PHP Vue form formData 50: input text textarea checkbox using ajax (axios)


Happy Coding

Add external script in head tag.
First for vue, and second for axios ajax.

<head>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/axios/0.19.0/axios.js"></script>

</head>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In body, add div tag with id="myApp" for virtual DOM Vue

    <div id="myApp" >        

        <!-- v-on:submit.prevent -->
        <form method="post" action="process.php" @submit="submit" ref="formHTML" >

            Firstname: <input type="text" name="firstname" v-model="form.firstname" />
            <br />

            Lastname: <input type="text" name="lastname" v-model="form.lastname" />
            <br />

            Description: <textarea name="description" v-model="form.description" rows="10" cols="50" ></textarea>
            <br />

            Hobby (single): <input type="checkbox" name="hobby" v-model="form.hobby" /> Studying
            <br />

            <hr />

            <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

        </form>

                submit: async function (event) {

                    event.preventDefault();


                    var formHTML = event.target; // this.$refs.formHTML

                    console.log( formHTML ); // formHTML element


                    // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData/Using_FormData_Objects
                    var formData = new FormData( formHTML );

                    console.log( formData );


                    // https://github.com/axios/axios

                    /* AJAX request */
                    this.ajax( formHTML, formData ); // ajax( form, data, destination = null )

                },

                ajax: async function ( form, data, destination = null ) {

                    await axios( {

                        method: form.method,
                        url: form.action,

                        }

                    } )

                    .then( result => {

                        this.result = result.data;
