Extjs Form Action Submit - Custom override?

Question

Looking at the source code of Action.Submit, I'm trying to figure out where ext is appending the form's fields to the parameters.

Instead of sending each field as a separate parameter, I want to send something like:

formObj:{field1:value, field2:value}

Currently, each of those values are simply added to the parameter list along with any custom/baseParams.

Where are these formfields being added so that I can change this behaviour?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you really want to track the process of creating parameter list, you can refer to Ext.form.Action.getParams.

You should also consider Ext.form.BasicForm.getValues as it returns exactly the result you want, the only problem is that you'll need to send it manually, e.g. using Ext.Ajax.request.

I'm not sure what your override needs to look like, but you'll probably want to look at Ext.Ajax.request() (in Core / Connection.js). When posting a form, the fields get serialized there, in this code block:

            if(form = Ext.getDom(o.form)){
                url = url || form.action;
                serForm = Ext.lib.Ajax.serializeForm(form);                 
                p = p ? (p + '&' + serForm) : serForm;
            }
