Enum Method 

pub enum Method {
    Get,
    Post,
    Dialog,
}

The method attribute values for <form> elements.

Purpose

Specifies the HTTP method used to submit the form data to the server, controlling how data is sent and how it affects server state.

Usage Context

• Used with: <form> elements
• Default: get if not specified
• Security: Use post for sensitive data or state-changing operations

Valid Values

• Get: Submit data as URL query parameters (idempotent, cacheable)
• Post: Submit data in request body (for state changes, sensitive data)
• Dialog: Close dialog and submit without HTTP request

Example

use ironhtml_attributes::{AttributeValue, Method};
let method = Method::Post;
assert_eq!(method.to_attr_value(), "post");

<form action="/search" method="get">...</form>
<form action="/login" method="post">...</form>
<form method="dialog">...</form>

Trait Implementations

impl AttributeValue for Method

fn to_attr_value(&self) -> Cow<'static, str>

Convert to the attribute value string.

impl Clone for Method

fn clone(&self) -> Method

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Method

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Method

fn eq(&self, other: &Method) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
