submit()

Specification

Performs a manual submit of the current Form. Submit function returns a Promise that resolves into different SubmitState.

Manual submit is meant for explicit usage scenarios, and is not a conventional way of submitting your forms. If you are not sure if you need manual submit, then you don't need it.

Definition

type Submit = () => Promise<SubmitState>

Example

import React from 'react'
import { Form } from 'react-advanced-form'
import { Input } from 'react-advanced-form-addons'

export default class Example extends React.Component {
 handleSubmit = () => {
   // Make sure to return a Promise here
  }

  handleClick = () => {
    this.form.submit().then((submitState) => {
      // This is called after the Promise of `this.handleSubmit` resolves/rejects
    })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form
          ref={form => this.form = form}
          action={this.handleSubmit}>
          <Input
            name="username"
            required />
        </Form>

        <a href="#" onClick={this.handleClick}>Submit manually</a>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Make sure to provide Form.props.action since that will be invoked after calling manual submit of the form.
