Usage

You can add the DatabaseStorage Finisher in the following ways:

Add DatabaseStorage using YAML definitions

Add the DatabaseStorage a finisher in your form definition/yaml file:

type: 'Neos.Form:Form'
identifier: 'some-identifier'
label: 'My form'
renderables:
  # Your renderables / form fields go here

finishers:
  -
    identifier: 'Wegmeister.DatabaseStorage:DatabaseStorageFinisher'
    options:
      # The identifier is used to group your data in the database.
      # You should avoid using the same identifier twice or your data could become a little messed up.
      identifier: 'my-form-data'

Add DatabaseStorage using the Neos Form Builder

You can also use the DatabaseStorage with the Neos.Form.Builder. You should be able to simply add DatabaseStorage as a finisher to your form.

Don't forget to set a (unique) identifier!

Add DatabaseStorage using a Fusion Form

You can also use the DatabaseStorage Neos.Fusion.Form action.

Add the following configuration to your form action definition:

databaseStorage {
    type = '\\Wegmeister\\DatabaseStorage\\FusionForm\\Runtime\\Action\\DatabaseStorageAction'
    options {
        identifier = 'identifier-in-backend'
        formValues = ${data}
    }
}
