Passing parameters to route

Question

So currently i am passing some params to a form via the route path as so:

my_module.action:
  path: '/status/{action}/{id}'
  defaults:
    _form: '\Drupal\my_module\Form\MyForm'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

And in my form:

public function buildForm(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $action = null, $id = null) {}

And it works as intended, the form receives the two params. But because this way the params are exposed in the url and every user can see them. Is there a way to pass params to the router but not expose them in the url? [passing them in Session is not really best practice, so i'd like to avid it.]

Answer 1

I do not know why you can not use the parameters of the url.

One way to do what you want is:

1) Create a new content type called, for example: "routing settings".

2) create two fields:

• field_id of numerical type.
• field_action of type text.

3) create several nodes with the corresponding actions and id.

4) use the nid of your node as a parameter

file: .routing.yml

my_module.action:
  path: '/status/{node}'
  defaults:
    _form: '\Drupal\my_module\Form\MyForm'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

your file form:

use Drupal\node\NodeInterface;
...

public function buildForm(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state, NodeInterface $node) {

$id= $node->get("field_id")->value;
$action= $node->get("field_action")->value;

//here you put your code

}
