Form Builder

Form-Builder provides a flexible form interface allowing editing a variety of CiviCRM entities as well as a developer interface.

The GUI can be extended via the civi.afform_admin.metadata event.

This event is used for adding entities, elements, input types, etc.

It is also possible to expose entities by adding a declaration. To do this:

  1. Add the mixin <mixin>afform-entity-php@1.0.0</mixin> to your extension's info.xml file (note: for backward compatability with versions < 5.50 you must add a shim.
  2. Ensure the entity in question has apiv4 crud entities
  3. Create a php file in the following location - afformEntities/EntityName.php as you can see here in the deduper extension
  4. Add the following detail - where url-autofill is the default value for autofill when adding this entity to a form.
<?php
return [
  'entity' => 'ContactNamePair',
  'label' => 'Equivalent name pair',
  'defaults' => "{'url-autofill': '1'}",
];
