Easy Form values to JSON

The goal

To make an easy tool that quickly converts forms to be asynchronous, and their values to a JSON object.

What it does

This really converts submitted form values to a JS object, which can then be easily converted to JSON with stringify. I cut out the actual stringification in case the data has to be checked or manipulated first.

How to use

1. Add the class 'ezee-ajax-form' to a form
2. Set form 'onsubmit' to the name of the function you want to handle the form with, but not with parenthesis
   • (i.e.) myFuncName NOT myFuncName()
3. Set 'name' or 'id' on each input in the form(will check 'name' first)
4. On form submit
   • The page will not refresh(ajax)
   • The function in form 'onsubmit' will get signature (formValuesAsObj, formElement) Then you can do whatever you want with them!

Notes

• The function name in 'onsubmit' has to point to a function on the window, or global scope. For instance myHandlerObj.myHandlerFunc won't work, at least for now.
• The required class name for the form is only defined once, if you want to find/replace
• I didn't actually set up a webpack flow yet. I just ran the src through an online minifier. I know. It's true. I'm lazy. I'll get to that too eventually.

Isn't this a little short to be a stormtrooper?

(...or github repo?)

Yes. Yes it is. I wanted to make it a repo in case someone came along with a killer idea to improve it. So if you have any suggestions or improvements, feel free!
