How to create or manage configuration form in Drupal 8
Create configuration form
create path in routing.yml, here my module name is "mymodule" so I am using it, you can use your module name.
mymodule.Myfiguration:
path: 'myconf'
defaults:
_form: '\Drupal\mymodule\Form\MyConfigurationForm' // I have created form "MyConfigurationForm.php"
_title: 'My API Configuration'
requirements:
_permission: 'mymodule dashboard_admin' // this is permission setting which is setting in mymodule.permissions.yml
I have added this code in MyConfigurationForm.php to save data, other code will same which use to form like header file class etc.
class MyConfigurationForm extends ConfigFormBase {
/**
* Config settings.
*
* @var string
*/
const SETTINGS = 'Mytest.settings';
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getFormId() {
return 'Mytest_settings';
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getEditableConfigNames() {
return [
static::SETTINGS,
];
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function buildForm(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$config = $this->config(static::SETTINGS);
$form['my_token'] = [
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => $this->t('My Token'),
'#default_value' => $config->get('my_token'),
];
$form['my_key'] = [
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => $this->t('My Accress Key'),
'#default_value' => $config->get('my_key'),
];
return parent::buildForm($form, $form_state);
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function submitForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
// Retrieve the configuration.
// Set the submitted configuration setting.
$this->configFactory->getEditable(static::SETTINGS)
->set('my_key', $form_state->getValue('my_key'))
->set('my_token', $form_state->getValue('my_token'))
->save();
parent::submitForm($form, $form_state);
}
}
When you want to use this variable in other you can use this code
$config = \Drupal::config('Mytest.settings'); // "Mytest.settings" is contant which has been set in top in the form
To get variable, it will return value which is stored in "my_token"
$my_token = $config->get('my_token');
