TYPO3 Core

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
