Creating a Form

1. Access the Builder: Once the app is running, navigate to the form builder interface.

3. Customize Inputs: Click on any input field to configure properties such as label, placeholder, required validation, etc.

Components

Form Builder consists of various reusable components:

• FormContainer: The main container for the form elements.
• InputField: A customizable input component.
• SelectField: Dropdown selection component.
• CheckboxField: A checkbox input component.
• Button: A styled button component for form submission.

Validation

Form Builder utilizes Zod for input validation. You can define schemas for your forms as follows:

import { z } from 'zod';

const formSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(1, "Name is required"),
  email: z.string().email("Invalid email address"),
  age: z.number().min(18, "You must be at least 18 years old"),
});

This schema can be applied to your form to enforce validation rules.

API

Form Submission

Once your form is ready, you can handle submissions with a simple API call. Here’s an example of how to submit the form data:

const handleSubmit = async (data) => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('/api/form-submit', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    });
    const result = await response.json();
    console.log('Form submitted successfully:', result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error submitting form:', error);
  }
};
