How To Create A Contact Form With Vue.js

How To Create A Contact Form With Vue.js

Creating a contact form with Vue.js using FabForm.io involves several steps. FabForm.io is a service that allows you to create HTML forms and handle form submissions easily. Below is a basic guide on how to create a contact form with Vue.js and FabForm.io:

  1. Sign Up on FabForm.io:

  2. Create a New Form:

    • After signing up, log in to your FabForm.io account.
    • Create a new form and customize the form fields as needed.
  3. Copy Form Endpoint:

    • Once you’ve created the form, copy the form endpoint URL provided by FabForm.io. This URL will be used to send form data.
  4. Set Up Vue.js Project:

    • Create a new Vue.js project or use an existing one.
    • Make sure you have Vue.js installed. You can install it using:
      npm install vue
  5. Create Vue Component:

    • Create a new Vue component for your contact form. For example, ContactForm.vue.
    <!-- ContactForm.vue -->
    <template>
      <div>
        <form @submit.prevent="submitForm">
          <!-- Your form fields go here -->
          <label for="name">Name:</label>
          <input type="text" id="name" v-model="formData.name" required>
    
          <label for="email">Email:</label>
          <input type="email" id="email" v-model="formData.email" required>
    
          <!-- Add more fields as needed -->
    
          <button type="submit">Submit</button>
        </form>
      </div>
    </template>
    
    <script>
    export default {
      data() {
        return {
          formData: {
            name: '',
            email: '',
            // Add more fields as needed
          },
        };
      },
      methods: {
        async submitForm() {
          // Send form data to FabForm.io endpoint
          const response = await fetch('YOUR_FABFORM_IO_ENDPOINT', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
              'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(this.formData),
          });
    
          // Handle the response as needed
          console.log('Form submitted:', response);
        },
      },
    };
    </script>
    
    <style scoped>
    /* Add your component-specific styles here */
    </style>

    Make sure to replace 'YOUR_FABFORM_IO_ENDPOINT' with the actual endpoint URL you copied from FabForm.io.

  6. Include Component in App:

    • Include your ContactForm component in your main App component or wherever you want to display the form.
    <!-- App.vue -->
    <template>
      <div id="app">
        <ContactForm />
      </div>
    </template>
    
    <script>
    import ContactForm from './components/ContactForm.vue';
    
    export default {
      components: {
        ContactForm,
      },
    };
    </script>
    
    <style>
    /* Add your global styles here */
    </style>
  7. Run Your Vue.js App:

    • Run your Vue.js app to see the contact form in action.
    npm run serve

That’s it! You’ve now created a basic contact form with Vue.js using FabForm.io for form submissions. Customize the form fields and styles according to your requirements.
