Sign Up on FabForm.io:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@2.8.2/dist/alpine.min.js" defer></script>
```
  Or install it via npm:
```
npm install alpinejs
```
  Then include it in your JavaScript file:
```
import 'alpinejs';
```

Create the Contact Form HTML:

Create an HTML file for your contact form, for example, contact-form.html. In this file, use Alpine.js directives for data binding and form submission.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Contact Form</title>
  <!-- Include Alpine.js from CDN -->
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/alpinejs@2.8.2/dist/alpine.min.js" defer></script>
</head>
<body x-data="{ name: '', email: '', message: '' }">
  <div>
    <h1>Contact Us</h1>
    <form x-on:submit.prevent="submitForm">
      <label>
        Name:
        <input x-model="name" type="text">
      </label>
      <label>
        Email:
        <input x-model="email" type="email">
      </label>
      <label>
        Message:
        <textarea x-model="message"></textarea>
      </label>
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  </div>

  <script>
    function submitForm() {
      // FabForm.io endpoint
      const endpoint = 'YOUR_FABFORM_ENDPOINT';

      // Data to be submitted
      const data = {
        name: this.name,
        email: this.email,
        message: this.message,
      };

      // Submit the form using fetch
      fetch(endpoint, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(data),
      })
      .then(() => {
        console.log('Form submitted successfully');
        // Optionally, reset the form fields
        this.name = '';
        this.email = '';
        this.message = '';
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error('Error submitting form:', error);
      });
    }

    document.querySelector('[x-data]').__x.$watch('name', value => {
      console.log(value);
    });

  </script>
</body>
</html>

Replace ‘YOUR_FABFORM_ENDPOINT’:
- Replace 'YOUR_FABFORM_ENDPOINT' in the script with the actual endpoint you obtained from FabForm.io.
Run Your Application:
- Open the HTML file in a browser or set up a simple server to serve the file. Test the contact form to make sure it submits data to FabForm.io.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a contact form in Alpine.js that submits data to FabForm.io. Customize the form and styling as needed for your application.
