  2. 9 core/includes/form.inc \template_preprocess_form_element_label()
  3. 8.9.x core/includes/form.inc \template_preprocess_form_element_label()

Prepares variables for form label templates.

Form element labels include the #title and a #required marker. The label is associated with the element itself by the element #id. Labels may appear before or after elements, depending on form-element.html.twig and #title_display.

This function will not be called for elements with no labels, depending on #title_display. For elements that have an empty #title and are not required, this function will output no label (''). For required elements that have an empty #title, this will output the required marker alone within the label. The label will use the #id to associate the marker with the field that is required. That is especially important for screen reader users to know which field is required.

To associate the label with a different field, set the #for property to the ID of the desired field.

Parameters

array $variables: An associative array containing:

  • element: An associative array containing the properties of the element. Properties used: #required, #title, #id, #value, #description, #for.
