Pull reusable routines out of configuration import/export form builders

Created on 7 December 2014, almost 10 years ago
Updated 30 January 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Generally useful code for listing configuration types and for listing configuration entities of a given type are embedded in form generation code in ConfigSingleExportForm::buildForm and ConfigSingleImportForm::buildForm.

Signs that this code should be pulled into helper methods:

Proposed resolution

  • Add two new public methods to ConfigManagerInterface: listConfigTypes and listConfigByType.
  • Implement these two methods in ConfigManager.
  • Convert relevant code in ConfigSingleExportForm::buildForm and ConfigSingleImportForm::buildForm to use these methods.
  • Pull the string used to designate simple system configuration into a constant defined in ConfigManagerInterface. In doing so, change the string from 'system.simple' to 'system_simple' so that it is usable as a configuration key. This way, for example, the key can be used in a settings form for saving a given configuration type. Change all string references from 'system.simple' to ConfigManagerInterface::SYSTEM_SIMPLE_CONFIG.
