#pre_render callback to transform children of an element of #type 'table'.

This function converts sub-elements of an element of #type 'table' to be suitable for table.html.twig:

  • The first level of sub-elements are table rows. Only the #attributes property is taken into account.
  • The second level of sub-elements is converted into columns for the corresponding first-level table row.

Simple example usage:


$form['table'] = [
  '#type' => 'table',
  '#header' => [$this->t('Title'), ['data' => $this->t('Operations'), 'colspan' => '1']],
  // Optionally, to add tableDrag support:
  '#tabledrag' => [
    [
      'action' => 'order',
      'relationship' => 'sibling',
      'group' => 'thing-weight',
    ],
  ],
];
foreach ($things as $row => $thing) {
  $form['table'][$row]['#weight'] = $thing['weight'];

  $form['table'][$row]['title'] = [
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#default_value' => $thing['title'],
  ];

  // Optionally, to add tableDrag support:
  $form['table'][$row]['#attributes']['class'][] = 'draggable';
  $form['table'][$row]['weight'] = [
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => $this->t('Weight for @title', ['@title' => $thing['title']]),
    '#title_display' => 'invisible',
    '#size' => 4,
    '#default_value' => $thing['weight'],
    '#attributes' => ['class' => ['thing-weight']],
  );

  // The amount of link columns should be identical to the 'colspan'
  // attribute in #header above.
  $form['table'][$row]['edit'] = [
    '#type' => 'link',
    '#title' => $this->t('Edit'),
    '#url' => Url::fromRoute('entity.test_entity.edit_form', ['test_entity' => $row]),
  ];
}

Parameters

  • #tabledrag: The value is a list of $options arrays that are passed to drupal_attach_tabledrag(). The HTML ID of the table is added to each $options array.
