- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted an autosave feature on your Drupal site’s forms, so content creators won’t lose their work if they accidentally close the window or lose power? There’s a module for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in Nov 2016 by Hristo Chonov of 1x Internet, who is also one of the organizers of Drupal Dev Days 2024 in Burgas
- Versions available: 8.x-1.4 which works with Drupal 9 and 10
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained, most recent comment less than 3 months ago
- Test coverage
- 38 open issues, 20 of which are bugs
- Usage stats:
- 6,414 sites
- Module features and usage
- Works by automatically saving the content of the current form every 60 seconds, though the time period is configurable
- When a user opens a form, if an autosaved state exists for that form a dialog will be shown asking if they want to resume editing or discard any autosaved states
- Once a form is submitted, any saved states will be automatically deleted
- Notionally it should work with both content entity forms and config forms, but the majority of development and testing has been with entity forms in mind
- The project page also mentions an issue with nested entity reference inline forms, and has links to relevant Drupal core issues
- Worth noting that this module uses AJAX to save the states to the Drupal database, separate from entity revisions
- If you want a solution that save form states into the browser’s localStorage instead, you can check out the Save Form State module, using the jQuery Sisyphus plugin
