javascript - PrimeFaces.ab function -

cant seem find documentation primefaces.ab function

primefaces.ab({source:'signupform:signupbutton'}); return false; 

can me code above meant do? has been written against onclick of submit button.

the primefaces.ab function shortcut function primefaces.ajax.ajaxrequest.

    //ajax shortcut     ab: function(cfg, ext) {         return primefaces.ajax.ajaxrequest(cfg, ext);     } 

the primefaces.ajax.ajaxrequest can asynchronous or synchronous. ajaxrequest uses ajaxutils, handles send, process, response, , update.

primefaces.ajax.ajaxrequest = function(cfg, ext) {     cfg.ext = ext;      if(cfg.async) {         return primefaces.ajax.ajaxutils.send(cfg);     }     else {         return primefaces.ajax.queue.offer(cfg);     } } 

passing cfg (configuration) object primefaces.ajax.ajaxutils.send(cfg), cfg object has:

• cfg.global: boolean value used trigger p:ajaxstatus if it's true.
• cfg.onstart: called when request send.
• cfg.async: boolean value, if call asynchronous or not.
• cfg.source: can client id or element defined keyword
• cfg.formid: if explicit form defined, or parent source
• cfg.resetvalues
• cfg.ignoreautoupdate
• cfg.fragmentid: used process of components
• cfg.fragmentupdate
• cfg.event: behaviour event, click or change
• cfg.params: request params
• cfg.partialsubmit: if partial submit enabled, there components process partially
• cfg.onerror: called when request had error status.
• cfg.onsuccess: called when request had success status.
• cfg.oncomplete: called when request completed.

note: came explanation based on understanding of source code.
