remoteform

Ajaxify forms easily

Install

First of all install nodejs if you haven't already.

In your project directory, hit the following command order to install remoteform:

npm install remoteform --save

remoteform relies on fetch for making requests, hence you may need to install a polyfill in addition.

Usage

Create your html form

<div id="test" class="remoteform">
  <form action="/submit.html" method="POST">
    <div class="form-group">
      <input class="form-control" name="test" value=""/>
    </div>
    <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</div>

Import remoteform to your bundle and initialize with the specified selector:

const remoteform = require('remoteform');

remoteform('#test');

If you control all forms on your site, you may want to ajaxify all forms globally by omitting the selector or passing in form.

Customizing response selector

By default, remoteform generates a unique selector for the given element against which it matches the response. You can customize the responseSelector by specifying the corresponding option as follows.

const remoteform = require('remoteform');

remoteform('#test', {
  responseSelector: '.my-response-selector'
});

Options

Name	Type	Description
request	Object	Options passed to fetch
responseSelector	String	Customize the remote content selector
