Forminator to API Handle Errors

Resolved

(@satrya)

Hi there,
I am using forminator_custom_form_submit_before_set_fields to send the form data to API. Here is a simple example.

add_action(
    'forminator_custom_form_submit_before_set_fields',
    function ($entry, $form_id, $form_data_array) {
        if ($form_id != 12345) {
            return;
        }

        // API key & Endpoint
        $endpoint = 'https://endpoint.com/api';
        $body = [
            'name' => 'Satrya',
            'email' => '[email protected]',
        ];
        $body = wp_json_encode($body);

        // Send the data to the API
        $response = wp_remote_post($endpoint, [
            'body'        => $body,
            'headers'     => [
                'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
            ],
            'timeout'     => 60,
            'redirection' => 5,
            'blocking'    => true,
            'httpversion' => '1.0',
            'data_format' => 'body',
        ]);

        if (is_wp_error($response)) {
            // Handle error
        } else {
          // Handle success
        }

    },
    10,
    3
);

If Error or something when wrong
1. I’d like to display a custom message.
2. Stop form submit

Appreciate for any help. Thanks!

Hi @satrya

Can try something like the following snippet. Instead of forminator_custom_form_submit_before_set_fields use forminator_custom_form_submit_errors to add an error and this filter forminator_custom_form_invalid_form_message for showing the error on top of the form.

add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_submit_errors', function( $submit_errors, $form_id, $field_data_array ) {

		if ($form_id != 12345) {
            return $submit_errors;
        }

        // API key & Endpoint
        $endpoint = 'https://endpoint.com/api';
        $body = [
            'name' => 'Satrya',
            'email' => '[email protected]',
        ];
        $body = wp_json_encode($body);

        // Send the data to the API
        $response = wp_remote_post($endpoint, [
            'body'        => $body,
            'headers'     => [
                'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
            ],
            'timeout'     => 60,
            'redirection' => 5,
            'blocking'    => true,
            'httpversion' => '1.0',
            'data_format' => 'body',
        ]);

        if (is_wp_error($response)) {
            $submit_errors[]['submit'] = __('Your error message', 'forminator');
            $GLOBALS['api_error'] = true;
        } else {
          // Handle success
        	$GLOBALS['api_error'] = false;
        }
return $submit_errors;
},15,3);

add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_invalid_form_message', 'wpmudev_invalid_form_error_response', 10, 2 );
function wpmudev_invalid_form_error_response( $invalid_form_message, $form_id ){
	if( $form_id != 12345 ) {
		return $invalid_form_message;
	}

	

	if ( $GLOBALS['api_error'] ) {
		$invalid_form_message = __( 'Your error message', 'forminator' );
	}
	
	return $invalid_form_message;
}

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi Kris,
If error, will it stop the form submitting the data?
