in a reusable manner.
In order to generate the form, the HTMLForm object takes an array structure detailing the form fields available. Each element of the array is a basic property-list, including the type of field, the label it is to be given in the form, callbacks for validation and 'filtering', and other pertinent information.
Field types are implemented as subclasses of the generic HTMLFormField object, and typically implement at least getInputHTML, which generates the HTML for the input field to be placed in the table.
You can find extensive documentation on the www.mediawiki.org wiki:
The constructor input is an associative array of $fieldname => $info, where $info is an Associative Array with any of the following:
'class' -- the subclass of HTMLFormField that will be used to create the object. *NOT* the CSS class! 'type' -- roughly translates into the <select> type attribute. if 'class' is not specified, this is used as a map through HTMLForm::$typeMappings to get the class name. 'default' -- default value when the form is displayed 'id' -- HTML id attribute 'cssclass' -- CSS class 'options' -- varies according to the specific object. 'label-message' -- message key for a message to use as the label. can be an array of msg key and then parameters to the message. 'label' -- alternatively, a raw text message. Overridden by label-message 'help' -- message text for a message to use as a help text. 'help-message' -- message key for a message to use as a help text. can be an array of msg key and then parameters to the message. Overwrites 'help-messages' and 'help'. 'help-messages' -- array of message key. As above, each item can be an array of msg key and then parameters. Overwrites 'help'. 'required' -- passed through to the object, indicating that it is a required field. 'size' -- the length of text fields 'filter-callback -- a function name to give you the chance to massage the inputted value before it's processed.
Since 1.20, you can chain mutators to ease the form generation:
