Capture Form Data
The Form widget is a special type of container used to build validated forms. Multiple widgets can be dragged inside the form widget to capture data. The form widget comes with a form button pre-configured.
The form button is disabled if
- Any of the required fields inside the form are not filled
- The form contains an input whose value does not match the regex configured
Submitting Form Data
Form data can be submitted using a PUT / POST API or an Insert / Update Query. To submit form data,
- 1.Bind the onClick of the form button to call the API / Query
- 2.Configure onSuccess to Display a success message
- 3.Configure the API / Query to read the inputs from the form widgets using Javascript.
Widgets inside a form are automatically reset to their default values when the Form Button onClick succeeds. This can be disabled in the button properties
Displaying Submitted Data
Once the API / Query updates the data, the widgets on the screen need to be updated with new data as well. The best way to achieve this is to simply re-fetch the data from the API / Query rather than trying to append the data to the existing data set. This can be done in the onSuccess of the API / Query.
The Property Pane UI supports a single onSuccess Callback but multiple callbacks and conditions can be configured by clicking the JS button next to the property. Learn more about Creating Workflows​

application/x-www-form-urlencoded will auto encoded the value sent in the body field.Last modified 21d ago
