Vue 3.x.x Dynamic Forms

Implementing handcrafted forms can be:

1. Costly
2. Time-consuming

Especially if you need to create a very large form, in which the inputs are similar to each other, and they change frequently to meet rapidly changing business and regulatory requirements.

So, wouldn't it be more economical to create the forms dynamically? Based on metadata that describes the business object model?

That's Vue Dynamic Forms.

Status: Stable

This is the Vue 3.x.x compatible version. Out of the box Typescript support, tree shakeable, improved accessibility and lighter in size. For Vue 2.x.x please use the library tags 2.x.

To create a new Dynamic Form instance, use the createDynamicForms function;

<template>
  <dynamic-form :form="form" @change="valueChanged" />
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import { computed, defineComponent, reactive } from 'vue';

import {
  CheckboxField,
  TextField,
  SelectField,
} from '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms';

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'BasicDemo',
  setup() {
    const form = ref({
      id: 'basic-demo',
      fields: {
        username: TextField({
          label: 'Username',
        }),
        games: SelectField({
          label: 'Games',
          options: [
            {
              value: 'the-last-of-us',
              label: 'The Last of Us II',
            },
            {
              value: 'death-stranding',
              label: 'Death Stranding',
            },
            {
              value: 'nier-automata',
              label: 'Nier Automata',

          label: 'Remember Me',
        }),
      },
    });

    function valueChanged(values) {
      console.log('Values', values);
    }

    return {
      form,
      valueChanged,
    };
  },
});
</script>
