BitButton should trigger form onsubmit when inside a form

[linkdotnet]

I am not sure if this is really feasible and I do understand that the idea is arguable at best. But anyway:

Any button, which doesn't define explicitly the type="button" inside a form, will be of type="submit".

The missing value default and invalid value default are the Submit Button state.

Specification can be found here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-elements.html#attr-button-type

That means if we have a component like this:

<EditForm Model="@MyModel" OnValidSubmit="HandleSubmit">
    <BitButton>Submit</BitButton>
</EditForm>

@code {
    private void HandleSubmit()
    {
        // Something to be invoked here
    }
}

Clicking on the button would invoke HandleSubmit. Only explicitly setting it to ButtonType="BitButtonType.Submit".
Now I do understand that the default is ButtonType.Button which translates to type="button". The confusion comes from the point that if you would do that in html (without specifing the type) the form would be submitted.

One possible solution would be to make ButtonType optional aka nullable and check whether or not a EditContext is available.

If wished I can try to create a Pull-Request. The described solution above would be a breaking change. As you released v2 not so long ago, that might be not ideal.

thanks for pointing out the issue. I agree with your solution, it's feasible and I think it works fine.
let us discuss its impact on the current implementations and the effect of the breaking change.
although, submitting a PR to fix this would be great.

Cool. Thanks for the super swift answer! Much appreciated.
