@mathewparet/form-error-control

A js form and error class to easily handle errors returned by Laravel. Attach input controls to the form object to see magic!

Installation

npm i @mathewparet/form-error-control

Usage

import Form from "@mathewparet/form-error-control";
registrationForm = new Form({
    name: null,
    email: null,
    password: null,
    password_confirmation: null,
});
// use this form varible as model holder for form controls

Submitting form

To submit form using this form module, just call <form-object>.<method>(<url>). This returs a promise. Before the promise then or catch is called the form.errors object will be populated with any errors returned by Laravel.

Example:

function submitForm(e)
{
    e.preventDefault();
    this.registrationForm.post('/api/register')
        .then(response => console.log(response))
        .catch(error => console.log(error));
}

Automatically clear errors when fields are updated

To automatically clear form error variables when fields are updated, assign a callback to the keyDown event of the form:

function formKeyDownEvent($event)
{
    registrationForm.errors.clear($event.target.name);
}

Get error message for a form item

registrationForm.errors.get('name');

Check whether a form item has any error

registrationForm.errors.has('name');

Additional properties

<form-object>.busy will be set to true when the form has been submitted, but no response (success or error) has been returned yet.
