Building forms with Vue.js and Formzillion

Vue.js is a JavaScript framework for building dynamic and interactive user interfaces with a component-based architecture and reactive data binding. It provides developers with an effortless and intuitive development experience, enabling the creation of scalable and maintainable web applications.

This guide will demonstrate the quick process of adding a contact form to your Vue.js project and connecting it to Formzillion for submission handling.

How to create a Vue.js Contact Form

Step 1 — Create new form endpoint on Formzillion

Sign in to your Formzillion account and create a new form with name Vue.js Contact Form or a similar identifier. Formzillion will assign a unique form ID specifically for identifying your Vue.js form.

Step 2 — Create a new VueJS project

Great job! You have successfully created a new Vue.js site. Now, let's proceed to learn how to add a contact form into your project.

Step 3 — Create a Contact Form

To incorporate a contact form into your Vue.js site, you can either add it to the existing src/App.vue file.

To successfully submit your form to Formzillion, ensure that you include the 'FORM_ID' in the provided form code. This 'FORM_ID' should correspond to the ID assigned to your specific Formzillion form.

And there you have it! Once you fill out and submit the form, you will be able to view the default submission thank you page.

Congratulations! Your Vue.js site now has the contact form powered by Formzillion!
