This extension allow to easily create domain models from form data.

basic usage

  • install using composer require hn/formsave
  • create a form and add the Formsave finisher, select Generic as intent
  • optionally add identifier to each field

advanced usage

You can add own intents which also creates own domain objects. Lets go with an exampe of an "Application".

Create a domain model class Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application

<?php

namespace Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model;

use Hn\Formsave\Domain\Model\Document;

class Application extends Document
{

}

Implement extbase inheritence

Use the ext_typoscript_setup.txt for that.

config.tx_extbase.persistence.classes {
    Hn\Formsave\Domain\Model\Document {
        subclasses {
            Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application = Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application
        }
    }

    Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application {
        mapping {
            recordType = Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application
            tableName = tx_formsave_domain_model_document
        }
    }
}

Extend the select fields in the form editor and in TCA

// Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tx_formsave_domain_model_document.php

\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addTcaSelectItem('tx_formsave_domain_model_document', 'type', [
    'Application',
    \Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\Application::class,
]);

                              label: 'Application'

Add Behavior to your formdata

Look into Hn\Formsave\Domain\Finisher\FormsaveFinisher. There are a few signals in which you can change the behavior. One example would be to send an email when a user applies.
