You probably created a form with the intent of collecting user input and then doing something with that input. Using the submitForm() method of our form class we can access the validated, and sanitized, user input data and make use of it for our own needs. We might do things like save the collected data as configuration, update an entity, or use it as part of a search query.
In this tutorial we'll:
- Demonstrate how to add a
submitForm()method to a form controller class - Access the value(s) of form input elements via the
$form_stateobject - Set a redirect after performing processing in a form submission handler
- Look at alternative ways to affect the submission handling of a form like
#submitcallbacks
By the end of this tutorial you should know how to access the values of a submitted form, and how to write custom processing code that gets invoked when the form passes validation.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
