form commit data can not collection #259

Closed ZzzhouYu closed 5 years ago

ZzzhouYu commented 5 years ago

When I used this plugin, I found that the request submitted by the form form was not collected. Can I say why I didn't collect it or why I didn't monitor the form submission?

i found BOOMR add the submit listener, and when submit , the BOOMR fire submit event, but i dont see any form submit beacon, what should i do, config anything?

boomerang does not fire a beacon on form submit. It only captures the timestamp and saves it in a cookie.

ZzzhouYu commented 5 years ago

Are there any plans to add this part of the function in the future?

bluesmoon commented 5 years ago

boomerang sends beacons when the page load is complete, not when the user initiates an action. There is a separate beacon sent when the page unloads, but that has to be very small otherwise it will not reach the server. In any event, sending the full contents of a form submission doesn't make sense as that is already being sent to your server.
