Revolutionize Your Form Building Experience
When building a web application, what’s the most dreaded part of the process? Implementing forms, of course! It’s a necessary evil, but the sheer amount of effort required to create high-quality forms can be overwhelming. From inconsistent input tags to poor frontend validation and accessibility requirements, the developer experience is often marred by tedious markup and frustrating inconsistencies.
Imagine a Better Way
What if we could standardize the API for all inputs, making each input type predictable and interchangeable? What if we had an expressive syntax for executing complex frontend validation? What if we could supercharge v-model to generate a single object from our form data with ease? With Vue Formulate, these quality-of-life improvements and many others are now a reality.
A Simple Example
Let’s start with a simple user sign-up form for a fictional conference. We’ll ask for a username, email, short bio, password, and password confirmation. At first glance, this seems straightforward, but we quickly realize the headaches involved in authoring this form:
- Inconsistent APIs for inputs
- Verbose markup for labels and help text
- Basic validation for required fields, but limited customization options
- No built-in support for checking username availability
Taking it to the Next Level
With Vue Formulate, we can rewrite this form to be more concise, easier to understand, and packed with powerful features. We’ll use two distinct components: FormulateForm and FormulateInput. The APIs for inputs are now internally consistent, and we can use expressive inline validation rules to perform complex validation logic without adding custom methods or computed properties to our component.
Making it Complicated
Let’s build a multi-attendee purchase form for our fictional conference, FormulateConf 2020. We’ll showcase some of Vue Formulate’s more powerful features, such as repeatable grouped fields, v-model support, and more. By wrapping our user detail fields in a FormulateInput of type group and setting the repeatable prop to true, we can implement repeatable fields out of the box.
Unlock the Full Potential of Vue Formulate
With Vue Formulate, you can:
- Easily handle and populate form errors from a backend API
- Repopulate a form from a single object, perfect for setting initial state on editable user profiles
- Override default Vue Formulate component templates with full scoped slot support
- Generate a form from a JSON object thanks to the standardized API on the single
