Frontend rendering
==================


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer:

TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Renderer\\FluidFormRenderer
-----------------------------------------------------


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options:

Options
^^^^^^^

The ``FluidFormRenderer`` uses some rendering options which are of particular importance,
as they determine how the form field is resolved to a path in the file system.

All rendering options are retrieved from the ``FormDefinition``, using the ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition::getRenderingOptions()`` method.


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options-templaterootpaths:

templateRootPaths
+++++++++++++++++

Used to define several paths for templates, which will be tried in reversed order (the paths are searched from bottom to top).
The first folder where the desired template is found, is used. If the array keys are numeric, they are first sorted and then tried in reversed order.
Within this paths, fluid will search for a file which is named like the ``<formElementTypeIdentifier>``.

For example:

.. code-block:: none

   templateRootPaths.10 = EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Templates/
   $renderable->getType() == 'Form'
   Expected template file: EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Templates/Form.html

Only the root element (``FormDefinition``) has to be a template file. All child form elements are partials. By default, the root element is called ``Form``.

.. code-block:: yaml

   prototypes:
     standard:
       formElementsDefinition:
         Form:
           renderingOptions:
             templateRootPaths:
               10: 'EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Templates/'


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options-layoutrootpaths:

layoutRootPaths
+++++++++++++++

Used to define several paths for layouts, which will be tried in reversed order (the paths are searched from bottom to top).
The first folder where the desired layout is found, is used. If the array keys are numeric, they are first sorted and then tried in reversed order.

.. code-block:: yaml

   prototypes:
     standard:
       formElementsDefinition:
         Form:
           renderingOptions:
             layoutRootPaths:
               10: 'EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Layouts/'


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options-partialrootpaths:

partialRootPaths
++++++++++++++++

Used to define several paths for partials, which will be tried in reversed order. The first folder where the desired partial is found, is used.
The keys of the array define the order.

Within this paths, fluid will search for a file which is named like the ``<formElementTypeIdentifier>``.

For example:

.. code-block:: none

   templateRootPaths.10 = EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/
   $renderable->getType() == 'Text'
   Expected template file: EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/Text.html

There is a setting available to set a custom partial name. Please read the section :ref:`templateName<apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options-templatename>`.

.. code-block:: yaml

   prototypes:
     standard:
       formElementsDefinition:
         Form:
           renderingOptions:
             partialRootPaths:
               10: 'EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/'


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-fluidformrenderer-options-templatename:

templateName
++++++++++++

By default, the renderable type will be taken as the name for the partial.

For example:

.. code-block:: none

   partialRootPaths.10 = EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/
   $renderable->getType() == 'Text'
   Expected partial file: EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/Text.html

Set ``templateName`` to define a custom name which should be used instead.

For example:

.. code-block:: none

   $renderable->getTemplateName() == 'Text'
   $renderable->getType() = Foo
   Expected partial file: EXT:form/Resources/Private/Frontend/Partials/Text.html

.. code-block:: yaml

   prototypes:
     standard:
       formElementsDefinition:
         Foo:
           renderingOptions:
             templateName: 'Text'


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper:

"render" viewHelper
-------------------

.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper-arguments:

Arguments
^^^^^^^^^

.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper-factoryclass:

factoryClass
++++++++++++

A class name of a ``FormFactory``.
This factory is used to create the ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition`` which is the ``form definition`` Domain Model.
If no ``factoryClass`` argument is passed, the factory supplied by EXT:form ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\ Domain\Factory\ArrayFormFactory`` is used.
Another factory class is required if the form is to be generated programmatically.
To do this you must implement your own ``FormFactory`` in which your own form is generated programmatically and passes this class name to the ViewHelper.
This then renders the form.

.. code-block:: html

   <formvh:render factoryClass="VENDOR\MySitePackage\Domain\Factory\CustomFormFactory" />


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper-persistenceidentifier:

persistenceIdentifier
+++++++++++++++++++++

The ``form definition`` to be found under ``persistenceIdentifier``.
The PersistenceManager now loads the ``form definition`` which is found under ``persistenceIdentifier`` and passes this configuration to the ``factoryClass``.
In this case, the ``factoryClass`` will be given an empty configuration array (if ``overrideConfiguration`` is not specified).

.. code-block:: html

   <formvh:render persistenceIdentifier="EXT:my_site_package/Resources/Private/Forms/SimpleContactForm.yaml" />


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper-overrideconfiguration:

overrideConfiguration
+++++++++++++++++++++

A configuration to be superimposed can be entered here.
If a ``persistenceIdentifier`` is specified, the ``form definition`` which is found under ``persistenceIdentifier`` is loaded.
This configuration is then superimposed with ``overrideConfiguration``. This configuration is then passed to the ``factoryClass``.
If no ``persistenceIdentifier`` is specified, ``overrideConfiguration`` is passed directly to the ``factoryClass``.
This way a configuration can be given to a ``factoryClass`` implementation.


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-renderviewHelper-prototypename:

prototypeName
+++++++++++++

The name of the prototype, on which basis the ``factoryClass`` should create the form.
If nothing is specified, the configuration (``form definition`` or ``overrideConfiguration``) is searched for the prototype's name.
If no specification exists, the standard prototype ``standard`` is used.



.. _apireference-frontendrendering-programmatically:

Build forms programmatically
----------------------------

Implement a ``FormFactory`` and build the form::

   declare(strict_types = 1);
   namespace VENDOR\MySitePackage\Domain\Factory;

   use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility;
   use TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Validation\Validator\NotEmptyValidator;
   use TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Validation\Validator\StringLengthValidator;
   use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Configuration\ConfigurationService;
   use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Factory\AbstractFormFactory;
   use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition;

   class CustomFormFactory extends AbstractFormFactory
   {

       /**
        * Build a FormDefinition.
        * This example build a FormDefinition manually,
        * so $configuration and $prototypeName are unused.
        *
        * @param array $configuration
        * @param string $prototypeName
        * @return FormDefinition
        */
       public function build(array $configuration, string $prototypeName = null): FormDefinition
       {
           $prototypeName = 'standard';
           $configurationService = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ConfigurationService::class);
           $prototypeConfiguration = $configurationService->getPrototypeConfiguration($prototypeName);

           $form = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(FormDefinition::class, 'MyCustomForm', $prototypeConfiguration);
           $form->setRenderingOption('controllerAction', 'index');

           $page1 = $form->createPage('page1');
           $name = $page1->createElement('name', 'Text');
           $name->setLabel('Name');
           $name->addValidator(GeneralUtility::makeInstance(NotEmptyValidator::class));

           $page2 = $form->createPage('page2');
           $message = $page2->createElement('message', 'Textarea');
           $message->setLabel('Message');
           $message->addValidator(GeneralUtility::makeInstance(StringLengthValidator::class, ['minimum' => 5, 'maximum' => 20]));

           // Creating a RadioButton/MultiCheckbox
           $page3 = $form->createPage('page3');
           $radio = $page3->createElement('checkbox', 'RadioButton');
           $radio->setProperty('options', ['value1' => 'Label1', 'value2' => 'Label2']);
           $radio->setLabel('My Radio ...');

           $form->createFinisher('EmailToSender', [
               'subject' => 'Hello',
               'recipients' => [
                   'your.company@example.com' => 'Your Company name'
               ],
               'senderAddress' => 'bar@example.com',
           ]);

           $this->triggerFormBuildingFinished($form);
           return $form;
       }
   }

Use this form within your fluid template.

.. _apireference-frontendrendering-programmatically-commonapimethods-abstractrenderable-createvalidator:

TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\Renderable\\AbstractFormElement::createValidator()
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Create a validator for the element.
Mainly possible for

- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\AdvancedPassword
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\GenericFormElement
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\DatePicker
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\FileUpload

Signature::

   public function createValidator(string $validatorIdentifier, array $options = []);


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-programmatically-commonapimethods-initializeformelement:

initializeFormElement()
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Will be called as soon as the element is added to a form.
Possible for

- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\Section
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\AdvancedPassword
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\GenericFormElement
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\DatePicker
- TYPO3\\CMS\\Form\\Domain\\Model\\FormElements\\FileUpload

Signature::

   public function initializeFormElement();


You can use this method to prefill form element data for example from database tables.
All the classes you can see above extends from the ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElement\AbstractFormElement``.
``AbstractFormElement`` implements this method like this::

   public function initializeFormElement()
   {
       if (
           isset($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement'])
           && is_array($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement'])
       ) {
           foreach ($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement'] as $className) {
               $hookObj = GeneralUtility::makeInstance($className);
               if (method_exists($hookObj, 'initializeFormElement')) {
                   $hookObj->initializeFormElement(
                       $this
                   );
               }
           }
       }
   }

If you extend you custom implementation from ``AbstractFormElement`` (and you should do this),
it enables you to override the 'initializeFormElement' method within your custom implementation class.
If you do not call the parents 'initializeFormElement' then no hook will be thrown.

If your use case for a custom form element implementation means that you only want to initialize you form element
programmatically (e.g to get databasedata) and no other special things are to do, you might prefer the hook.
You only need a class which connects to this hook. Then detect the form element you wish to initialize.

Runtime manipulation
--------------------

.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks:

Hooks
^^^^^


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-initializeformelement:

initializeFormElement
+++++++++++++++++++++

You can connect to this hook and initialize a form element without defining a
custom implementaion to access the element's ``initializeFormElement`` method.
You only need a class which connects to this hook. Then detect the form
element you wish to initialize. For example, you can use this hook to prefill
form element data from database tables. Note that this hook will be called
**after** all properties from the prototype configuration are set in the form
element but **before** the properties from the form definition are set in the
form element. If you want to prefill form element data after the complete
form element is configured you should use the
:ref:`afterBuildingFinished<apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-afterbuildingfinished>` hook.

The initializeFormElement hook is invoked by the methods ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Page::createElement()``
and ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Section::createElement()``.
That means the hook will **not** be triggered for ``Pages``. At this point
you do not have access to submitted form element values.

.. note::

   Wondering what :ref:`useATimestampAsKeyPlease<useATimestampAsKeyPlease>`
   means?


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-initializeformelement-use:

Use the hook
''''''''''''

::

   /**
    * @param \TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\Renderable\RenderableInterface $renderable
    * @return void
    */
   public function initializeFormElement(\TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\Renderable\RenderableInterface $renderable)
   {
       if ($renderable->getUniqueIdentifier() === 'contactForm-text-1') {
           $renderable->setDefaultValue('foo');
       }
   }


.. _useATimestampAsKeyPlease:

What does <useATimestampAsKeyPlease> mean?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Timestamps are recommended for hooks such as those of the form framework, as
seen in the following example::

   $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement'][<useATimestampAsKeyPlease>]
       = \VENDOR\YourNamespace\YourClass::class;


Leaving the section ``<useATimestampAsKeyPlease>`` as is is not recommended.
It does nothing except cause the extension to fail and an error message to be
delivered. Nor should it be replaced with a function like time(), as the key
should be unalterable. Instead, replace this section with the current UNIX
timestamp the moment you are implementing the hook. Check out the following
example::

   $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement'][1507018413]
       = \VENDOR\YourNamespace\YourClass::class;


The purpose of timestamps is to prevent conflicts that arise when two or more
extensions within one TYPO3 installation use identical keys (e.g.
``$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['ext/form']['initializeFormElement']['foo'])``.
When timestamps are used, even a one-second difference in the time different
hooks were connected ensures that one hook does not override the other.


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-beforeremovefromparentrenderable:

beforeRemoveFromParentRenderable
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This hook is invoked by the methods ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition::removePage()``,  ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Page::removeElement()``
and ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormElements\Section::removeElement()``

   {
   }


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-afterbuildingfinished:

afterBuildingFinished
+++++++++++++++++++++

This hook is called for each form element after the class ``TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Factory\ArrayFormFactory``
has built the entire form. This hook is triggered just before the
``FormRuntime`` object is generated. At this point, no run-time information
(e.g. assigned form values) is yet available. It can, for example, be used to
generate new form elements within complex forms. The ``ArrayFormFactory`` is
used by EXT:form via the ``RenderViewHelper`` to render forms using a ``form
definition`` YAML file. Each form factory implementation must deal with the
calling of this hook themselves. EXT:form itself uses this hook to initialize
the property-mapper configuration for ``FileUpload`` elements.

.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-afterinitializecurrentpage:

afterInitializeCurrentPage
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

EXT:form automatically detects the page that should be shown and allow users
only to jump to the directly following (or previous) pages. This hook enables
you to implement a custom behavior, for example pages that are shown only when
other form elements have specific values.

   }


.. _apireference-frontendrendering-runtimemanipulation-hooks-aftersubmit:

afterSubmit
+++++++++++

You can use it for example for dynamic validations which depends on other submitted form element values.
This hook is invoked by the ``FormRuntime`` for each form element **before** values are property mapped, validated and pushed within the FormRuntime's ``FormState``.
If the first page is submitted at the first time you cannot access the form element values from the first page by just calling ``$formRuntime['<someOtherFormElementIdentifier>']`` to access
the submitted form element values from the first page. In this case you can access the submitted raw data through ``$requestArguments``.
EXT:form itself uses this hook to dynamically add validation errors for ``AdvancedPassword`` form elements.
