Dynamic Forms for Laravel

User-defined forms are a perennial problem for developers.

Dynamic Forms for Laravel gives you an easy solution: a drag-and-drop builder, an easy way to display the forms, and back-end validation.

How does this work?

The front-end is powered by the open source Form.io JavaScript library. This is an awesome library: the builder is user-friendly, you can adjust what's offered, and add your own custom form fields.

On the backend, it's as simple as calling $request->validateDynamicForm(). It behaves just like the validate method you're used to in Laravel.

You do not need to use the Form.io SaaS platform. Your Laravel application is filling that role.

Getting Started

composer require northwestern-sysdev/dynamic-forms
php artisan dynamic-forms:install
npm install
npm run build

Further information about usage can be found in the docs.
