Create a form

Table of content:

Creation and edition form

You can create an form for edit or create record.

$form = \Ameos\AmeosForm\Form\Factory::make('tx_myextension_myplugin', $mymodel);

Where $mymodel is an instance of an extbase model.

For creation :

$mymodel = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\MyModel::class);

For edition :

$mymodel = $this->myModelRepository->findByUid($modelIdentifier);

Search form

You can create a search form.

$searchform = \Ameos\AmeosForm\Form\Factory::make('tx_myextension_myplugin', $myrepository);

You can add where clause with "addWhereClause" method.

Example :

$searchform->addWhereClause([
	'type'    => 'logicalOr',
	'clauses' => [
		['field' => 'myfield', 'type'  => 'like', 'value' => 'myvalue1'],
		['field' => 'myfield', 'type'  => 'like', 'value' => 'myvalue2'],
		['field' => 'myfield', 'type'  => 'like', 'value' => 'myvalue3'],
	]
]);
$searchform->addWhereClause([
	'field' => 'myfield',
	'type'  => 'equals',
	'value' => 'myvalue'
]);

You can associate a list with a search form.

$template = ExtensionManagementUtility::extPath('ameos_intervention') . 'Resources/Private/Templates/Controller/ActionList.html';
$list = $this->objectManager->create(\Ameos\AmeosForm\Library\RecordList::class, $searchform, $template, $this->controllerContext, 'field_to_order', 'order_direction (ASC | DESC)');

$this->view->assign('searchform', $searchform);
$this->view->assign('list', $list);

For templating list, see Templating with fluid part.

The repository used by the seach form must extends \Ameos\AmeosForm\Domain\Repository\SearchableRepository

Other form

You can create a form without model or repository link.

For example, a contact form without database insertion.

$form = \Ameos\AmeosForm\Form\Factory::make('tx_myextension_myplugin');

Bind a request

After submit, you can bind the request to the form. And after that, you can do everything you want : store in database, send a mail...

$mymodel = $this->myModelRepository->findByUid($modelIdentifier);

$form = \Ameos\AmeosForm\Form\Factory::make('tx_myplugin', $mymodel);
$form->add('name', 'text')->validator('name', 'required', 'Name is mandatory');
$form->add('email', 'email')->validator('email', 'email', 'Email is not valid');
$form->add('submit', 'submit', array('label' => 'Send'));

if($form->isSubmitted()) {
	$form->bindRequest($this->request);
	if($form->isValid()) {
		
		$this->myModelRepository->add($mymodel);
		
		$this->addFlashMessage('New record created');
		$this->redirect('index')
	}
}

$this->view->assign('form', $form);

Add an element to the form

After the creation of your form, you add element easily.

$form->add($name, $type', $configuration);

For example : $form->add('my-radiobutton', 'radio', array('items' => array('value1' => 'label 1', 'value2' => 'label 2')));

All elements are detailled on Elements part.

Add a constraint to the form

After the creation of your form, you add constraint easily.

$form->addConstraint($field, $type, $message, $configuration); //  $configuration is optional. Depends the type of validator

For example : $form->addConstraint('my_field', 'required', LocalizationUtility::translate('my_field.required', 'ExtensionKey'));

All constraints are detailled on Constraints part.

Disable form protection

If you want, you can disable form protection.

Crsf protection :

$form->disableCsrftoken();

Honeypot protection :

$form->disableHoneypot();
