[Form] A programmatic way to get the label of a field #46636

Description

I need a way to get the human-readable label of a form field without rendering the whole form. Unfortunately, the logic that I need is currently implemented in Twig templates:

symfony/src/Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig

Lines 299 to 323 in ce227a1

    
           {%- block form_label_content -%} 
        
               {%- if label is empty -%} 
        
                   {%- if label_format is not empty -%} 
        
                       {% set label = label_format|replace({ 
        
                           '%name%': name, 
        
                           '%id%': id, 
        
                       }) %} 
        
                   {%- else -%} 
        
                       {% set label = name|humanize %} 
        
                   {%- endif -%} 
        
               {%- endif -%} 
        
               {%- if translation_domain is same as(false) -%} 
        
                   {%- if label_html is same as(false) -%} 
        
                       {{- label -}} 
        
                   {%- else -%} 
        
                       {{- label|raw -}} 
        
                   {%- endif -%} 
        
               {%- else -%} 
        
                   {%- if label_html is same as(false) -%} 
        
                       {{- label|trans(label_translation_parameters, translation_domain) -}} 
        
                   {%- else -%} 
        
                       {{- label|trans(label_translation_parameters, translation_domain)|raw -}} 
        
                   {%- endif -%} 
        
               {%- endif -%} 
        
           {%- endblock form_label_content -%}

Do you think it's possible to extract it into a service to make it reusable outside of the rendering process?

Symfony Forms have lots of logic in the templates. Maybe we can take a look if it's possible to move most of that logic, not only the field labels, back to PHP?

What about https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/6.2/src/Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Extension/FormExtension.php#L73?
It may only miss an update for handling label_html 🤔.

The handling of label_html is purely a template thing though, as it is only about choosing whether the template should apply escaping or no.
