Standards for inputs and forms based on onSubmit={} or action={} attributes

Client form inputs using onSubmit={}

import { useState } from 'react';

const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
    exampleValue = ``,
})

const [btnText, setBtnText] = useState("Submit");
const { exampleValue } = formData;

const submitForm = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setBtnText("Processing...");
    const res = await fetchurl(`/API_ROUTE`, "METHOD", "no-cache", {
        ...formData,
        // otherFields; examples:
        // secondaryValueNotControlledByUserOrForm: 'yada=yada'
    });
    if(res.status === "error") {
        toast.error(res.message, "bottom");
        setBtnText("Submit");
        return; // Stop propagation
    }
    setBtnText("Submit");
    toast.success("Data sent", "bottom");
    resetForm();
    router.push(`/PAGE_TO_REDIRECT_TO`);
}

const resetForm = () => {
    setFormData({
        exampleValue = ``,
    })
}
