Feature: #97188 - New registration for element browsers¶
See forge#97188
Description¶
The system extension backend provides different element browsers,
such as the "File browser" or the "Database browser" to select files
and records in e.g. FormEngine fields. Extension authors are able to
register their own browsers. This was previously done using global
configuration.
However, since all element browsers have to implement the
ElementBrowserInterface, this fact is now used to automatically
register the element browsers, based on the interface, if
autoconfigure is enabled in Services.yaml. Alternatively,
one can manually tag a custom element browser with the
recordlist.elementbrowser tag (see section "Migration" in the
breaking changelog).
Due to the autoconfiguration, the identifier has to be provided by the
class directly, using the now required getIdentifier() method.
When extending \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Browser\AbstractElementBrowser
it's sufficient to set the $identifier class property.
Impact¶
element browsers are now automatically registered through the service
configuration, based on the implemented interface.
