Automatically fill value of one field with a copy of what was just entered in another Drupal 9

https://www.drupal.org/project/safeword

There’s several patches to do this, with various approaches (weight, specifying before / after) that nod_ in particular has put a lot of work into but none are in Drupal core yet.

So yeah we’ll just do everything we need to do in one module.

To add your variable to drupalSettings it’s simply (in our case for the form where we are attaching our JavaScript file to, it’s the second line that passes in a variable):

use Drupal\Component\Utility\Html;

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function titlecasesuggestions_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['#attached']['library'][] = 'titlecasesuggestions/titlecasesuggestions';
  $form['#attached']['drupalSettings']['titlecasesuggestions']['formId'] = Html::cleanCssIdentifier($form_id);
}
