Identifying which form sends the POST method-CodePudding

I have been trying to achieve something so that when I receive the POST I know which form sends it

I checked the form attributes and it doesn't seem to be able to have an ID or something similar, I can't think of anything functional inside the router.post() either and what little I have come up with hasn't worked

This is the form

<form action="/dashboard/" method="POST">
   <div >
      <button >Do!</button>
   </div>
</form>

I want to know if the FORM that sends the post is that one.

This is the way I receive the POST in its respective .js file

router.post("/", async (req, res) => { . . .

I have tried testing some things with req, without any luck

As a little relevant information, I'm using Bootstrap 5, I don't have my own styles or classes.

Add a hidden input field to the form like

<input type="hidden" id="formName" name="formName" value="myDashboardForm">

Then access the "formName" inside the POST variables on the Backend.

CodePudding user response：

A simple approach would be to include a hidden input

<form action="/dashboard/" method="POST">
   <div >
      <button >Do!</button>
   </div>
   <input type="hidden" id="formId" name="formId" value="formType1">
</form>

Then you should be able to get the formType in req.body.formId

CodePudding user response：

Add the input field to be hidden and acess using the form id

<form action="/dashboard/" method="POST">
   <div >
      <button >Do!</button>
   </div>
   <input type="hidden" id="formId" name="formId" value="formType1">
</form>
