interface EntityFormBuilderInterface in Drupal 8

Builds entity forms.

This is like \Drupal\Core\Form\FormBuilderInterface but instead of looking up the form class by class name, it looks up the form class based on the entity type and operation.

interface EntityFormBuilderInterface {

  /**
   * Gets the built and processed entity form for the given entity.
   *
   * The form may also be retrieved from the cache if the form was built in a
   * previous page load. The form is then passed on for processing, validation,
   * and submission if there is proper input.
   *
   * @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity
   *   The entity to be created or edited.
   * @param string $operation
   *   (optional) The operation identifying the form variation to be returned.
   *   Defaults to 'default'. This is typically used in routing:
   *   @code
   *   _entity_form: node.book_outline
   *   @endcode
   *   where "book_outline" is the value of $operation. The class name for the
   *   form for each operation (edit, delete, etc.) can be found in the form
   *   section of the handlers entity annotation. For example:
   *   @code
   *   handlers = {
   *     "form" = {
   *       "delete" = "Drupal\node\Form\NodeDeleteForm",
   *   @endcode
   *   Alternatively, the form class can be set from hook_entity_type_build().
   * @param array $form_state_additions
   *   (optional) An associative array used to build the current state of the
   *   form. Use this to pass additional information to the form, such as the
   *   langcode. Defaults to an empty array.
   *
   * @code
   *   $form_state_additions['langcode'] = $langcode;
   *   $form = \Drupal::service('entity.form_builder')->getForm($entity, 'default', $form_state_additions);
   * @endcode
   *
   * @return array
   *   The processed form for the given entity and operation.
   *
   * @see \Drupal\Core\Form\FormBuilderInterface::getForm()
   * @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface::getFormClass()
   * @see \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface::setFormClass()
   * @see system_entity_type_build()
