Form Configuration

TYPO3

Description

Form configuration covers the general behaviour of the EXT:form extension - which form elements, validators, and finishers are available, how they are pre-configured, and how they appear in the frontend/backend. Form configuration is defined in YAML and organised in form sets. Configuration is defined separately from specific form definitions.

Goals

• I know that form configuration defines form elements, validators, and finishers available to the system - as opposed to form definitions, which define specific forms.
• I know that form configuration is organised into prototypes, and that “standard" is the default prototype in most form definitions.
• I know that form configuration is distributed across form sets and that they are defined in config.yaml files in EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Form/<SetName>/.
• I know that form sets are merged in order of ascending priority, and that sets with a higher priority are loaded later and override earlier sets.
• I know that form configuration registers email rendering and customized Fluid template paths for the frontend.
• I know how to register custom XLIFF translation files for form element labels and properties.
