in this article, I'll show you how to use ConfirmFormBase to confirm the action of delete nodes in drupal 8.
Confirmation forms are simple to build and are the recommended way to prompt a user for confirmation of an action. As with many forms, it all begins with a route.
codimth_form_api.routing.yml
codimth.confirm_delete_form_api:
path: '/codimth/confirm_delete'
defaults:
_form: '\Drupal\codimth_form_api\Form\CodimthConfirmDeleteForm'
_title: 'Codimth Confirm Deletion'
requirements:
_permission: 'administer site configuration'
src/Form/CodimthConfirmDeleteForm.php
this class contains :
getFormId(): This needs to return a string that is the unique ID of your form. Namespace the form ID based on your module's name.
buildForm(): This returns a Form API array that defines each of the elements of your form.
submitForm(): collect data and do things, like save the data to the database, send an email, or any number of other operations.
getCancelUrl(): Returns the route to go to if the user cancels the action..
getQuestion(): Returns the question to ask the user.
