Create Your First Form

Option 1: Using the Admin Interface

1. Navigate to /admin/forms (or your configured admin prefix)
2. Click "Create Form"
3. Add fields using the drag-and-drop form builder
4. Configure settings and notifications
5. Save and publish your form

Option 2: Programmatically

use ArtisanPackUI\Forms\Models\Form;
use ArtisanPackUI\Forms\Models\FormField;

// Create a form
$form = Form::create([
    'name' => 'Contact Form',
    'slug' => 'contact',
    'description' => 'A simple contact form',
    'is_active' => true,
]);

// Add fields
FormField::create([
    'form_id' => $form->id,
    'type' => 'text',
    'name' => 'name',
    'label' => 'Your Name',
    'required' => true,
    'order' => 1,
]);

FormField::create([
    'form_id' => $form->id,
    'type' => 'email',
    'name' => 'email',
    'label' => 'Email Address',
    'required' => true,
    'order' => 2,
]);

FormField::create([
    'form_id' => $form->id,
    'type' => 'textarea',
    'name' => 'message',
    'label' => 'Your Message',
    'required' => true,
    'order' => 3,
]);

Display Your Form

Add the form to any Blade view:

<livewire:forms::form-renderer slug="contact" />

Or by form ID:

<livewire:forms::form-renderer :form-id="1" />

Handle Submissions

Form submissions are automatically stored in the database. You can:

1. View in Admin: Navigate to /admin/forms/{form}/submissions
2. Listen for Events: Subscribe to the FormSubmitted event
3. Configure Notifications: Set up email notifications in the form settings

Event Listener Example

use ArtisanPackUI\Forms\Events\FormSubmitted;

class SendSlackNotification
{
    public function handle(FormSubmitted $event): void
    {
        $form = $event->form;
        $submission = $event->submission;

        // Send to Slack, log, or perform other actions
    }
}
