Detailed Description

Object handling generic submission, CSRF protection, layout and other logic for UI forms in a reusable manner.

In order to generate the form, the HTMLForm object takes an array structure detailing the form fields available. Each element of the array is a basic property-list, including the type of field, the label it is to be given in the form, callbacks for validation and 'filtering', and other pertinent information.

Field types are implemented as subclasses of the generic HTMLFormField object, and typically implement at least getInputHTML, which generates the HTML for the input field to be placed in the table.

You can find extensive documentation on the www.mediawiki.org wiki:

The constructor input is an associative array of $fieldname => $info, where $info is an Associative Array with any of the following:

'class' – the subclass of HTMLFormField that will be used to create the object. NOT the CSS class! 'type' – roughly translates into the <select> type attribute. if 'class' is not specified, this is used as a map through HTMLForm::$typeMappings to get the class name. 'default' – default value when the form is displayed 'nodata' – if set (to any value, which casts to true), the data for this field will not be loaded from the actual request. Instead, always the default data is set as the value of this field. 'id' – HTML id attribute 'cssclass' – CSS class 'csshelpclass' – CSS class used to style help text 'dir' – Direction of the element. 'options' – associative array mapping raw HTML labels to values. Some field types support multi-level arrays. Overwrites 'options-message'. 'options-messages' – associative array mapping message keys to values. Some field types support multi-level arrays. Overwrites 'options' and 'options-message'. 'options-messages-parse' – Flag to parse the messages in 'options-messages'. 'options-message' – message key or object to be parsed to extract the list of options (like 'ipbreason-dropdown'). 'label-message' – message key or object for a message to use as the label. can be an array of msg key and then parameters to the message. 'label' – alternatively, a raw text message. Overridden by label-message 'help-raw' – message text for a message to use as a help text. 'help-message' – message key or object for a message to use as a help text. can be an array of msg key and then parameters to the message. Overwrites 'help-messages' and 'help-raw'. 'help-messages' – array of message keys/objects. As above, each item can be an array of msg key and then parameters. Overwrites 'help-raw'. 'help-inline' – Whether help text (defined using options above) will be shown inline after the input field, rather than in a popup. Defaults to true. Only used by OOUI form fields. 'notices' – Array of plain text notices to display below the input field. Only used by OOUI form fields. 'required' – passed through to the object, indicating that it is a required field. 'size' – the length of text fields 'filter-callback' – a function name to give you the chance to massage the inputted value before it's processed.

See also: HTMLFormField::filter() 'validation-callback' – a function name to give you the chance to impose extra validation on the field input. The signature should be as documented in {; HTMLFormField::$mValidationCallback}.; HTMLFormField::validate() 'name' – By default, the 'name' attribute of the input field is "wp{$fieldname}". If you want a different name (eg one without the "wp" prefix), specify it here and it will be used without modification. 'hide-if' – expression given as an array stating when the field should be hidden. The first array value has to be the expression's logic operator. Supported expressions: 'NOT' [ 'NOT', array $expression ] To hide a field if a given expression is not true. '===' [ '===', string $fieldName, string $value ] To hide a field if another field identified by $field has the value $value. '!==' [ '!==', string $fieldName, string $value ] Same as [ 'NOT', [ '===', $fieldName, $value ] 'OR', 'AND', 'NOR', 'NAND' [ 'XXX', array $expression1, ..., array $expressionN ] To hide a field if one or more (OR), all (AND), neither (NOR) or not all (NAND) given expressions are evaluated as true. The expressions will be given to a JavaScript frontend module which will continually update the field's visibility. 'disable-if' – expression given as an array stating when the field should be disabled. See 'hide-if' for supported expressions. The 'hide-if' logic would also disable fields, you don't need to set this attribute with the same condition manually. You can pass both 'disabled' and this attribute to omit extra check, but this would function only for not 'disabled' fields. 'section' – A string name for the section of the form to which the field belongs. Subsections may be added using the separator '/', e.g.: 'section' => 'section1/subsection1' More levels may be added, e.g.: 'section' => 'section1/subsection2/subsubsection1' The message key for a section or subsection header is built from its name and the form's message prefix (if present).

Since 1.20, you can chain mutators to ease the form generation:

Example:: $form = new HTMLForm( $someFields, $this->getContext() );

$form->setMethod( 'get' )

->setWrapperLegendMsg( 'message-key' )

->prepareForm()

->displayForm( '' );

If you use two or more forms on one page with the same submit target, it allows HTMLForm to identify which of the forms was submitted, and not attempt to validate the other ones.
If you use checkbox or multiselect fields inside a form using the GET method, it allows HTMLForm to distinguish between the initial page view and a form submission with all checkboxes or select options unchecked. Set the second parameter to true if you are sure this is the only form on the page, which allows form fields to be prefilled with query params.
