Submit PUT form in vuetify and laravel

Question

im tryng to submit a form with a Laravel API in Vuejs. But i have this issue when i need to edit the user data.

Im using this vform method because i want to upload a avatar picture and in this github accound this guys add this function with npm. ( https://github.com/cretueusebiu/vform/blob/master/example/upload.html ).

The problem i have is in the edit part, when i add a new user the function works. But in edit its says

TypeError: this.form_edit.submit is not a function

Here is my code in the edit view.

If anyone dont understand, sorry english is not my first lenguage, so if you want to ask anything, please do it.

Answer 1

You are already saying to run the update function if the use submits your form. In your update you do not need to submit the form since the event already exists.

Further I am not sure what this line is doing there:

<form @submit.prevent="update" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Why are you trying to achieve with ...prevent="update"

I would simply post your form using an xhr request, you could use axios for instance like this:

  data() {
    return {
      fields: {},
      errors: {},
    }
  },
  methods: {
    submit() {
      this.errors = {};
      axios.post('/api/usuarios'+this.id, this.fields).then(response => {
        alert('Message sent!');
        // your logic ...
      }).catch(error => {
        if (error.response.status === 422) {
          this.errors = error.response.data.errors || {};
        }
      });
    },
