Refactor Drupal\system\Plugin\views\field\BulkForm to support a select form as well

Created on 12 December 2016, almost 8 years ago
Updated 30 January 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

The media library needs a field handler to select one or more items from a view. That is to be introduced in #2834729: [META] Roadmap to stabilize Media Library . Since a selection component is similar to a bulk form, but not exactly the same, it makes sense to refactor bulk forms to share their common implementation with select forms.

Proposed resolution

1. Extract some methods from the BulkForm to a base class and use it in BulkForm.
2. Change id generation in bulk forms so Ajax operations are also supported.

Remaining tasks

TBD

User interface changes

None.

API changes

The bulk form element IDs are changed because they are not unique if there is an Ajax action on the form. The current bulk form identifiers are increasing numeric items, which when an Ajax reload happens would not necessarily be the same anymore. $bulk_form_key becomes a unique identifier based on entity type, entity id, entity revision and language. This is important also if you want to reference a specific revision and/or language of an entity.

Data model changes

None.
