Form DSL Reference

Code-first builder methods for fields, validation, publication settings, and file options.

Main builder

Form::define('key')
->title('...')
->version('1')
->category('...')
->published(true|false)
->unpublished(true|false)

Field methods

text, number
radio, checkboxGroup
consent
temporal
date, time as convenience aliases for temporal(...)
file
address

Prefer temporal(...) in new code. The date(...) and time(...) helpers remain as convenience aliases for existing codebases.

Common field options

required(bool = true)
default(mixed)
label(string)
placeholder(string)
helpText(string)
rules(string|array ...$rules)
replaceRules(string|array ...$rules)
meta(array)
min(...), max(...), step(...)
options(array)
multiple(bool = true)
disabled(bool = true)

Publication settings

These values are stored on the form definition and are consumed by the runtime and HTTP API:

publish_at
pause_at
response_limit
submission_code_required
submission_code

public_url is read-only and is resolved at response time by the backend public-link resolver.

File field options

accept(string|array)
maxSize(int)
maxFiles(int)
storageDisk(string)
storageDirectory(string)
visibility('public'|'private')

Client Installation

Install FormForge Client in Nuxt 4 and render your first form.
