Add Entity Reference to Drupal 8 Form Field?

Question

How can users add products to a simple plugin config using an autocomplete field?

I tried to use Config Entity but it looks the same as Form API (and I can't use entity fields there).

I was able to do this in Drupal 8 using the form API and the entity_autocomplete type.

$form['stories'] = [
    '#type' => 'entity_autocomplete',
    '#target_type' => 'node',
    '#title' => $this->t('Stories'),
    '#description' => $this->t('Select some stories.'),
    '#default_value' => $default_entities,
    '#tags' => TRUE,
    '#selection_settings' => array(
        'target_bundles' => array('page', 'article'),
    ),
    '#weight' => '0',
];

This works! Thanks. I completed that adding custom ContentEntityType. It's more complex though. But it also allow more flexibility. – Przemek Leczycki Sep 19 '16 at 11:49

Use webform - there is an entity reference field. This won't be useable for your purpose .. but you can check the source for sake.

The question was asked on August 10, 2016, not on 2010. – apaderno Jan 09 '18 at 14:42
true - and webform nor eform makes sense .. but it's a good alternative if someone wants to create a form via UI – rémy Jan 09 '18 at 16:18
