Please review the documentation via the Wiki
By default actions attached to HTML elements (via a ui-action attribute) will be configured automatically allowing Action UI to take control of form submission simply be setting an action name to the <form>:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@dwightbcoder/action-ui"></script>
<form ui-action="save post" action="/post/store" method="POST">
<label for="title">Title:</label><br>
<input type="text" name="title" placeholder="Post title"><br>
<br>
<label for="body">Body:</label><br>
<textarea name="body"></textarea><br>
<br>
<button type="submit">Save Post</button>
</form>
Whenever an action is triggered any element triggers will receive state CSS classes of loading, success, or fail.
For example disable form elements and show an overlay when it is submitted using CSS:
<style>
form.loading
{
position: relative;
pointer-events: none;
}
form.loading::after
{
content: "Saving...";
top: 0; left: 0;
width: 100%; height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.75);
position: absolute; display: flex;
align-items: center; justify-content: center;
}
</style>
You can listen for action.after events for things like informing the user of success or failure:
document.addEventListener('action.after', e => {
if ( e.detail.name == 'save post' )
{
alert( e.detail.success ? 'Success!' : 'Failed!' )
}
})
Setup a simple index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@dwightbcoder/action-ui"></script>
</head>
<body>
<header>Header</header>
<main ui-view="controller"></main>
<footer>Footer</footer>
<script>
ActionUI.Router.start()
</script>
</body>
</html>
Create your views:
view/
error.html
default/
index.html
You now have a simple SPA that will load view content from your external view html files and respond to to page navigation include reload, back, and forward.
