Overview

Crafting dynamic forms in WeWeb is all about using its user-friendly drag-and-drop tools paired with conditional logic to tailor the user experience. Different input fields such as text boxes, checkboxes, and dropdown menus can be added, and they react instantly to user actions. WeWeb also lets you link up with external data sources and make API calls, which simplifies populating fields and submitting information. This guide will lead you through putting together and managing dynamic forms, making sure they suit your unique project needs perfectly.

How to create dynamic forms in WeWeb?

Step 1: Login to WeWeb

First things first, log in to your WeWeb account. If you don't have one yet, you'll need to sign up.

Step 2: Create a New Project or Open an Existing One

Once you're in, either start a new project or open an existing one where you want to add the dynamic form.

Step 3: Navigate to the "Pages" Section

Head over to the "Pages" section in your project dashboard. Pick the page where you want to add the dynamic form.

Step 4: Add a Form Container

Drag and drop a form container from the left sidebar (usually in the "Components" section) onto your chosen page.

Step 5: Add Form Fields

Inside the form container, add the form fields you need (text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, etc.) by dragging them from the components sidebar. Arrange them however you like.

Step 6: Set Up Dynamic Data

For each form field that needs to be dynamic, click on it to open its settings panel. Configure the source of dynamic data from your dataset, API, or other data source linked to your WeWeb project.

Step 7: Bind Data to Form Fields

In the settings panel of each form field, bind the data by selecting the appropriate data binding options. This usually means picking the data model and the specific field that should populate the form field dynamically.

Step 8: Add Validation and Conditional Logic

Set up validation rules and any conditional logic directly in the settings panel of each form field. This could include rules for required fields, specific input formats, and visibility based on user actions.

Step 9: Configure Form Submission

Set up actions for what happens when the form is submitted. This could involve sending data to an API, storing it in a database, or triggering workflows within WeWeb.

Step 10: Style Your Form

Use the styling options in WeWeb to customize the appearance of your form. You can modify fonts, colors, paddings, and more to match your design requirements.

Step 11: Preview and Test

Preview your page to see the dynamic form in action. Test the form by entering data and ensuring that all dynamic fields and validation rules work as expected. Check if the form submits data correctly.

Step 12: Publish Your Changes

Once you're happy with your form, publish your changes to make the dynamic form live on your website.

Following these steps will guide you through creating dynamic forms in WeWeb.
