Formstack plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
==================================

[](#formstack-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Plugin to integrate Formstack forms.

[![Formstack Logo](./resources/img/formstack-logo.svg)](./resources/img/formstack-logo.svg)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require milesherndon/formstack

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Formstack.

Formstack Overview
------------------

[](#formstack-overview)

This plugin has a Formstack Form fieldtype which allows the selection of forms. The field pulls the forms directly from the associated account.

Also, when the field is displayed, it provides the JSON returned from Formstack for the selected form.

Configuring Formstack
---------------------

[](#configuring-formstack)

Once installed, go to Settings -> Formstack and save the oAuth token. This token can be found in the API settings within the Formstack account.

Using Formstack
---------------

[](#using-formstack)

**Field Type**

Create a field and select the Formstack Form field type.

**Display Form**

Set a form variable with the data returned form formstack.

`{% set formstack = craft.formstack.getFormById(entry.contactForm) %}`

By default, only fields are returned in the response. However, extra items can be returned by adding them as a second parameter like below:

`{% set formstack = craft.formstack.getFormById(entry.contactForm, ['viewkey', 'name']) %}`

This will pass the viewkey and the name in the response as well. To see what else can be returned, view the [API documentation here](https://developers.formstack.com/docs/form-id-get).

**Example Template**

```
{% set formstack = craft.formstack.getFormById(entry.contactForm, ['viewkey']) %}

    {% if formstack is defined %}

                {% for field in formstack.fields %}

                        {% if field.type == "name" or field.type == "text" or field.type == "email" or field.type == "phone" %}
                            {% if field.placeholder is defined and field.placeholder is not empty %}
                                {% set placeholder = field.placeholder %}
                            {% else %}
                                {% set placeholder = field.label %}
                            {% endif %}

                            {{field.label}} {% if field.required %} *{% endif %}
                        {% endif %}
                        {% if field.type == "textarea" %}

                            {{field.label}} {% if field.required %} *{% endif %}
                        {% endif %}
                        {% if field.type == "select" %}

                                    Choose One
                                    {% for option in field.options %}
                                        {{option.label}}
                                    {% endfor %}

                            {{field.label}} {% if field.required %} *{% endif %}
                        {% endif %}

                {% endfor %}

    {% endif %}

```

Formstack Roadmap
-----------------

[](#formstack-roadmap)

- Add extra checks to verify if form exists
- Allow for default form selection
- Add default templating
- Add caching of Formstack responses
