Re: cakePHP 3.0-RC1, turning off HTML5 browser validation globally on user side ???

Hi Mark !

OK, I have burned up enough time up on this.   It is not clear to me whether I am dealing with a plugin or a helper.  I did read up on Configure:: though, and that knowledge will be useful.  I got as far as tracing entry to your FormHelper, followed by entry to the cakePHP FormHelper, but the functions within your FormHelper never get called.  Examination of your code suggests that the cakePHP helper should be calling functions within your helper ???  The FormConfig.novalidate value is visible globally though.  I have been unsuccessful in finding examples of similar installations and I have not seen any examples that extend native cakePHP code as yours seems to do in the documentation.

But the learning experience has been useful.

OK, I see this in your FormHelper.php version #L44

use Cake\View\Helper\FormHelper as CakeFormHelper;
class FormHelper extends CakeFormHelper

So to answer my last question, it would appear that your FormHelper adds the ability to inspect
the "novalidate" option.

Now I have to determine how to invoke your FormHelper.

OK Mark !

I am into the Configuration documentation and looking at bootstrap.php now.  I will attempt to get this loaded by myself.

Can you answer two questions though ?  ( guess that is really three :-)  )

Should I focus on your #L44 version ?

If I get this working, does your FormHelper.php completely replace the function in /vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/View/Helper/FormHelper.php ?

you can actually set a config on the user side when using sth similar I did in my plugin (since 2.x).

You can either use my Tools plugin directly, or copy and paste the relevant part:

https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/cake3/src/View/Helper/FormHelper.php#L16

https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/cake3/src/View/Helper/FormHelper.php#L44

You can disable it globally or locally via

Configure::write('FormConfig.novalidate', 'true');

then :)

No need to mess with any templates in this case.

Hello José

Thanks for the reference.  If I interpret the manual properly, I think it wants me to store the custom widget under the /vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/View/Widget/ directory structure  ? 

If this is correct then would the custom widget be wiped out every time I did a "composer update" ?

 I found this to be the case when I had managed to default the form submission to "formnovalidate " using a different technique under the /vendor structure.

 In the FormHelper.php function widget() I added the line
unset($data['required']); // turn off HTML5 browser validation
after the line
unset($data['secure']);

This was replace to the original (or updated) version when I did the "composer update".

What I was really hoping for was perhaps a method of setting a /config option on the user side.

I have finally found the method to turn off browser validation so that cakePHP can take control of the validation instead. 
 
This works for me. 
 
    <?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit'), array('formnovalidate' => true)) ?> 
 
Rather than do this for every Form, is there any way to set this option for Forms globally on the user side ?
