Magento 2 Add category chooser without UI component

Question

I am trying to add category chooser in my custom admin form without ui component but unfortunately I am getting error in system.log

[2019-03-22 09:27:47] main.CRITICAL: Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Chooser doesn'n extend \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\AbstractElement [] []

My form field is like:

$fieldset->addField(
    'category_ids',
    'Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Chooser',
    [
        'name' => 'category_ids',
        'label' => __('Categories'),
        'title' => __('Categories'),
        'required' => true
    ]
);

And Chooser.php is like:

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml;
class Chooser extends \Magento\Catalog\Block\Adminhtml\Category\Widget\Chooser
{
    protected function _elementHtml()
    {
        $element = $this->_element;
        $htmlId  = $element->getId();
        $data   = $element->getData();

        $data['after_element_js']   = $this->_afterElementJs();
        $data['after_element_html'] = $this->_afterElementHtml();
        $data['readonly']           = 'readonly';

        $objectManager  = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
        $elementFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Factory');

        $htmlItem = $elementFactory->create('text', ['data' => $data]);
      $htmlItem
            ->setId("{$htmlId}")
            ->setForm($element->getForm())
            ->addClass('required-entry')
            ->addClass('entities');

        $return  = <<<HTML
            <div id="{$htmlId}-container" class="chooser_container">
                {$htmlItem->getElementHtml()}
            </div>
HTML;

        return $return;
    }

    protected function _afterElementHtml()
    {
        $element = $this->_element;
        $htmlId  = $element->getId();

        $return  = <<<HTML

                });
            </script>
HTML;

        return $return;
    }
}

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

I have solved the issue by following codes: Adding field by following code:

$fieldset->addField(
    'category_ids',
    '\Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Chooser',
    [
        'name' => 'category_ids',
        'label' => __('Categories'),
        'title' => __('Categories'),
        'required' => true
    ]
);

The code for

app/code/Vendor/Module/Block/Adminhtml/Chooser.php

is like below:

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml;

use Magento\Catalog\Model\Category as CategoryModel;

                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }

            }
        </script>';

        return $html;
    }

}

And finally added js file to the below location:

app/code/Vendor/Module/view/adminhtml/web/js/components/new-category.js

with below content:

define([
    'underscore',
    'Magento_Catalog/js/components/new-category'
], function (_, Category) {
    'use strict';

    function flattenCollection(array, separator, created) {
        var i = 0,
            length,
            childCollection;

        array = _.compact(array);
        length = array.length;
        created = created || [];

        for (i; i < length; i++) {
            created.push(array[i]);

            if (array[i].hasOwnProperty(separator)) {
                childCollection = array[i][separator];
                delete array[i][separator];
                flattenCollection.call(this, childCollection, separator, created);
            }
        }

        return created;
    }

    return Category.extend({
        /**
         * Set option to options array.
         *
         * @param {Object} option
         * @param {Array} options
         */
        setOption: function (option, options) {
            var parent = parseInt(option.parent);
            if (_.contains([0, 1], parent)) {
                options = options || this.cacheOptions.tree;
                options.push(option);

                var copyOptionsTree = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.cacheOptions.tree));
                this.cacheOptions.plain = flattenCollection(copyOptionsTree, this.separator);
                this.options(this.cacheOptions.tree);
            } else {
                this._super(option, options);
            }
        }
    });
});

Thats it! Now everything works great!

Piggybacking off of the accepted answer:

In the getElementHtml() function outlined above, I recommend changing

$html .= '<input name="category_ids" data-bind="value: value" style="display: none"/>';

to

$html .= '<input name="'.$this->_id.'" data-bind="value: value" style="display: none"/>';

This will allow your subsequent ->addField() to honor

'name'     => 'name_of_field',

and pass that in your $_POST with the specified field name. Tested working with Magento 2.3.6
