How can an array be passed using typo3 flexform xml and itemsProcConfig?

edit

To pass an array using TYPO3 Flexform XML and itemsProcConfig, first, define the form field for the array in the Flexform XML file. For example, to define a dropdown list field for an array of colors, use the following code:

<settings.colors>
    <TCEforms>
        <label>Colors:</label>
        <config>
            <type>select</type>
            <itemsProcConfig>
                <userFunc>Vendor\Extension\Hooks\FlexFormHooks->processColorList</userFunc>
            </itemsProcConfig>
        </config>
    </TCEforms>
</settings.colors>

Then, create a PHP class and method to handle the processing of the array items. This class and method should convert the array into a format that can be used in the dropdown list. Here is an example:

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Hooks;

class FlexFormHooks
{
    public function processColorList(&$config)
    {
        $colorArray = [
            'red' => 'Red',
            'blue' => 'Blue',
            'green' => 'Green'
        ];

        foreach ($colorArray as $value => $label) {
            $config[] = [$label, $value];
        }
    }
}

This method takes the form field configuration and sets it to the array items by looping through the array and adding the values and labels to the $config array.

Finally, in the TYPO3 extension, register the FlexForm Hooks class and method:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['formEngine']['formDataGroup']['tcaDatabaseRecord'][\Vendor\Extension\Domain\Model\MyModel::class]['before'][\Vendor\Extension\Hooks\FlexFormHooks::class] = [
    'processFlexFormData',
];

With this, the FlexForm will be able to pass an array using itemsProcConfig.
