Submit & Reset

To submit a form, use a regular <button> (or <lion-button-submit>) somewhere inside the native <form>.

Then, add a submit handler on the <lion-form>.

You can use this event to do your own (pre-)submit logic, like getting the serialized form data and sending it to a backend API.

Another example is checking if the form has errors, and focusing the first field with an error.

To fire a submit from JavaScript, select the <lion-form> element and call .submit().

export const formSubmit = () => {
  loadDefaultFeedbackMessages();
  const submitHandler = ev => {
    const formData = ev.target.serializedValue;
    console.log('formData', formData);
    if (!ev.target.hasFeedbackFor?.includes('error')) {
      fetch('/api/foo/', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(formData),
      });
    }
  };
  const submitViaJS = ev => {
    // Call submit on the lion-form element, in your own code you should use
    // a selector that's not dependent on DOM structure like this one.
    ev.target.previousElementSibling.submit();
  };
  return html`
    <lion-form @submit="${submitHandler}">
      <form @submit="${ev => ev.preventDefault()}">
        <lion-input
          name="firstName"
          label="First Name"
          .validators="${[new Required()]}"
        ></lion-input>
        <lion-input
          name="lastName"
          label="Last Name"
          .validators="${[new Required()]}"
        ></lion-input>
        <div style="display:flex">
          <button>Submit</button>
          <button
            type="button"
            @click="${ev =>
              ev.currentTarget.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.resetGroup()}"
          >
            Reset
          </button>
        </div>
      </form>
    </lion-form>
    <button @click="${submitViaJS}">Explicit submit via JavaScript</button>
  `;
};
