generateForm

The method $this->generateForm($routename) generates a form from the form-definitions in the plugin yaml configuration.

• @param: (string) $routename. The name of the route.
• @return: (string|false) Returns the generated form if successful, otherwise returns false.

Example Usage

<?php

namespace Plugins\Myplugin;

use \Typemill\Plugin;

class Myplugin extends Plugin
{
    ...

    public function myFunction()
    {
        # Data will be send as post-request to the route with the name 'contact.send'
        $form = $this->generateForm('contact.send');
    }
}

A public form definition in the plugin yaml file might look like this:

public:
  fields:

    name:
      type: text
      label: name_label
      required: true

    email:
      type: email
      label: email_label
      required: true

    subject:
      type: text
      label: subject_label
      required: true

    message:
      type: textarea
      label: message_label
      required: true
