Acacha forms

Form objects pattern implementation for Javascript.

Installation

npm install acacha-forms --save

Or you can use unpkg in your html files:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/acacha-forms/dist/acacha-forms.min.js"></script>

Usage

See also examples folder with full code examples

ES6 imports

After package installation you could use this package using ES6 import:

import Form from 'acacha-forms'

Then you can create any form object using constructor, for example a Register User form:

let form = new Form( { name: 'Sergi Tur', email: 'sergiturbadenas@gmail.com', password: '123456', password_confirmation: '123456', terms: 'true' } )

You can also pass a FormData object to constructor:

let form = new AcachaForm(new FormData(document.getElementById('registerForm')))

And then use form methods like post to submit form:

form.post('/register')
  .then( response => {
    console.log('Register done!')
    //do what you need to do if register is ok
  })
  .catch( error => {
    console.log('Register error!')
    console.log(form.errors.all())
  })

See a full example using vue.js at examples/es6 folder.

Node.js require

After package installation you could use this package using require:

var AcachaForm = require('../lib/acacha-forms.min.js')

var API_URL = 'http://localhost:3000/users'

var form = new AcachaForm({
  name: 'Sergi Tur',
  email: 'sergiturbadenas@gmail.com',
  password: '123456',
  password_confirmation: '123456',
  terms: 'true'
})

form.post(API_URL)
  .then(response => {
    console.log('Register done!')
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log('Register error! : ' + error)
    console.log(form.errors.all())
  })
