List out different way to preventing page reloads when submitting forms in Laravel.

In Laravel, there are different ways to stay on the same page while clicking a button and then trigger a specific route or controller action. Here are some approaches you can consider:

1. Using JavaScript to Change Window Location
Use JavaScript to change the window location while preventing the default form submission.
Example:

<form action="{{ route('your.route.name') }}" method="post" id="myForm">
    @csrf
    <!-- Your form fields here -->
    <button type="button" onclick="submitForm()">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
    function submitForm() {
        document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
    }
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Using AJAX to Trigger Controller Action
Use AJAX to send a request to a controller action without refreshing the page.
Example:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

<form id="myForm">
    @csrf
    <!-- Your form fields here -->
    <button type="button" onclick="submitForm()">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
    function submitForm() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: '{{ route('your.route.name') }}',
            data: $('#myForm').serialize(),
            success: function (response) {
                // Handle success response
            },
            error: function (error) {
                // Handle error response
            }
        });
    }
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Using Redirect in Controller
In your controller, you can use the redirect() method to redirect back to the same page.
Controller Example:

public function yourControllerAction() {
    // Your controller logic

    return redirect()->back();
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Using Named Routes
Use named routes in your Blade template to dynamically generate URLs.
Example:

<form action="{{ route('your.route.name') }}" method="post">
    @csrf
    <!-- Your form fields here -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Using JavaScript to Change Window Location with Window History
Use JavaScript's window.location.href to change the window location.
Example:

<form action="{{ route('your.route.name') }}" method="post">
    @csrf
    <!-- Your form fields here -->
    <button type="button" onclick="redirectToRoute()">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
    function redirectToRoute() {
        window.location.href = '{{ route('your.route.name') }}';
    }
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Choose the method that best fits your application's requirements and coding style. Each approach has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on the specific use case and preferences.
