Can I trigger a form submit from a controller?

Question

I\'d like to do a traditional form submit from within a controller. The scenario is that I want to hit a route on my web server and redirect to its response, which I can do

You can add submit method to a FormController. I did so:

.directive("ngFormCommit", [function(){
    return {
        require:"form",
        link: function($scope, $el, $attr, $form) {
            $form.commit = function() {
                $el[0].submit();
            };
        }
    };
}])

.controller("AwesomeCtrl", ["$scope", function($scope){
   $scope.save = function($form) {
     if ($form.$valid) {
         $form.commit();
     }
   };
}])
