This PR disables all links with a method other than
:get
until PhoenixHTML is loaded (= the expected behaviour is ready), to avoid issueing a wrong GET call if somehow phoenixJS is not yet loaded (latency, JS/bundling error, anything that could prevent phoenix_html.js to load).This way we ensure nobody can hit the wrong GET route when we intended to use only the POST/PUT/DELETE one. For instance a POST might redirect to the matching GET route, in that case you might never know that your POST didn't go through and you just clicked on a link to fetch only the GET route.
I've handled the case where you wanted to create a link disabled, to ensure we don't enable it automatically in JS.
Updated documentation, unit tests and JS part tested in real life.
