Description

Describe the problem

After a remote form function is executed, there is no way to know whether we are being redirected. A use case for this is to disable the form after submission. We can use form.pending to disable all the form controls while submitting, but the form controls will then be enabled again while we are being redirected.

Reproduction: https://www.sveltelab.dev/4q5x27lrbyj9y7n?files=.%2Fsrc%2Froutes%2F%2Bpage.svelte%2C.%2Fsrc%2Flib%2Fdata.remote.js

Describe the proposed solution

Some way to know whether we are being redirected. Maybe form.redirecting? Or it could be exposed in the return value of submit in enhance, but I don't think that would work for query and prerender.

Research direction

Start by running the linked reproduction and reading src/routes/+page.svelte together with src/lib/data.remote.js to understand the form submission flow. Define and implement a way for callers to know that a remote form operation is redirecting, covering the stated enhance, query, and prerender cases, then verify that controls can remain disabled through the redirect.
