Hello,
I want to get an object from an action, which is called by an ajax form component.

Steps to reproduce.

1. create a ajax form where you passing values for a model (eg. title and description for a post)

2. After handling the submitting form let pass the data to a action

3. In the action you will safe the given data to the MongoDB and fetch that created data with .fetch()

4. You pass the fetched data to exits.success(fetchedData)

5. Try to get the data in the submittedForm function in the xxxx.page.js

I am not able to get the data. I logged the ajax-form.components.js. In line 398, we emit the result (the result should have our data, in my case it is the fact) but after that, the result is gone.
Maybe I understand it wrong, obviously I do things wrong.

If you need more info, let me know.

To get data back from the back end using an ajax form, you need to include a 'submitted' function. In your html:

<ajax-form action="nameOfAction" @submitted="submittedAjaxForm" ... >

This function runs only if the action returns a success response. In the page script (front-end javascript file that includes a .page in the file name), you will define this function and what you want to do with the data:

submittedAjaxForm: async function (responseData) { console.log(responseData); }
