Magento 2.1 Forms – Understanding the Form Key

form-keyformsmagento-2.1

if (!$this->_validateFormKey()) {
  // do something
}

Any Magento 1 equivalent in Mangento 2 for _validateFormKey function.

And Can anyone explain how and where Magento checks formkey, when any form is submitted.

Basically I am not able to validate the formkey in controller, My form is submitted even if change the formkey value from inspect element.

Try following way:


protected $formKeyValidator;

public function __construct (
    \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\FormKey\Validator $formKeyValidator
) {
    $this->formKeyValidator = $formKeyValidator;
}

And then


if (!$this->formKeyValidator->validate($this->getRequest())) {
    // invalid request
}

There is one more source for this error: a wrong cookie_domain in the configuration. As you can't login into the admin area, you can check it directly via mysql:

SELECT * FROM core_config_data WHERE path LIKE '%cookie_domain%';

You can change the value in mysql directly as well. Don't forget to clear the cache afterwards.

Admin – How to Show Form Instead of Grid

Yes I have done same functionality in one of my project. hope you have create the basic module with grid.

Changes in Exciting code For Example.

Step 1: Open your Controller app\code\local\[Package Name]\[Module Name]\controllers\Adminhtml\ImportController.php

Step 2: Each Controller has indexAction().

public function indexAction()
{
    $this->_title($this->__('Import'));
    $this->loadLayout();
    $this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('packagename/adminhtml_import_edit'));
    $this->renderLayout();
}

block path as per Magento Standard. For this you can bypass the grid thing.

Step 3: create file app\code\community\[Package Name]\[Module Name]\Block\Adminhtml\import\Edit.php.

Step 4: They layout and template file as per Magento Standards.

<packagename_adminhtml_import>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="packagename/adminhtml_import" name="import" />
    </reference>
</packagename_adminhtml_import>

Hope you can understand What I am trying to say. For Your Knowledge I have follow the structure of System >> My Account page.
