- Detect the moment when the form gets dirty, and trigger a custom event, for example enable a "save changes" button
- Detect the moment when the form gets clean again, and trigger a custom event, for example disable the "save changes" button, cause is not necesary
- Prompt the user to save changes before leaving if the form is dirty
The name comes from Christina Aguilera's 2002 song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xMWrKhLJq4
// this can be called on individual forms by id or on "form" to target all forms
// simultaneously
$('#form-id').dirrty({
preventLeaving: false
// this function is called when the form.trigger's "dirty"
}).on("dirty", function() {
console.log("I'm dirty!")
// this function is called when the form.trigger's "clean"
}).on("clean", function() {
console.log("I'm clean!")
