In Drupal 8. I noticed that i can create a new node or edit a current node and delete the "Authored By" name, its blank and when I hit save the node is authored by Anonymous. How can I make this Author field required to be a current user in the system. And the page will show a message and will not save until a name is entered. I tried this but it does not work

use Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface;

function demo4_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
$form['author']['name']['#required'] = TRUE;
}

I also tried

function demo4_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if ( $form_id == 'page_node_form'){
$form['author']['name']['#required'] = TRUE;
}
 return $form;
}

The question is better served in the 'module development and code questions' forum. Please edit the post and move it. Thank you.

This works only in drupal 7 not in drupal 8

function demo4_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'page_node_form') {

$form['author']['name']['#required'] = TRUE;
 }
   return $form;
}

I found it this works in drupal 8

<?php

use Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface;

function demo4_form_alter(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, 

$form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'node_page_form') {

$form['uid']['widget'][0]['target_id']['#required'] = TRUE;
 }
   return $form;
}
