string

addErrorFlashMessage()

If an error occurred during this request, this adds a flash message describing the error to the flash message container.

protected addErrorFlashMessage() : mixed
Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

callActionMethod()

Calls the specified action method and passes the arguments.

protected callActionMethod(RequestInterface $request) : ResponseInterface

Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

Return values
ResponseInterface

errorAction()

A special action which is called if the originally intended action could not be called, for example if the arguments were not valid.

protected errorAction() : ResponseInterface

The default implementation sets a flash message, request errors and forwards back to the originating action. This is suitable for most actions dealing with form input.

We clear the page cache by default on an error as well, as we need to make sure the data is re-evaluated when the user changes something.

Return values
ResponseInterface

forwardToReferringRequest()

If information on the request before the current request was sent, this method forwards back to the originating request. This effectively ends processing of the current request, so do not call this method before you have finished the necessary business logic!

protected forwardToReferringRequest() : ResponseInterface|null
Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

Return values
ResponseInterface|null

getErrorFlashMessage()

A template method for displaying custom error flash messages, or to display no flash message at all on errors. Override this to customize the flash message in your action controller.

Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

Return values
string|bool —

The flash message or FALSE if no flash message should be set

getFlashMessageQueue()

todo: As soon as the incoming request contains the compiled plugin namespace, extbase will offer a trait to create a flash message identifier from the current request. Users then should inject the flash message service themselves if needed.

protected getFlashMessageQueue([string|null $identifier = null ]) : FlashMessageQueue
Parameters
$identifier : string|null = null
Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

Return values
FlashMessageQueue

getFlattenedValidationErrorMessage()

Returns a string with a basic error message about validation failure.

protected getFlattenedValidationErrorMessage() : string

We may add all validation error messages to a log file in the future, but for security reasons (@see #54074) we do not return these here.

Internal

only to be used within Extbase, not part of TYPO3 Core API.

Return values
string

Name of the action to forward to

$controllerName : string|null = null

Unqualified object name of the controller to forward to. If not specified, the current controller is used.

$extensionName : string|null = null

$arguments : array<string|int, mixed>|null = null

Arguments to pass to the target action

$pageUid : int|null = null

$_ : null = null

(optional) Unused

protected renderAssetsForRequest(RequestInterface $request) : void

This default implementation will attempt to render the sections "HeaderAssets" and "FooterAssets" from the template that is being rendered, inserting the rendered content into either page header or footer, as appropriate. Both sections are optional and can be used one or both in combination.

You can add assets with this method without worrying about duplicates, if for example you do this in a plugin that gets used multiple time on a page.
