How to fetch dynamic form data to mail using jquery
To fetch dynamic form data using jQuery and send it via email, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Get the form data using jQuery
Use the serialize()
method to get the form data as a string. This method serializes the form elements into a string in the format key=value&key=value
.
var formData = $('#myForm').serialize();
Replace #myForm
with the ID of your form.
Step 2: Prepare the email data
Create a JavaScript object to hold the form data. You can use the JSON.parse()
method to convert the serialized form data into a JSON object.
var emailData = {};
emailData.formData = JSON.parse(formData);
Step 3: Set up the email
Use a library like jQuery Email or EmailJS to send the email. You can also use the built-in mailto
protocol to send the email, but it may not work in all browsers.
var email = {
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'Form Submission',
body: ''
};
// Add the form data to the email body
email.body += 'Form Data:\n';
$.each(emailData.formData, function(key, value) {
email.body += key + ': ' + value + '\n';
});
Step 4: Send the email
Use the email library or the mailto
protocol to send the email.
// Using jQuery Email
$.email.send(email);
// Using EmailJS
EmailJS.send({
to: email.to,
subject: email.subject,
body: email.body
});
// Using mailto protocol
window.location.href = 'mailto:' + email.to + '?subject=' + email.subject + '&body=' + email.body;
Here's the complete code:
$('#submitForm').on('click', function() {
var formData = $('#myForm').serialize();
var emailData = {};
emailData.formData = JSON.parse(formData);
var email = {
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'Form Submission',
body: ''
};
email.body += 'Form Data:\n';
$.each(emailData.formData, function(key, value) {
email.body += key + ': ' + value + '\n';
});
// Send the email
$.email.send(email);
// or
// EmailJS.send({
// to: email.to,
// subject: email.subject,
// body: email.body
// });
// or
// window.location.href = 'mailto:' + email.to + '?subject=' + email.subject + '&body=' + email.body;
});
Make sure to replace #myForm
with the ID of your form and [email protected]
with the recipient's email address.
