FormKiQ Client SDK - JavaScript

Note: This Initial Version comes with CommonJS and ES6 versions

Installation

npm i formkiq-client-sdk-javascript

FormKiQ Client SDK should now be available as part of your node_modules.

Instructions for Use (Web/CommonJS)

Note: while these instructions are for including this SDK in a script tag, you can also use the ES6 version for frameworks such as Angular and React JS: ./node_modules/formkiq-client-sdk-javascript/dist/formkiq-client-sdk-es6.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="./node_modules/formkiq-client-sdk-javascript/dist/web-cjs/formkiq-client-sdk-cjs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
      
  let formkiqClient;
  window.onload = () => {
    
    // specify Host, Cognito User Pool Id, and Cognito Client Id
    formkiqClient = new FormkiqClient(
      '{FormKiQHttpApiUrl',
      '{userPoolId}',
      '{clientId}'
    );
    
    // obviously this would not be hard-coded for non-public creds
    // NOTE: these public credentials for [email protected] are for read-only access
    formkiqClient.login('{email}', '{password}');

    // get current version of FormKiQ
    formkiqClient.VersionApi.getVersion().then((response) => {
      console.log(response);
    });

  }

</script>

Automatic Handling of Web Forms

Example: Contact Form

Example (with attachments): Job Application Form

To add processing to any web form using FormKiQ, add the class "fkq-form" to your HTML FORM tag:

<form class="fkq-form">

No action or onsubmit is required or desired, as FormKiQ Web Form Handler will automatically create the submission action.

A submit button is expected, to trigger the onsubmit event that the Web Form Handler uses to submit the form:

<input
  type="submit"
  value="Submit Your Fake Application"
  />

NOTE: You can use any input type, including text inputs, passwords, checkboxes, radio buttons, or file uploads. Selects (dropdowns, whether single value or multiple) and textareas are also available for use by the Web Form Handler.

There are two callbacks included in the Web Form Handler:

• onFormSubmitted(formName)
• onFormCompleted(formName, response: {})

Any input fields that should be required should include a "required" HTML Attribute, and those will prevent the form from submitting. To create custom validation rules, you should submit the form manually using onsubmit, and add extra validation in the triggered submit function.

Submitting a Form Manually

You can submit the form manually using formkiqClient.webFormsHandler.submitFormkiqForm(thisForm);
