Persistent form abstract class.
This provides some shortcuts to validate objects based on the persistent model.
Note that all mandatory fields (non-optional) of your model should be included in the form definition. Mandatory fields which are not editable by the user should be as hidden and constant.
$mform->addElement('hidden', 'userid'); $mform->setType('userid', PARAM_INT); $mform->setConstant('userid', $this->_customdata['userid']);
You may exclude some fields from the validation should your form include other properties such as files. To do so use the $foreignfields property.

Note that in order for your persistent to be reloaded after form submission you should either override the URL to include the ID to your resource, or add the ID to the form fields.

The data here:
You can modify the $errors parameter in order to remove some validation errors should you need to. However, the best practice is to return new or overriden errors. Only modify the errors passed by reference when you have no other option.
Do not add any logic here, it is only intended to be used by child classes.

Validate the form.
You almost always want to call is_validated instead of this because it calls definition_after_data first, before validating the form, which is what you want in 99% of cases.
This is provided as a separate function for those special cases where you want the form validated before definition_after_data is called for example, to selectively add new elements depending on a no_submit_button press, but only when the form is valid when the no_submit_button is pressed,
bool | $validateonnosubmit | optional, defaults to false. The default behaviour is NOT to validate the form when a no submit button has been pressed. pass true here to override this behaviour |
bool | true if form data valid |
