POST Links

Ever needed to open an URL by clicking a link or a button but without showing your precious query string parameters? Suffer no more my friend, for I am here to help!

How to

Just add a method="post" to a <a href="..."> element. Every data-property attribute will be passed as data for the request.

<a method="post" href="http://example.com/pdf/generate" data-secret-id="123910" data-name="PDF-NAME">
    Download the super secret PDF
</a>

You can also change the target="".

<a method="post" href="http://example.com/pdf/generate" data-secret-id="123910" target="_blank">
    Open in new tab the super secret PDF
</a>

How
