Example

{
  "actions": [
    {
      "action": "validate"
    },
    {
      "action": "runUtilityHook",
      "options": {
        "type": "save"
      }
    }
  ],
  "text": "Save This Form",
  "type": "button"
}

Behavior Notes

• BetterForms emits the page validation event and waits for the form validation result.
• If validation succeeds, the action queue continues to the next action.
• If validation fails, BetterForms clears the pending action queue for that action run.
• If onFailed is supplied as a function, BetterForms calls it after validation fails.
• validate does not define any runtime options keys in the current implementation.
