Laravel Form Builder

Drag-and-drop form builder for Laravel + Vue 3. Define form schemas in an admin UI (FormBuilder), then render and collect submissions with VForm.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Laravel 11, 12, or 13

Installation

Backend

composer require dcodegroup/laravel-form-builder
php artisan form-builder:install
php artisan migrate

form-builder:install publishes the create_forms_table and create_form_data_table migrations when they are not already present.

Frontend

npm install @dcodegroup-au/form-builder

Backend quick reference

Backend models & traits

Form

Stores the form definition (title, recipients, status, published_at, fields).

use Dcodegroup\FormBuilder\Models\Form;

$form = Form::saveModel([
    'title' => 'Onboarding',
    'status' => 'published',
    'fields' => $request->input('data.fields'),
]);

FormData

Stores a filled submission (values, completed_at) morph-linked to any model via formable, and related to a Form.

HasFilledForms

Add to any Eloquent model that can have filled forms:

use Dcodegroup\FormBuilder\Models\Traits\HasFilledForms;

class Job extends Model
{
    use HasFilledForms;
}

// Latest (or create) submission for a form
$formData = $job->getFormData($form, createNew: true);

// Persist values
$job->saveFormData($form, $values);

FormValidator

Use on a Form Request to build rules from required fields in the schema:

use Dcodegroup\FormBuilder\Http\Traits\FormValidator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StoreFormSubmissionRequest extends FormRequest
{
    use FormValidator;

    public function rules(): array
    {
        return $this->getRules([
            // extra static rules...
        ]);
    }

    public function messages(): array
    {
        return $this->getRules([], isMessage: true);
    }
}

Rules are derived from route('form')?->fields when present, otherwise from request()->input('data.fields').
