How is the V8 style editor submitted?

As such, I have gone through the code for the out of the box (ootb) button. I can trace the code through the difference JavaScript functions and I'm pretty sure the class EditorAction is ultimately called. However, I just can't find the last call, where the JSON is passed from the client to the server.

Here is what I have found so far, any help with this, or any tips, would be greatly appreciated.... as always!

The button is inially created using the statement:
vui.provide("vui.ui.editor.button.save")
The click handler called when the Save button is clicked is:
editor.save
The function above is definted in the object:
vui.provide("vui.ui.editor.Editor")
The Editor save function in turn calls the function:
vui.ui.editor.internal.save
The internal save funciton above builds upon the request object and calls the function
vui.io.api
- The api function above continues to build on the request object and then calls the function
  vui.ajax
- The vui object is declared and the ajax method in turn calls the following function
  vQuery.ajax

It's at this last call to the vQuery.ajax function that I lose the process. I assume it uses the vquery.form.js file but I can't see the connection and ultimately, I can't find the call to the EditorAction class.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.....

You are in the wrong path.

If you want to build a custom submit button for an editor you can mimick what it is done in the appsvcs-extensions code to build the LDF editor.

My suggestion, though, is to refrain from doing these kind of unsupported customizations, since the chance that what you are doing will work in the next release are extremely low.....

How is the V8 style editor submitted?

I am currently in the process of replicating the Save & Close button in the V8 Style Editor. I need to put a number of additional conditions / actions in place before and after the save which can't be handled by the listeners.As such, I have gone through the code for the out of the box (ootb) button. I can trace the code through the difference JavaScript functions and I'm pretty sure the class EditorAction is ultimately called.
