Form submission

Stratox Pilot supports automatic form submission handling through routers, a feature that must be explicitly enabled in the Dispatcher's configuration.

1. Enable Form Submission

To allow automatic catching and routing of form submissions, enable the catchForms option in the Dispatcher configuration:

const dispatcher = new Dispatcher({
    catchForms: true
});

2. Define Routes

Next, define the routes that will handle form submissions. For example, to handle a POST request:

// POST: example.se/#post/contact
router.post('/post/contact', function(vars, request, path) {
    console.log('Contact form posted with form request:', request.post);
});

3. Implement Form Submission

Forms can use both GET and POST methods. Below is an example of a form designed to submit via POST:

<form action="#post/contact" method="post">
    <div>
        <label>First name</label>
        <input type="text" name="firstname" value="">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>Last name</label>
        <input type="text" name="lastname" value="">
    </div>
    <div>
        <label>E-mail</label>
        <input type="email" name="email" value="">
    </div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>

With these settings, the dispatcher will automatically capture and route submissions to the corresponding handler if a matching route is found.
