Feature: #94501 - FAL support for FlexFormProcessor¶

Description¶

The FlexFormProcessor is now able to resolve FAL references by its own.

Each FlexForm field, which should be resolved, needs a reference definition to the foreign_match_fields. This reference is later used in the FilesProcessor to resolve the correct FAL resource.

Example of an advanced TypoScript configuration, which processes the field my_flexform_field, resolves its FAL references and assigns the array to the myOutputVariable variable:

10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\FlexFormProcessor
10 {
  fieldName = my_flexform_field
  references {
    my_flex_form_group.my_flex_form_field = my_field_reference
  }
  as = myOutputVariable
}

Impact¶

FAL references within a FlexForm can now be resolved for the direct usage in Fluid templates. This makes resolving the file references by using additional data processors obsolete.
