Installation Package
Install Via npm
The npm installation is recommended, which works better with the webpack ↗ wrapper.
npm install form-making -S
CDN
The latest version of the resource is currently available at unpkg.com/form-making ↗, and you can start using it by import js and css files on the page.
<!-- import style -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/form-making/dist/FormMaking.css">
<!-- import component libraries -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/form-making/dist/FormMaking.umd.js"></script>
<!-- If you need to preview the code in the designer, you need to import the ace.js library-->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/form-making/public/lib/ace/ace.js"></script>
It is recommended that users who use CDN to import
FormMaking
lock the version at the linked address to avoid being affected by incompatible updates in future FormMaking upgrades. See unpkg.com ↗ for ways to lock versions.
Hello World

Quick Start
Import Element
The component library of Element-UI is used in the project, and the Element package needs to be import when it is used. Specific introduction of Element method please refer to the document [Quick Start ↗] (https://element.eleme.io/#/zh-CN/component/quickstart).
Import FormMaking
Complete Import

import 'form-making/dist/FormMaking.css'
Vue.use(FormMaking)
The above code completes the import of FormMaking. Note that style files need to be imported separately.
Partial Import

GenerateForm,
MakingForm
} from 'form-making'
import 'form-making/dist/FormMaking.css'

/* or you can import as below
* Vue.use(GenerateForm)
* Vue.use(MakingForm)
*/
Import ace.js
ace.js
is not imported by default. If you need to use ace.js
, you need to import it yourself

Internationalization
Components use vue-i18n@8.x
for multilingual support
Configuration of Language
The component supports simplified Chinese (zh-CN) and English (en-US). The default is simplified Chinese. If you want to use English, you need to configure as follows:
Vue.use(FormMaking, {lang: 'en-US'})
If you are using CDN, the configuration is as follows:
<script>
Vue.use(FormMaking, {
lang: 'en-US'
})
new Vue({
el: '#app'
})
</script>
Used in Multilingual Projects
import Vue from 'vue'
import Element from 'element-ui'
import FormMaking from 'form-making'
import VueI18n from 'vue-i18n'
import enLocale from 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/en'
import zhLocale from 'element-ui/lib/locale/lang/zh-CN'
Vue.use(VueI18n)
const messages = {
'en-US': {
message: 'hello',
...enLocale
},
'zh-CN': {
message: '你好',
...zhLocale
}
}
// Create VueI18n instance with options
const i18n = new VueI18n({
locale: 'zh-CN', // set locale
messages, // set locale messages
})
Vue.use(Element, {
i18n: (key, value) => i18n.t(key, value)
})
Vue.use(FormMaking, {lang: 'zh-CN', i18n})
new Vue({
i18n,
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')
