Form Generator

A lightweight application for generating dynamic form websites and storing user responses. The form fields, labels, and behavior are fully configurable via a TOML configuration file.

Usage

The server will listen on 127.0.0.1:8081 by default. You can override with:

SERVER_PORT=8082 form-generator

Configuration

The application is configured via a TOML file (default: config.toml).

See config.toml for an example.

Configuration Fields

• json_output: Path to the JSON file where responses are stored.

• submit_button: Text displayed on the form’s submit button.

• fields: List of form fields

  • name: Internal key for storage.
  • title: Label displayed in the form.
  • description: Short description displayed below the field.
  • answer_type: Type of input (text, number, email, password, url, tel, textarea).
  • html_before (optional): HTML snippet rendered before the field.
  • html_after (optional): HTML snippet rendered after the field.

Lib
