I've been building Drupal forms for a number of years so I'm quite familiar with to putting together a Drupal form using the FormBase class and the form API. When I attempted to create a GET form this week I realised that there is actually quite a bit to think about. All forms are build using GET requests, it's the submission that I am specifically talking about. By default, forms in Drupal use POST requests to submit their data, and although it is possible to convert a form to use GET to submit data, it isn't well documented.
There are a couple of GET forms already available in Drupal. If you look at the Views filter form or the Search form they both process submissions through a GET request. These forms tend to use a combination of a form, a hook and a controller to manage their rendering and results. What I wanted was an example of a GET form that was more self contained inside a Drupal form object.
