AJAX Forms
A class that simplifies AJAX form submission.
Installation
Install the package with NPM:
npm install @donutteam/ajax-forms
Usage
Simply import the class:
import { AJAXForm } from "@donutteam/ajax-form";And then call bindAll:
AJAXForm.bindAll();That will bind all forms on the page with the ajax class on them by default. This can also be customized, see Configuration below.
If you prefer, you can also manually construct an AJAXForm by passing in a form element:
const myForm = document.querySelector("form.my-form");
new AJAXForm(myForm);Configuration
The AJAXForm class contains various static members that can be changed to configure its functionality.
Below are the default options and a brief explanation of what they do:
// The selector required for an element to be selected by bindAll.
AJAXForm.selector = "form.ajax";
// The default credentials mode for the fetch requests performed by AJAXForm.
// This can be overriden on a per-form basis by a "data-credentials-mode" attribute.
AJAXForm.defaultCredentialsMode = "same-origin";
// A selector used on the form itself to find it's message list.
AJAXForm.messageListSelector = "ul";
// The Regular Expression used on message codes to determine if they were success codes.
// This applies a different class to the message list items.
AJAXForm.successCodeRegExp = /SUCCESS_(.*)/;
// The class applied to messages whose codes match the above RegExp.
AJAXForm.successCSSClass = "success";
// The class applied to messages whose codes DO NOT match the above RegExp.
AJAXForm.errorCSSClass = "error";
