What FormForge Is

FormForge is a backend form engine for Laravel (non-UI):

• deterministic form schema
• immutable form revisions
• strict server-side validation
• built-in HTTP API
• scoped routes and owner-aware authorization
• submission exports (CSV/JSONL)
• GDPR retention/anonymization tools

Install

composer require evanschleret/formforge
php artisan formforge:install
php artisan migrate

Quick Start (Code-First)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use EvanSchleret\FormForge\Facades\Form;

Form::define('contact')
    ->title('Contact')
    ->version('1')
    ->text('name')->required()
    ->email('email')->required()
    ->textarea('message')->required();

Form::sync();

$submission = Form::get('contact')->submit([
    'name' => 'Ada',
    'email' => 'ada@example.com',
    'message' => 'Hello',
]);

HTTP API (Optional)

Enable and configure endpoints in config/formforge.php, then use routes under:

• /api/formforge/v1

Main endpoint groups:

• schema
• submission
• upload
• resolve
• draft
• management

For scoped tenant/context URLs, use formforge.http.scoped_routes.

Common Commands

php artisan formforge:list
php artisan formforge:describe contact
php artisan formforge:http:routes
php artisan formforge:http:options
php artisan formforge:sync
