Getting started

Step 1: Install formviewer

NPM

npm install --save formviewer

Step 2: Import the component module

import { FormViewerModule, FVEnviroment } from 'formviewer';

const fvEnviroment: FVEnviroment = {
  debug: environment.debug,
  apiUrl: environment.apiUrl,
  defaultLanguage: {
    Name: 'English',
    Code: 'en',
    Icon: 'fa fa-globe',
  },
  languages: [{
      Name: 'English',
      Code: 'en',
      Icon: 'fa fa-globe',
    }],
  lowerCaseTranslates: true,
};

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [FormViewerModule.forRoot(fvEnviroment)],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 3: Include assets

To load assets like themes and pdf viewer its ncessary to include assets. IF you're using the Angular CLI, you can add this to your angular-cli.json. Note: Path to formviewer bundle must set relative to basepath inside angular-cli.json.

"apps": {
    ...any,
    "assets": [
        ...any,
        {
          "glob": "**/*",
          "input": "../node_modules/formviewer/assets/",
          "output": "./assets/"
        }
    ],
    ...any,
}

Step 3: Include a theme

For now library doesn't allow you to use a custom theme, but i will be avalaible soon. Keep in touch with us.
