Responsive JSON Form Generator – AOForm

Yet another dynamic form generator/builder/creator written in pure JavaScript.

The AOForm JavaScript library enables you to dynamically generate a fully responsive HTML form using JSON Schema and CSS Flexbox.

How to use it:

Load the AOForm’s JavaScript aoform.js and stylesheet aoform.css in the page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="src/aoform.css">
<script src="src/aoform.js"></script>

Prepare your form data as follows:

var form = [
    {
      "type": "input",
      "name": "name",
      "label": "Name",
      "values": ""
    },
    {
      "type": "select",
      "name": "color",
      "label": "Favorite Color",
      "values": [
        {"label":"Blue","value":"blue"},
        {"label":"Yellow","value":"yellow"},
        {"label":"Orange","value":"orange"}
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "radio",
      "name": "color",
      "label": "Method for contact you",
      "values": [
        {"label":"Email","value":"email"},
      {"label":"Phone","value":"phone"},
      {"label":"Videocall","value":"videocall"}
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "checkbox",
      "name": "pet",
      "label": "Pets have",
      "values": [
        {"label":"Dog","value":"dog"},
        {"label":"Cat","value":"cat"},
        {"label":"Turtle","value":"turtle"}
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "textarea",
      "name": "history",
      "label": "History of you",
      "values": "Default text in textarea"
    },
    {
      "type": "searchselect",
      "name": "language",
      "label": "Select languages you speak",
      "values": [
        {"label":"Spanish","value":"spanish"},
        {"label":"English","value":"english"},
        {"label":"Russian","value":"russian"}
      ]
    },
];
