Ajax-ify your forms by just adding some data attributes
npm install bluegg-ajaxAjax-ify your forms just by adding some data attributes.
``shell`install
npm install --save bluegg-ajax
Add the following data attributes to your form elements:
`html`
Whilst submitting, a data-ajax-submitting attribute will be added to the relevant form element.
In this example, after the form submits the ajax request, it will attempt to call a function called myAjaxCallback (defined in the data-ajax-callback attribute), which needs to be defined in your js like this:
`javascript`
window.myAjaxCallback = function(response) {
// your callback code
}
A response object will be passed to your callback function. This object contains a data property that will contain whatever json is returned from the page defined in the action attribute of the form element.
To ajax-ify your forms, just require the module and run it as a function:
`javascript
// import - common.js
var ajax = require('bluegg-ajax');
// initiate forms
ajax();
``
This will find any forms on the current page that contain the data-ajax attribute and modify them so they submit using ajax instead of submitting normally.
All fields within the form will be passed as POST data to the page defined in the action attribute of the form element.
