EditForm: Add method to submit form async

[FluentGuru]

Right now you can only submit the EditForm by adding a button[type=submit] and clicking it. I'd like to have a way to manually invoke the form submit with a method. Something like

<EditForm Model=@model ref="myForm"> <button on click="@(() => myForm.Submit())">Click me</button> </EditForm>

Thanks for contacting us, @FluentGuru.

@SteveSandersonMS I think this is a reasonable ask and quite common use case. What do you think?

@mkArtakMSFT I made a workaround to have this functionality while it's being implemented

This extension method takes the implementation inside EditForm.cs
https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/blob/67b665208c94908ef8503e39d54e078a2ea778dc/src/Components/Components/src/Forms/EditForm.cs#L120

I might make a PR to properly implement this on the API after I solve my immediate problem if you guys accept it :D

I created a PR with this change :)

We've moved this issue to the Backlog milestone. This means that it is not going to happen for the coming release. We will reassess the backlog following the current release and consider this item at that time. However, keep in mind that there are many other high priority features with which it will be competing for resources.

[mkArtakMSFT]

Thanks for your effort, @FluentGuru. We will however look into this issue in a more broader way in the future release, as we're handling only highest-priority issues in this area for the upcoming release.

Alright. Thanks for the heads up :)
