ASW Form Builder helps you with rapid development and designed web forms which includes several controls. The key feature of Form Builder is to make your content attractive and effective. We can customize our control at run time and preview the same before final submission.

Form Builder is compatible with the latest version of Angular and Angular Material. Only a few clicks can create an attractive web form and provide a JSON Schema to render all controls.

Installation

Below are some prerequisites before install Form Builder.

Step 1: Install Angular Material

Install Angular Material by running the following command:

ng add @angular/material

Step 2: Install ASW Form Builder PRO

Install Form Builder to set up in the project by running the following command:

npm install @asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro

Step 3: Set the license key

ASW Form Builder Pro will display an invalid key watermark if you do not set a license key. ASW Form Builder validates the license key without any network call. The license key for Form Builder Library is a one-time setup. You don't need to set license key for each instance of form builder you create, just need to set it statically in main.ts file as shown below:

import { AswLicense } from '@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/core';

AswLicense.registerLicenseKey('your license key');

Step 4: Import the component modules

Import the NgModule for each component you want to use:

import { AswFormBuilderModule } from '@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/form-builder';
import { AswPreviewTemplateModule } from '@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/preview-template';
// ...

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // shown passing global defaults (optional)
    AswFormBuilderModule,
    AswPreviewTemplateModule
    ...
  ]
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 5: Include a theme

Including a theme is required to apply the form builder and controls design.

You can include this theme in component SCSS or CSS files to not use this globally in your application.

@import '~@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/theme/asw-theme.min.css';

If you're using the Angular CLI, and you want to use themes globally in your application. Then you can add this to your styles.css or angular.json:

styles.css or styles.scss:

@import '~@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/theme/asw-theme.min.css';

or

angular.json:

"styles": [
  "./node_modules/@asoftwareworld/form-builder-pro/theme/asw-theme.min.css"
],

If you are not using the Angular CLI, you can include a theme via a <link> element in your index.html.

Add a selector to HTML

In your template, use the component selector:

<asw-form-builder [currentLanguage]="'en'"
    [cssFramework]="CSSFramework"
    [controlPersonalization]="ControlPersonalization"
    [propertyPersonalization]="propertyPersonalization"
    [isShowPreviewButton]="isShowPreviewButton"
    [isShowJsonDataButton]="isShowJsonDataButton"
    [isShowPublishButton]="isShowPublishButton"
    [controlCollectionName]="controlCollectionName"
    [patterns]="pattern"
    (publishClick)="saveJsonData($event)" 
    (previewClick)="previewTemplate($event)"
    (buttonClick)="buttonClick($event)"
    (aswModelChange)="onSelectionChange($event)"></asw-form-builder>

Preview Template, use the component selector in your HTML page:

<asw-preview-template [formContainer]="jsonData" 
    (buttonClick)="buttonClick($event)"
    (aswModelChange)="onSelectionChange($event)">
</asw-preview-template>

Define in your component to get published event :

export class AppComponent {
    title = 'ASW Form Builder Demo';
    jsonData: any[] = [];
    jsonData1: any[] = [];
    isShowPreviewButton = false;
    isShowJsonDataButton = true;
    isShowPublishButton = false;
    ControlPersonalization: string[] = []; // Add those control enum which you want to exculde from the asw form builder.
    propertyPersonalization: string[] = [];
    controlCollectionName = '';
    
    // Publish Template
    saveJsonData(data: any){
        //.... 
        console.log(data);
        // do something
    }
    
    //Preview Template
    previewTemplate(data: any){
        this.jsonData = data;
    }

    buttonClick(data: any): void {
        console.log(data);
    }

    onSelectionChange(control: any): void {
        console.log(control);
    }
}
