A form building web-app. Forms will be designed and then injected into an existing page or even multiple existing pages. Filling out the form will drop the data into a database using JSON.
Currently there is only UI support for creation and use of user accounts as well as the start of form building
- cargo - a nightly version (may be easiest to use rustup)
- postgres
Install wasm-pack
In the site directory, use wasm-pack to build the frontend wasm-pack build --target web
Then use rollup to create a singular bundle:
rollup ./main.js --format iife --file ./pkg/bundle.js
The pkg directory will now contain bundle.js and reform_site_bg.wasm.
Place these files into the server's static folder under static/pkg, renaming the wasm file to reform_site.wasm
To ease this process, the site folder contains shell scripts to build the bundle and copy it to the server directory:
./build.sh && ./copy.sh
Cargo can be used normally to build Rocket:
cargo build
This is largely the same as the frontend.
Install wasm-pack and rollup and use them to build the package.
Almost identical build.sh and copy.sh scripts have been provided to build the injector bundle.
In order for the backend to function, you must create server/.env and specify at a minimum the DATABASE_URL.
An example .env file has been included.
When building in debug mode the secret will be a hardcoded string, but be sure to specify SECRET_KEY in the env file for actual use
First, create the database (you can use server/create_db.sql)
Use diesel_cli (cargo install diesel_cli) to run the migrations for the server: diesel migration run
The form injector script will look over the DOM for a tag with the class reform-form and attempt to place
input fields matching those defined for the form URL given.
To pass the form URL the select tag should also provide a data-form attribute that specifies the API endpoint
containing the form.
An example of how this may look is provided in the server's directory static/form.html
