function entity_get_form_display

Returns the entity form display associated with a bundle and form mode.

The function reads the entity form display object from the current configuration, or returns a ready-to-use empty one if no configuration entry exists yet for this bundle and form mode. This streamlines manipulation of entity form displays by always returning a consistent object that reflects the current state of the configuration.

Example usage:

  • Set the 'body' field to be displayed with the 'text_textarea_with_summary' widget and the 'field_image' field to be hidden on article nodes in the 'default' form mode.
entity_get_form_display('node', 'article', 'default')->setComponent('body', array(
    'type' => 'text_textarea_with_summary',
    'weight' => 1,
))
    ->setComponent('field_image', array(
    'region' => 'hidden',
))
    ->save();

Parameters

string $entity_type: The entity type.

string $bundle: The bundle.

string $form_mode: The form mode.

Return value

\Drupal\Core\Entity\Display\EntityFormDisplayInterface The entity form display associated with the given form mode.
