO3 offers “FlexForms” which can be used to store data within an XML structure inside a single DB column. The data processor TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor converts the FlexForm data of a given field into a Fluid readable array.

Options¶

fieldname¶

Required:	false
Type:	string
Default:	‘pi_flexform’

Field name of the column the FlexForm data is stored in

as¶

Required:	false
Type:	string
Default:	‘flexFormData’

Name for the variable in the Fluid template.

Examples¶

Example of a minimal TypoScript configuration¶

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor

The converted array can be accessed within the Fluid template with the {flexFormData} variable.

Example of an advanced TypoScript configuration¶

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
10 {
    fieldName = my_flexform_field
    as = myOutputVariable
}

The converted array can be accessed within the Fluid template with the {myOutputVariable} variable.

Example with a custom sub-processor¶

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
10 {
    fieldName = my_flexform_field
    as = myOutputVariable
    dataProcessing {
       10 = Vendor\MyExtension\DataProcessing\CustomFlexFormProcessor
    }
}
