Getting Started

Overview

Understand the architecture and choose the fastest path to production.

FormForge consists of two complementary packages:

  • FormForge (backend): deterministic form schema, revisions, server-side validation, endpoint security, and automation hooks for Laravel.
  • FormForge Client (frontend): typed Nuxt 4 runtime client, renderer components, composables, and admin helpers.

Choose one mode first

Backend modes

  1. Facade only for pure code-first usage.
  2. Built-in HTTP API for immediate API exposure.
  3. Scoped HTTP routes for owner-context URLs (/users/{user}, /teams/{team}).
  4. Custom controllers only for advanced behavior that cannot be configured.

Client modes

  1. Renderer mode with <FormForgeRenderer>.
  2. Controlled mode with composables and custom UI.
  3. Admin mode for management/categories/responses.
