How do you Process a POST Request on a Panel?

[kkeiper1103]

I'm using the panels feature like this:

$panel->add([
    'type' => 'panel',
    'as' => 'productImporterPanel',
    'title' => 'Product Importer',
    'slug' => 'products-importer',
    'icon' => 'dashicons-download',
    'uses' => __NAMESPACE__ . "\\Controllers\\ImportController@getIndex"
]);

The method exposes a form for uploading a spreadsheet that will be imported into the database. How do I register a method to handle a POST request to that panel?

If I'm doing it wrong, please tell me what the official way to do this is.

Hi @kkeiper1103

You can add extra requests like:

    'get' => [
        'edit' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\Controllers\\SetController@show',
        'delete' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\Controllers\\SetController@getDestroy',
    ],
    'post' => [
        'uses' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\Controllers\\SetsController@store',
        'edit' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\Controllers\\SetController@update',
        'delete' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\Controllers\\SetController@postDestroy',
    ]

or

    'post.add' => __NAMESPACE__.'\Controllers\AdminController@add',
    'post.delete' => __NAMESPACE__.'\Controllers\AdminController@delete',

post.uses is the standard post request, if you want to set an action &action=update then you would use post.update. If you want set fake a method, for example trigger a post panel using get you can add &_method=POST.
