1. 10 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Render/Element/FormElementBase.php \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\FormElementBase::processAutocomplete()

Adds autocomplete functionality to elements.

This sets up autocomplete functionality for elements with an #autocomplete_route_name property, using the #autocomplete_route_parameters and #autocomplete_query_parameters properties if present.

For example, suppose your autocomplete route name is 'my_module.autocomplete' and its path is '/my_module/autocomplete/{a}/{b}'. In a form array, you would create a text field with properties:

'#autocomplete_route_name' => 'my_module.autocomplete',
'#autocomplete_route_parameters' => ['a' => $some_key, 'b' => $some_id],

If the user types "keywords" in that field, the full path called would be: 'my_module_autocomplete/$some_key/$some_id?q=keywords'

Parameters

array $element: The form element to process. Properties used:

• #autocomplete_route_name: A route to be used as callback URL by the autocomplete JavaScript library.
• #autocomplete_route_parameters: The parameters to be used in conjunction with the route name.
• #autocomplete_query_parameters: The parameters to be used in query string

\Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state: The current state of the form.

array $complete_form: The complete form structure.

Return value

array The form element.
