FormValidator::doValidateForm

protected FormValidator::doValidateForm(&$elements, FormStateInterface &$form_state, $form_id = NULL)

Performs validation on form elements.

First ensures required fields are completed, #maxlength is not exceeded, and selected options were in the list of options given to the user. Then calls user-defined validators.

Parameters

$elements: An associative array containing the structure of the form.

\Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state: The current state of the form. The current user-submitted data is stored in $form_state->getValues(), though form validation functions are passed an explicit copy of the values for the sake of simplicity. Validation handlers can also $form_state to pass information on to submit handlers. For example: $form_state->set('data_for_submission', $data); This technique is useful when validation requires file parsing, web service requests, or other expensive requests that should not be repeated in the submission step.

$form_id: A unique string identifying the form for validation, submission, theming, and hook_form_alter functions.
