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

$scope.payForm.$setSubmitted();

Sets the form to its $submitted state. This will also set $submitted on all child and parent forms of the form
