Server response codes to trigger `wizard-error` and `wizard-failure` #57

Open arman-h opened 10 years ago

arman-h commented 10 years ago

Hello all,

What headers or JSON need to be returned by the server to trigger wizard-failure and wizard-error? And what is the difference between failure vs error?

Also, returning 200 response from the server still activates the error card. What kinda of a header or JSON response does the wizard expect for success?

Could you please add this information to the documentation?

Looking at the jquery ajax documentation, if you specify data-type: json (as bootstrap-wizard.js does) then the server has to return valid JSON for success (this can simply be "{}" if you need no data returned).

For example, I am using a PHP script to process the data sent to the server. I just return the following code:

<?php header('Content-type: application/json'); echo('{}'); ?>

This fires the success function correctly. I can access the posted variables in PHP using $_POST['variable_name']; An alternative would be to modify the js to remove the data-type specification. It would be worth highlighting that the server response needs to be valid JSON for the default submit method in the documentation.
