The code

Use `onSubmit` with `createSignal` for status. Serialize with `FormData` and POST JSON.

React component (client)
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>

      <label>
        Screenshot

const form = createForm<Contact>("YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");

Tips

  • Allow a screenshot upload to speed up triage.
  • Forward to GitHub Issues or Linear via a webhook.

FAQ
