SolidJS guide
SolidJS uses fine-grained reactivity but the form pattern is the same: an `onSubmit` handler, a `fetch`, and a signal for status. FormLoom handles the rest.
Approach
Use `onSubmit` with `createSignal` for status. Serialize with `FormData` and POST JSON.
Code
ContactForm.tsx
// ContactForm.tsx — React (works in Vite, CRA, Next 'use client')
"use client";
import { useState } from "react";
export function ContactForm() {
const [status, setStatus] = useState<"idle" | "ok" | "error">("idle");
async function onSubmit(e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) {
e.preventDefault();
const form = e.currentTarget;
const res = await fetch("https://formloom.vercel.app/api/submit/YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Accept: "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(new FormData(form))),
});
setStatus((await res.json()).success ? "ok" : "error");
if (status !== "error") form.reset();
}
if (status === "ok") return <p>Thanks — we got your message.</p>;
return (
<form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
<label>
Name
<input type="text" name="name" required />
</label>
<label>
Email
<input type="email" name="email" required />
</label>
<label>
Message
<textarea name="message" required placeholder="How can we help?"></textarea>
</label>
<!-- honeypot: bots fill this, humans don't see it -->
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
);
}submit.ts
// npm i @formloom/client
import { createForm } from "@formloom/client";
type Contact = {
name: string;
email: string;
message: string;
};
const form = createForm<Contact>("YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
// End-to-end typed: TS errors if you send the wrong shape.
const { success, message } = await form.submit({
name: form.name.value,
email: form.email.value,
message: form.message.value,
});contact.html
<form id="contact-form">
<label>
Name
<input type="text" name="name" required />
</label>
<label>
Email
<input type="email" name="email" required />
</label>
<label>
Message
<textarea name="message" required placeholder="How can we help?"></textarea>
</label>
<!-- honeypot: bots fill this, humans don't see it -->
<input type="checkbox" name="botcheck" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<script>
const form = document.getElementById("contact-form");
form.addEventListener("submit", async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const res = await fetch("https://formloom.vercel.app/api/submit/YOUR_ACCESS_KEY", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Accept: "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(new FormData(form))),
});
const data = await res.json();
if (data.success) {
form.reset();
alert("Thanks — we got your message.");
} else {
alert(data.message || "Something went wrong.");
}
});
</script>Gotchas
- Call `e.preventDefault()` in the handler.
- Use a signal (`createSignal`) for the status UI, not React-style `useState`.
FAQ
Mostly the same JSX; use `createSignal` instead of `useState` for the status.
