Getting Started

FormAlly form editor for ReactJS, creates .json definitions for rendering with @immutablesoft/form-render. To see this library in action, and to view documentation of supported form fields, visit https://formally.immutablesoft.org

Install the library

npm install --save @immutablesoft/form-edit

Import and Use the library

This application requires React (a peerDependency of the library). Here is an example import and basic usage. Typically the resulting 'formData' will be used for a call to FormRender, or saved to a file for later use with FormRender (an import from @immutablesoft/form-render).

import { FormEdit, FormEditToObjectArrayNoHeader } from "@immutablesoft/form-edit"

...

  const [formData, setFormData] = useState("");

  // ---------------------------------------------------------------
  // Submit button handling events for UI forms
  // ---------------------------------------------------------------
  const handleEditSubmit = (event) => { 
    event.preventDefault(); 
    const data = new FormData(event.target);

    // Without form name, parse the form and populate object array
    var formData = FormEditToObjectArrayNoHeader(data, "formally_separator_3210");

    setFormData(formData);
  };

  return (
      <div align="center">
        <FormEdit nameObj={form.formally} initialFields={form.form}
                  handleEditSubmit={handleEditSubmit} />
      </div>
