Content Type Custom Submit Handler

Question

I am very new to Drupal and is still learning. Please excuse if I have done my coding wrong.

Problem: I wanted to add two buttons to my Content type.

• 1st button for Save Form - save the form and not publish it.
• 2nd button to Submit Form - save the form and submit it.

My Save Form button works right and it uses the default submit handler.

My Submit Form button is calling a custom submit handler and here is the code:

  function submit_Form(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
  $values = $form_state->getValues();
  $node = entity_create('node',$values);
  $node->save();

  drupal_set_message('Your form has been submitted. It will be reviewed by the team.');
  $redirect_path = "/user";
  $url = url::fromUserInput($redirect_path);
  $form_state->setRedirectUrl($url);

}

I am getting this error:

Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityStorageException: Missing bundle for entity type node in Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityStorageBase->doCreate() (line 83 of /var/www/clients/client1/web2/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/ContentEntityStorageBase.php).

Thank you for looking at this.

Answer 1

When you create an entity node a value type for the content type is required. If your form doesn't provide one, you can add it to the values before creating the node:

  $values = $form_state->getValues();
  $values[] = ['type' => 'article'];
  $node = \Drupal\node\Entity\Node::create($values);
