Take My Form

Take My Form is a easy to implement endpoint for your HTML forms. Perfect for your static/jamstack sites.

It uses FastAPI, smtplib and EmailMessage to take care of everything.

Implementation on the frontend is as simple as:

<form action="https://yourdomain.com/api/submit/your@email.com" method="POST">
     <input type="text" name="name" required>
     <input type="text" name="subject" required>
     <input type="email" name="email" required>
     <input type="textfield" name="message" required>
     <textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="50">
     <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form> 

How it works

On submission

1. Check if the domain is in the allowed origin list
2. Submit if origin (website) domain is in the list

It's as simple as that.

How to run it

Take My Form is currently in beta (it works as intended).

1. Clone this git repo

Point your form action to ../api/submit/your@email.com like:

TODO

• Build working docker container
• Docker-compose file with reverse proxy
• Implement static CORS
• Implement validation process for sending emails
  • This will allow the server make use of emails with different domain to the website the form is in
• Probably more
