Javascript: Is there a way to name submit functions?

December 28, 2021

I am trying to return the "value" variable to use on another function but it says that the "getData" is not defined

$('form').submit(function getForm(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        var value = $(this).data('test');
        return value;
    });

    fromForm = getForm();

    function alertForm(){
        alert(fromForm);
    }

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form data-test="1">
    <input type="text"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>
<form data-test="2">
    <input type="text"/>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

>Solution :

I think this is what you want

$('form').submit(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var value = $(this).data('test');
    alertForm(value);
});


function alertForm(fromForm){
    alert(fromForm);
}
