Installation

Below are some prerequisites before install Form Builder.

Step 1: Install Angular Material

Install Angular Material by running the following command:

ng add @angular/material

Step 2: Install Bootstrap

Install Bootstrap source Sass files by running the following command:

npm install bootstrap

Step 3: Install ASW Form Builder

Install Form Builder to set up in the project by running the following command:

npm install @asoftwareworld/form-builder

Step 4: Import the component modules

Import the NgModule for each component you want to use:

import { FormBuilderModule, PreviewTemplateModule } from '@asoftwareworld/form-builder';
// ...

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // shown passing global defaults (optional)
    FormBuilderModule,
    PreviewTemplateModule
    ...
  ]
  // ...
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 5: Include a theme

Including a theme is required to apply the form builder and controls design.

You can include this theme in component SCSS or CSS files to not use this globally in your application.

@import '~@asoftwareworld/form-builder/theming/theming-bundle.scss';

If you're using the Angular CLI, and you want to use themes globally in your application. Then you can add this to your styles.css or angular.json:

styles.css or styles.scss:

@import '~@asoftwareworld/form-builder/theming/theming-bundle.scss';

angular.json:

"styles": [
  "./node_modules/@asoftwareworld/form-builder/theming/theming-bundle.scss"
],

If you are not using the Angular CLI, you can include a theme via a <link> element in your index.html.

Add a selector to HTML

In your template, use the component selector:

<asw-form-builder (publishClick)="saveJsonData($event)"
                  (previewClick)="previewTemplate($event)"></asw-form-builder>

Preview Template, use the component selector in your HTML page:

<asw-preview-template [formContainer]="jsonData"></asw-preview-template>

Define in your component to get published event :

export class AppComponent {
  title = 'ASW Form Builder Demo';
  jsonData:any[]=[];
  
  // Publish Template
  saveJsonData(data: any){
    //.... 
    console.log(data);
    // do something
  }
  
  //Preview Template
  previewTemplate(data: any){
    this.jsonData = data;
  }
}
