Form Management Platform

formsflow.ai leverages form.io to build "serverless" data management applications using a simple drag-and-drop form builder interface.

To know more about form.io, go to https://form.io.

Prerequisites

• For docker based installation Docker need to be installed.

Solution Setup

Installation

• Make sure you have a Docker machine up and running.
• Make sure your current working directory is "formio"
• Rename the file sample.env to .env.
• Modify the environment variables in the newly created .env file if needed. Environment variables are given in the table below,
• NOTE : {your-ip-address} given inside the .env file should be changed to your host system IP address. Please take special care to identify the correct IP address if your system has multiple network cards

ℹ️ Variables with trailing 🚩 in below table should be updated in the .env file

Variable name	Meaning	Possible values	Default value
FORMIO_DB_USERNAME	Mongo Root Username. Used on installation to create the database.Choose your own		admin
FORMIO_DB_PASSWORD	Mongo Root Password		changeme

Additionally, you may want to change these

• The value of Mongo database details (especially if this instance is not just for testing purposes)
• The value of ROOT user account details (especially if this instance is not just for testing purposes)

Running the application

• forms-flow-forms service uses port 3001, make sure the port is available.
• cd {Your Directory}/formio
• Run docker-compose up -d to start.

NOTE: Use --build command with the start command to reflect any future .env changes eg : docker-compose up --build -d

To stop the application

• Run docker-compose stop to stop.

Health Check

The application should be up and available for use at port defaulted to 3001 in (i.e. http://localhost:3001/)

    User Name / Email : admin@example.com

Custom Components

formsflow.ai has custom components supported which are created by extending the base components within forms-flow-forms and then registering them within the core renderer.

Custom componets available in formsflow.ai are:

Component Name	About	How to use
Text Area with Analytics	To enable Text fields for sentiment analysis processing	link

If you are interested in adding custom components for your use case in formsflow.ai we highly recommend you to take a look at Custom Component Docs to understand how Form.io renderer allows for the creation of Custom components. You can also take a look at formio.contrib to look for examples and even contribute the custom components you create.

Adding new indexes

You can add new indexes in Mongodb shell, according to your requirement. You can create indexes like below example:

db.submissions.createIndex({
    "data.applicationStatus ": 1
})

In this example:

• submissions is the collection name.
• data.applicationStatus is the fields which are to be added in index.
