class Container in Drupal 9

Provides a render element that wraps child elements in a container.

Surrounds child elements with a <div> and adds attributes such as classes or an HTML ID.

Properties:

• #optional: Indicates whether the container should render when it has no visible children. Defaults to FALSE.

Usage example:

$form['needs_accommodation'] = [
  '#type' => 'checkbox',
  '#title' => $this
    ->t('Need Special Accommodations?'),
];
$form['accommodation'] = [
  '#type' => 'container',
  '#attributes' => [
    'class' => [
      'accommodation',
    ],
  ],
  '#states' => [
    'invisible' => [
      'input[name="needs_accommodation"]' => [
        'checked' => FALSE,
      ],
    ],
  ],
];
$form['accommodation']['diet'] = [
  '#type' => 'textfield',
  '#title' => $this
    ->t('Dietary Restrictions'),
];
