Pass entire form as data in jQuery Ajax function

I have a jQuery ajax function and would like to submit an entire form as post data. W开发者_运维知识库e are constantly updating the form so it becomes tedious to constantly update the form inputs that should be sent in the request.


There's a function that does exactly this:

http://api.jquery.com/serialize/

var data = $('form').serialize();
$.post('url', data);


serialize() is not a good idea if you want to send a form with post method. For example if you want to pass a file via ajax its not gonna work.

Suppose that we have a form with this id : "myform".

the better solution is to make a FormData and send it:

    let myform = document.getElementById("myform");
    let fd = new FormData(myform );
    $.ajax({
        url: "example.php",
        data: fd,
        cache: false,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        type: 'POST',
        success: function (response) {
            // do something with the result
        }
    });


In general use serialize() on the form element.

Please be mindful that multiple <select> options are serialized under the same key, e.g.

<select id="foo" name="foo" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">one</option>
    <option value="2">two</option>
    <option value="3">three</option>
</select>

will result in a query string that includes multiple occurences of the same query parameter:

[path]?foo=1&foo=2&foo=3&someotherparams...

which may not be what you want in the backend.

I use this JS code to reduce multiple parameters to a comma-separated single key (shamelessly copied from a commenter's response in a thread over at John Resig's place):

function compress(data) {
    data = data.replace(/([^&=]+=)([^&]*)(.*?)&\1([^&]*)/g, "$1$2,$4$3");
    return /([^&=]+=).*?&\1/.test(data) ? compress(data) : data;
}

which turns the above into:

[path]?foo=1,2,3&someotherparams...

In your JS code you'd call it like this:

var inputs = compress($("#your-form").serialize());

Hope that helps.


Use

serialize( )

var str = $("form").serialize();

Serialize a form to a query string, that could be sent to a server in an Ajax request.


A good jQuery option to do this is through FormData. This method is also suited when sending files through a form!

<form id='test' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
   <input type='text' name='testinput' id='testinput'>
   <button type='submit'>submit</button>
</form>

Your send function in jQuery would look like this:

$( 'form#test' ).submit( function(){
   var data = new FormData( $( 'form#test' )[ 0 ] );

   $.ajax( {
      processData: false,
      contentType: false,

      data: data,
      dataType: 'json',
      type: $( this ).attr( 'method' );
      url: 'yourapi.php',
      success: function( feedback ){
         console.log( "the feedback from your API: " + feedback );
      }
});

to add data to your form you can either use a hidden input in your form, or you add it on the fly:

var data = new FormData( $( 'form#test' )[ 0 ] );
data.append( 'command', 'value_for_command' );


You just have to post the data. and Using jquery ajax function set parameters. Here is an example.

<script>
        $(function () {

            $('form').on('submit', function (e) {

                e.preventDefault();

                $.ajax({
                    type: 'post',
                    url: 'your_complete url',
                    data: $('form').serialize(),
                    success: function (response) {
                        //$('form')[0].reset();
                       // $("#feedback").text(response);
                        if(response=="True") {
                            $('form')[0].reset();
                            $("#feedback").text("Your information has been stored.");
                        }
                        else
                            $("#feedback").text(" Some Error has occured Errror !!! ID duplicate");
                    }
                });

            });

        });
    </script>


The other solutions didn't work for me. Maybe the old DOCTYPE in the project I am working on prevents HTML5 options.

My solution:

<form id="form_1" action="result.php" method="post"
 onsubmit="sendForm(this.id);return false">
    <input type="hidden" name="something" value="1">
</form>

js:

function sendForm(form_id){
    var form = $('#'+form_id);
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: $(form).attr('action'),
        data: $(form).serialize(),
        success: function(result) {
            console.log(result)
        }
    });
}
