分离Suite的POST请求

Question

My goal is to attach a custom Submit button to a Suitelet that sends a post request to an external server. The problem I am having is that when rendering the page the function send() within my custom button in form.addButton('submit','Submit', send(form)); is running when the page is loaded. Because of this, no data is being sent to the send() function and therefore not being handled properly.

From what I understand, this problem has to do with the original POST request rendering the Suitelet and then interfering with the POST request I want to send. What I need to do is separate or differentiate the POST request that renders the form from the one that sends the form. The ideal would be to have this done in a User Event Script but forms can only be used in Suitelets in SS1.0...

Is there any way this is possible? Should I use SuiteScript 2.0 to achieve this? Below is how my code looks:

function main(request, response){
        var form = nlapiCreateForm('Submission Form');
        form.addField('one', 'text', 'Field 1');
        response.writePage(form);
        form.addButton('submit','Submit', send(form));      
}

function send(form){ process form data somewhere... }

Answer 1

When you are doing send(form) on the Suitelet you are actually running the function. The form.addButton method 3rd parameter accepts a string, so you want to do something like

form.addButton('submit','Submit', "alert('Sending form')")

You can add a whole stringified function if you want to build your own POST, although I think it would be easier to just include a form.addSubmitButton(label) and that sends the form data to the same Suitelet and from there you can just send that data by POST using nlapiRequestURL
