How to get field type from $form_state?

Question

How do i get field type (e.g textfield, option, etc.) from $form_state in below method.

public function validateForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state)

Answer 1

As said before, it is in

$form['fieldname']['#type']

You don't need the state for this because it is not a state, it's static.

Answer 2

no filed type in $form_state

you can use $form instead

Answer 3

The render element types are defined using the #type property in the render array.

The only render element that the form state object (might [1]) reference directly is the main form element, via the getCompleteForm method.

[1] the form builder object sets the complete form parameter on the form state while building the form, so I'm the early stages it might not yet be set.

P.S.

The form state object does hold a reference the form object. Which means that in entity forms, you can get the entity and it's fields from the form state object.
