Vue form builder (HTML)

I highly recommend to use this component in conjunction with @spicycoding/vue-form-parser

Quick install

NPM:

npm install @spicycoding/vue-form-builder

Yarn

yarn add @spicycoding/vue-form-builder

Documentation

Add this at the top of your javascript file

import FormBuilder from '@spicycoding/vue-form-builder';

Now add it to the components object of your Vue instance.

components: { 'form-builder': FormBuilder },

You can put the component in your HTML like this

<form-builder :json="" :on-submit="" :elements-only="true"></form-builder>

On submit

In your own javascript, create a function that you refer to in the form-builder component. For example:

function apply(json) {
    console.log(json);
    
    /*
     *  Note:
     *  
     *  This json can be used in your component property (:json="json")
     *  so that the form settings are already loaded when the vue component is created.
     *  
     *  So you should definitely save this json in your database so you can edit the form afterwards!
     */
}

Did you create the function as shown in the example above? Then you can use this in the component:

<form-builder :json="" :on-submit="apply" :elements-only="true"></form-builder>

Elements only

This property can be used to enable/disable editing the form attributes. In some cases you might want to use a dynamic form action (for example). In this case, you can set elements-only to true to make sure that the form attributes are not editable.

Json

The json object that your apply method returns can be used to send in the :json attribute. This way, you can edit a previously created form.

SortableJS

This package makes use of the sortablejs package. All the credits for the author of this package!

Thank you for using this Form Builder!
