\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
converts the
FlexForm data of a given field into a Fluid-readable array.

Field name of the column the FlexForm data is stored in.
- as¶
- Required

Examples¶
Example of a minimal TypoScript configuration¶
# Before TYPO3 v12.1 you have to specify the fully-qualified class name of the processor
# dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
# Since TYPO3 v12.1 one can also use the available alias
10 = flex-form
New in version 12.1: One can use the alias flex-form
instead
of the fully-qualified class name
\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¶
# Before TYPO3 v12.1 you have to specify the fully-qualified class name of the processor
# dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
# Since TYPO3 v12.1 one can also use the available alias
10 = flex-form
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¶
# Before TYPO3 v12.1 you have to specify the fully-qualified class name of the processor
# dataProcessing.10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
# Since TYPO3 v12.1 one can also use the available alias
10 = flex-form
10 {
fieldName = my_flexform_field
as = myOutputVariable
dataProcessing {
10 = Vendor\MyExtension\DataProcessing\CustomFlexFormProcessor
}
}
