Ask HN: Is there a good library for allowing users to build their own forms?

3 pointsvalanto4 comments

In our latest web based project we are looking to allow the users to create their own forms via the browser. Is there a decent javascript library that we can use?

dobtco's formbuilder is what we used: https://github.com/dobtco/formbuilder

It might take some tweaking to make it work for your use case, but it's a start. The nice thing is it outputs JSON, which you can parse when you're rendering the resulting form.

thanks! will have a go at it!

What libraries have already been considered?

Why weren't they used?

We haven't looked at any libraries yet. We are at the very early stages but will be investing some time looking at what is available and I will update the thread
