public function FormBuilder::processForm

public FormBuilder::processForm($form_id, &$form, FormStateInterface &$form_state)

Processes a form submission.

This function is the heart of form API. The form gets built, validated and in appropriate cases, submitted and rebuilt.

Parameters

string $form_id: The unique string identifying the current form.

array $form: An associative array containing the structure of the form.

\Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state: The current state of the form. This includes the current persistent storage data for the form, and any data passed along by earlier steps when displaying a multi-step form. Additional information, like the sanitized \Drupal::request()->request data, is also accumulated here.

Return value

\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse|null

    // the changes made to $form_state during this request. Normally, a submit
    // handler sets $form_state->isRebuilding() if a fully executed form
    // requires another step. However, for forms that have not been fully
    // executed (e.g., Ajax submissions triggered by non-buttons), there is no
    // submit handler to set $form_state->isRebuilding(). It would not make
    // sense to redisplay the identical form without an error for the user to
    // correct, so we also rebuild error-free non-executed forms, regardless
    // of $form_state->isRebuilding().
    // @todo Simplify this logic; considering Ajax and non-HTML front-ends,
    //   along with element-level #submit properties, it makes no sense to
    //   have divergent form execution based on whether the triggering element
    //   has #executes_submit_callback set to TRUE.

  // After processing the form, the form builder or a #process callback may
  // have called $form_state->setCached() to indicate that the form and form
  // state shall be cached. But the form may only be cached if
  // $form_state->disableCache() is not called. Only cache $form as it was
  // prior to self::doBuildForm(), because self::doBuildForm() must run for
  // each request to accommodate new user input. Rebuilt forms are not cached
  // here, because self::rebuildForm() already takes care of that.
