Getting Started

Backend Installation

Install FormForge in Laravel and ship your first server-side form flow.

Requirements

PHP >=8.2
Laravel 12.x or 13.x
For Laravel 13.x, PHP >=8.3 is required by Laravel itself.

Install and migrate

Terminal

composer require evanschleret/formforge
php artisan formforge:install
php artisan migrate

For safe upgrades of existing installations:

Terminal

php artisan formforge:install:merge --dry-run
php artisan formforge:install:merge
php artisan migrate

Define your first form

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use EvanSchleret\FormForge\Facades\Form;

Form::define('contact')
    ->title('Contact')
    ->version('1')
    ->category('contact')
    ->text('name')->required()->max(120)
    ->email('email')->required()
    ->textarea('message')->required();

Form::sync();

Submit from PHP

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use EvanSchleret\FormForge\Facades\Form;

$form = Form::get('contact');

$submission = $form->submit([
    'name' => 'Evan',
    'email' => 'evan@example.com',
    'message' => 'Hello'
]);

At this point, the package is fully usable without exposing any FormForge HTTP route.
