FormRuntime implements RootRenderableInterface, ArrayAccess

This class implements the *runtime logic* of a form, i.e. deciding which page is shown currently, what the current values of the form are, trigger validation and property mapping.

You generally receive an instance of this class by calling .

Rendering a Form

That's easy, just call render() on the FormRuntime:

/---code php $form = $formDefinition->bind($request); $renderedForm = $form->render(); ---

Accessing Form Values

In order to get the values the user has entered into the form, you can access this object like an array: If a form field with the identifier firstName exists, you can do $form['firstName'] to retrieve its current value.

You can also set values in the same way.

Rendering Internals

The FormRuntime asks the FormDefinition about the configured Renderer which should be used (), and then trigger render() on this Renderer.

This makes it possible to declaratively define how a form should be rendered.

Scope: frontend This class is NOT meant to be sub classed by developers.

Internal

High cohesion to FormDefinition, may change any time

Constants

HONEYPOT_NAME_SESSION_IDENTIFIER

public mixed HONEYPOT_NAME_SESSION_IDENTIFIER = 'tx_form_honeypot_name_'

Properties

$container read-only

protected ContainerInterface $container

$currentPage

The current page is the page which will be displayed to the user during rendering.

protected Page|null $currentPage

If $currentPage is NULL, the last page has been submitted and finishing actions need to take place. You should use $this->isAfterLastPage() instead of explicitly checking for NULL.

$currentSiteLanguage

The current site language configuration.

protected SiteLanguage $currentSiteLanguage

$formSession

Individual unique random form session identifier valid for current user session. This value is not persisted server-side.

protected FormSession|null $formSession

$lastDisplayedPage

Reference to the page which has been shown on the last request (i.e.

protected Page $lastDisplayedPage

we have to handle the submitted data from lastDisplayedPage)

$response

protected ResponseInterface $response

Methods

canProcessFormSubmission()

Only process values if there is a post request and if the surrounding content object is uncached.

public canProcessFormSubmission() : bool

Is this not the case, all possible submitted values will be discarded and the first form step will be shown with an empty form state.
