Description

Improving the TCA configuration with utility functions and constants would be really nice.

Possible functions:
  • getRichtextEditorTCAConfig(...)
  • getLinkWizardTCAConfig(...)

So actually something like ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig for wizards, richtext fields, select fields, etc.

Possible constants:
  • TYPE_SELECT = 'select', TYPE_INPUT = 'input', ...
  • RENDER_TYPE_SELECT_MULTIPLE_SIDE_BY_SIDE = 'selectMultipleSideBySide', RENDER_TYPE_SELECT_SINGLE='selectSingle'
  • EVAL_TRIM = 'trim', EVAL_NOSPACE = 'nospace'
Advantages:
  • IDE code completion
  • IDE could inform about deprecated constants/functions
  • Avoids typos
  • Avoids duplicate code
  • Easier refactoring

Thanks for creating this issue. It is absolutly true that creating TCA from scratch is too hard and will lead to many mistakes.

However I am closing this issue because this needs thoughts on so many more areas and something like mask or dce and not just some utility classes as shorthand for complicated tca structures.
