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

Answer 1

Did you try to use the ng-submit directive on your form? You may return true/false after your validation.

Controller

app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$location', function($scope, $location) {
  $scope.submit = function(user) {
    var isvalid = true;
    // validation 
    if (isvalid) {
        $http.get('api/check_something', {}).then(function(result) {
            $location.path(result.data);
        });
        return true;
    }
    return false; //failed
  }
});

Html (you must not have an action attribute)

    
    
    Submit
