ui/bindings/submithandler

A handler useful for views working as HTML forms. It intercepts a native DOM submit event, prevents the default web browser behavior (navigation and page reload) and fires the submit event on a view instead. Such a custom event can be then used by any emitter, e.g. to serialize the form data.

import { submitHandler } from '@ckeditor/ckeditor5-ui/src/bindings/submithandler';

// ...

class AnyFormView extends View {
	constructor() {
		super();

		// ...

		submitHandler( {
			view: this
		} );
	}
}

// ...

const view = new AnyFormView();

// A sample listener attached by an emitter working with the view.
this.listenTo( view, 'submit', () => {
	saveTheFormData();
	hideTheForm();
} );
