=======================================
form.data ViewHelper `<flux:form.data>`
=======================================


Converts raw flexform xml into an associative array, and applies any
transformation that may be configured for fields/objects.

Example: Fetch page configuration inside content element
========================================================

Since the `page` variable is available in fluidcontent elements, we
can use it to access page configuration data:

    <flux:form.data table="pages" field="tx_fed_page_flexform" record="{page}" />

Example: Check if page is accessible before loading data
========================================================

Data of disabled and deleted pages cannot be loaded with flux:form.data
and lead to an TYPO3FluidFluidCoreViewHelperException.
To prevent this exception, check if the page is accessible by generating
a link to it:

    <f:if condition="{f:uri.page(pageUid: myUid)}">
        <flux:form.data table="pages" field="tx_fed_page_flexform" uid="{myUid}" as="pageSettings">
            ...
        </flux:form.data>
    </f:if>
