OOP Forms

This module is for developers only. It does not provide any features for normal users.

OOP Forms module provides set of wrappers for building Drupal forms in a object oriented way.

It takes the burden of writing FAPI arrays manually off the developers and let them build those ugly arrays with set of method calls.

The old way:

$form['text_field'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield',
  '#title' => t('Old text field'),
  '#default_value' => 'This is exhausting',
  '#description' => t('Manually created text field using FAPI array.'),
);

The new OOP way:

// Get OOP Forms service for easier use
/** @var \Drupal\oop_forms\Form\Builder $builder */
$builder = \Drupal::service('oop_forms.builder');

$form['text_field'] = $builder
  ->createTextField()
  ->setTitle(t('OOP text field'))
  ->setDefaultValue('This is fun!')
  ->setDescription(t('Text field generated with OOP forms service'))
  ->build();

To add support for more FAPI elements, look for missing elements in Drupal\Core\Render\Element namespace
(its files are located at core/lib/Drupal/Core/Render/Element).
