How to configure à Form?

Hello,

Sorry if my question is very basic, but I don’t understand how to configure fields of au Form.

I try to create au contact form, and I want to add some fiels (name, subject, message, birthdate), but when I creat the form, I don’t see where I can add these fields :

You can’t do it with the core. Just send any fields and they will be saved.

The mailer only works if you add your mailer settings in config.yaml.

mailer:
    from      : contactform@example.com
    from_name : MyApp
    transport : smtp
    host      : smtphost.provider.com
    user      : fancy-username
    password  : SuperSavePassword
    port      : 587
    auth      : true
    encryption: starttls

If you want form fields, you can build something similar with a collection or use the FormValidation addon.

Ok, I understand how to work Form feature, but, I have another question.

Is it possible to have a dynamic value for email in a form ?

Thanks you.

Not by default and not with the FormValidation addon (yet).

You could build a custom setup. Leave the mail field empty and add something like this to config/bootstrap.php

$app->on('forms.submit.after', function($form, &$data, $frm){
    // your custom checks...

    try { // catch errror messages from mailer
        // send a custom mail
        $response = $this->app->mailer->mail($sendMyTo, $subject, $body, $options);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        $response = $e->getMessage();
    }
    // do something else
});

What is your goal?
