It is also possible to inject custom components within the Form.io Developer Portal. This allows you to use the Developer Portal to create forms that include your custom components. Note: This currently only works with the Next portal @ https://next.form.io
To make this work, navigate to your project settings, and then click on Custom JS and CSS. Within the Custom JavaScript box, you will then place the hosted URL to the dist/formio-contrib.use.min.js file within this library, like so.
You can also use the unpkg url to this repo to test this out. https://unpkg.com/@formio/contrib@latest/dist/formio-contrib.use.min.js
Using within the Form Manager application
You can also use this method to introduce custom components into the Form Manager application. To get this to work, you just need to Enable Public configurations within your project settings, and then provide the js setting to contain the URL of the dist/formio-contrib.use.min.js file within this repository like so.
