Hi Istvan!
</h3>
<p>
Buttons can do many things beyond submitting a form. They can POST to a URL, fire off an event that your application can listen to, or simply run custom javascript code. In this case, our button will fire off a fetch request to the <a href="https://swapi.dev/">Star Wars API</a> and display the response's name to the user in an alert.
</p>
<p>
This code snippet shows how you might accomplish this in a client-side application. Your form builders can do something similar via the Button Component in the form builder (<a href="https://imgur.com/a/arBl0Ir">see this screenshot</a>).
