Write a custom finisher
=======================
To make your finisher configurable by users in the backend form editor, see
:ref:`here <concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-extend-gui>`.
Add a new finisher to the form configuration prototype by defining a
`finishersDefinition`. Set the `implementationClassName` property to your new implementation class.
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_finishersDefinition.yaml
:caption: EXT:my_site_package/Configuration/Form/CustomFormSetup.yaml
`Register <https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-form:concepts-finishers-custom-extend-gui-configuration>`_
your custom form definition.
Add options to your finisher with the `options` property. Options
are default values which can be overridden in the `form definition`.
.. _concepts-finishers-custom-default-value:
Define default values
---------------------
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_CustomFinisher.yaml
:caption: EXT:my_site_package/Configuration/Form/CustomFormSetup.yaml
.. _concepts-finishers-custom-option-override:
Override options using the `form definition`
--------------------------------------------
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_my_form.yaml
:caption: public/fileadmin/forms/my_form.yaml
A finisher must implement :php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\FinisherInterface`
and should extend :php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\AbstractFinisher`.
In doing so, in the logic of the
finisher the method `executeInternal()` will be called first.
.. _concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-accessingoptions:
Accessing finisher options
==========================
If your finisher class extends :php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\AbstractFinisher`,
you can access the option values in the finisher using method `parseOption()`:
.. code-block:: php
$yourCustomOption = $this->parseOption('yourCustomOption');
`parseOption()` looks for 'yourCustomOption' in your
`form definition`.
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_CustomFinisher.yaml
:caption: EXT:my_site_package/Classes/Domain/Finishers/CustomFinisher.yaml
If it can't find it, `parseOption()` checks
1. for a default value in the `prototype` configuration,
2. for `$defaultOptions` inside your finisher class:
If it doesn't find anything, `parseOption()` returns `null`.
If it finds the option, the process checks whether the option value will
access :ref:`FormRuntime values <concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-accessingoptions-formruntimeaccessor>`.
If the `FormRuntime` returns a positive result, it is checked whether the
option value :ref:`can access values of preceding finishers <concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-finishercontext-sharedatabetweenfinishers>`.
At the end, it :ref:`translates the finisher options <concepts-frontendrendering-translation-finishers>`.
.. _concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-accessingoptions-formruntimeaccessor:
Accessing form runtime values
=============================
You can populate finisher options with
submitted form values using the `parseOption()` method.
You can access values of the `FormRuntime` and therefore values in every
form element by encapsulating option values with `{}`. Below, if there is a
form element with the `identifier` 'subject', you can access the value
in the finisher configuration:
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_my_form_extended.yaml
:caption: public/fileadmin/forms/my_form.yaml
.. code-block:: php
// $yourCustomOption contains the value of the form element with the
// identifier 'subject'
$yourCustomOption = $this->parseOption('yourCustomOption');
You can use `{__currentTimestamp}` as an option value to return the
current UNIX timestamp.
.. _concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-finishercontext:
Finisher Context
================
The :php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\FinisherContext` class takes care of
transferring a finisher context to each finisher. If your finisher class extends
:php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\AbstractFinisher` the
finisher context will be available via:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext
The `cancel` method prevents the execution of successive finishers:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->cancel();
The method `getFormValues` returns the submitted form values.
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFormValues();
The method `getFormRuntime` returns the `FormRuntime`:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFormRuntime();
.. _concepts-finishers-customfinisherimplementations-finishercontext-sharedatabetweenfinishers:
Share data between finishers
============================
The method `getFinisherVariableProvider` returns an
object (:php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\FinisherVariableProvider`) which allows you
to store data and transfer it to other finishers. The data
can be easily accessed programmatically or inside your configuration:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider();
The data is stored in :php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\FinisherVariableProvider` and is accessed
by a user-defined 'finisher identifier' and a custom option value path. The
name of the 'finisher identifier' should consist of the name of the finisher
without the 'Finisher' appendix. If your finisher class extends
:php-short:`TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\AbstractFinisher`, the finisher
identifier name is stored in the following variable:
.. code-block:: php
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier
For example, if the name of your finisher class is 'CustomFinisher', this
variable will contain 'Custom'.
There are 4 methods to access and manage data in the `FinisherVariableProvider`:
* Add data:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider()->add(
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier,
'unique.value.identifier',
$value
);
* Get data:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider()->get(
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier,
'unique.value.identifier',
'default value'
);
* Check the existence of data:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider()->exists(
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier,
'unique.value.identifier'
);
* Delete data:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider()->remove(
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier,
'unique.value.identifier'
);
In this way, finishers can access `FinisherVariableProvider` data programmatically.
However, it is also possible to access `FinisherVariableProvider` data using form configuration.
Assuming that a finisher called 'Custom' adds data to a `FinisherVariableProvider`:
.. code-block:: php
$this->finisherContext->getFinisherVariableProvider()->add(
$this->shortFinisherIdentifier,
'unique.value.identifier',
'Wouter'
);
other finishers can access the value 'Wouter' by setting
`{Custom.unique.value.identifier}` in the form definition file.

Add finisher to backend UI
==========================
After registering a new finisher in the yaml form definition file, you can also
add it to the backend form editor for your backend users ( `formEditor:`
section below) to work with in the GUI:
.. literalinclude:: _codesnippets/_backend-ui.yaml
:caption: EXT:my_site_package/Configuration/Form/CustomFormSetup.yaml
:linenos:
.. important::
Make sure to define an `iconIdentifier` in the `finishersDefinition` of your
finisher, otherwise the button to remove the finisher from the
form will not be visible.

Configuration registration
--------------------------
Place your YAML files in a form set directory — no PHP registration needed:
.. code-block:: none
EXT:my_extension/
Configuration/
Form/
MyFinisher/
config.yaml
