Feature Request: Submit Lifecycle Triggers

[crobinson42]

feature request

I would like to have some event driven behavior in forms that are triggered on lifecycle naming conventions, ie: onBeforeSubmit onAfterSubmit etc..

My use case is processing some async data in a custom field that is a child of the form and after the processing is done in the field it makes a final change to the field's value before the submit fires.

Thoughts?

I don't know if this would fix your issue but I was facing something similar where I was submitting a form but waiting for some background event to complete prior to my form submission hitting the API. it looks like this:

  async onSubmit (values) {
    // If the draft is in the middle of saving, let it finish before continuing
    if (this.isSavingDraft) {
      setTimeout(() => this.onSubmit(values), 1000);
      return;
    }

   ...

you could alternatively set do something like

myPromiseThingy = this.backgroundEvent();

...

// (inside onsubmit)
if (myPromiseThingy) {
  await myPromiseThingy;
}
