API submissions

I'm currently working on providing a "ready-to-paste" example code for API submissions.

This is a brief overview of what to do if you are interested in implementing it yourself.

If you set tobimori.dreamform.mode in your config to api, any POST request will send back a JSON response.

The API schema looks like this:

type ApiResponse = {
  session: string // This is a session key, used for "sessionless" multi-step requests
  success: boolean // Whether the request & validation has been successful so far
  step: number // The current step of the submission
  redirect: string | null // If the redirect action is used, this contains the URL to redirect to
  error: string | null // A global error (e.g. an action failed to run, CSRF validation, etc.)
  errors: Record<string, string> // Validation error for each field, with the name="key" as key and error message as value
  actions: Record<string, unknown> // Custom data set by an action with setActionData()
}

For multi-step forms, you submit each step manually.

Include the session key from the previous response with dreamform:session as value in the request, and choose the step by attaching ?dreamform-step=2 to the API request.
